Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST)

About Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST)

In the mid-1990s, a group of distinguished Kuwaiti academicians and businessmen realized the vital importance of establishing a modern university in Kuwait equal in quality to other prestigious universities abroad and to serve the ever-increasing educational demands of the local society and the Gulf region. Its primary purpose was to prepare generations of young leaders and professionals for the demands of a new global technological era. In January 1997, Kuwaiti Academic Group, comprised of 41 faculty members from Kuwait University, was established to lay the foundation for the proposed "University of the Future." Their studies culminated in the vision of "Gulf University for Science and Technology" (GUST).

Vision

“GUST believes that it is both possible and desirable to establish an American-style, accredited, degree-granting university with campus locations in Kuwait.” GUST will accomplish these goals by developing and maintaining a “student first” attitude and by providing a positive, creative work environment that respects diversity, new ideas and hard work.

Mission

To enrich the cultural, intellectual, academic and technological movement in the Kuwaiti, Gulf and Arab society. To meet the needs of the labor market for professionals and technicians by providing manpower whose qualifications are consistent with its expectations.
