Equipped with state-of-the-art dental technology, including advanced dental chairs and X-ray units, this self-sustaining mobile clinic brings essential care directly to
communities, ensuring that individuals — regardless of their circumstances — receive the treatment they need.

In addition, AU operates fully equipped on-campus dental clinics, providing free-of-charge treatment to thousands of patients each year. These state-of-the-art
facilities serve as a vital training ground for future dental professionals while delivering essential oral healthcare to the community.
Under the guidance of experienced faculty, students gain hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating patients, reinforcing AU’s mission to combine academic
excellence with social impact.
Volunteer ethos

Beyond its healthcare initiatives, AU fosters a strong culture of volunteerism and community engagement, with over 1,500 volunteers actively contributing to
community-driven projects.

In the past year alone, AU volunteers have dedicated 3,376 hours to meaningful service, supporting initiatives in healthcare, education, sustainability, and social
welfare. These efforts reflect the university’s commitment to social responsibility, empowering students to become agents of positive change while reinforcing AU’s
role as a driving force for community impact.

Values of sustainability
On a similar note, the university established the Office of Sustainability in 2018 to pave the way for a greener tomorrow by spearheading initiatives across various
domains such as environment, society, and economy.

As a proud member of the International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN) and the UAE Universities Climate Network (UCN), AU aligns its efforts with
internationally recognised best practices in environmental stewardship and climate action.

These memberships enable the university to collaborate with institutions worldwide, exchange innovative solutions, and drive impactful sustainability initiatives.
On the other hand, societal initiatives aim to integrate sustainability principles into teaching and learning, empowering future generations while fostering a culture of
sustainability within the campus. Finally, economic endeavours seek to create cutting-edge sustainable solutions through research, while advancing practices that
promote a healthy and prosperous future.
Through such trailblazing initiatives, AU continues to uphold the humanitarian ethos that forms the organisation’s foundational values and reflects the ambitious
vision of sustainable transformation at a national level.
In addition to being a centre of educational excellence, Ajman University is a beacon of the UAE’s commitment to community engagement and social upliftment.
The university harmonises the dual aspects of education and community building, as it drives positive social change, reinforcing Sheikh Zayed’s legacy of
compassion and progress.
