GUST

The Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) charter establishing GUST as the first private university in the State of Kuwait by the Executive Office for Private Universities, Ministry of Higher Education, Kuwait, according to Amiri Decree number 156 for 2002, was approved in July 2002.
GUST is a four-year liberal arts university. Operating in new state-of-the-art facility Mishref campuse, GUST has enrolled more than 3,200 students since its inception. In the mid-1990s, a group of distinguished Kuwaiti academicians and businessmen realized the vital importance of establishing in Kuwait a modern university equal in quality to other prestigious universities abroad. The University was to be a supplement to Kuwait University, the only institution of higher education in Kuwait at that time, and to serve the ever-increasing educational demands of Kuwaiti society and the Gulf region. Its primary purpose was to prepare generations of young leaders and professionals, better equipped to deal with the demands of a new global technological era.
