The American University of Malta (AUM) is a private institution offering American-style liberal arts education, located in Cospicua, Malta. Announced in May 2015, the university was introduced as part of a broader initiative aimed at supporting the economic and social development of southern Malta. Following the announcement, Dock 1 in Cospicua was selected as the main campus site, with additional locations proposed in Cospicua and Żonqor, Marsaskala. The university was officially established on 16 September 2016.
The AUM admitted its first cohort of students in September 2017, during the restoration of its main campus. The restoration was completed in January 2019, followed by the university's official inauguration ceremony in March 2019.
