L'université cherche à ouvrir des études de troisième cycle dans les diverses spécialités existantes de l'AIU et fournira les environnements requis pour la recherche et l'innovation, qui à son tour fourniraient une incubation pour les études et la recherche d'étudiants de troisième cycle. La présence d'études de troisième cycle entraînerait une augmentation des activités de recherche scientifique et d'innovation à l'université. La recherche et les études de troisième cycle se soutiendraient l'une l'autre.
AIU aims at supporting scientific research to attract local expertise from the university academic staff and researchers from outside to work in research and innovation. AIU works to realize the link between the business sector, institutions, establishments, industrial companies from public and private sectors and AIU in order to serve them and contribute to the economic, social, scientific and administrative development in the Syrian society.
The university seeks to open postgraduate studies in the various existing specialties at AIU and will provide the required environments for research and innovation, which in its turn would provide incubation for studies and research of postgraduate students. The presence of postgraduate studies would lead to an increase in the activities of scientific research and innovation at the university. Both research and postgraduate studies would be supportive of each other
