You will learn to break out of your comfort zone, step beyond the bounds of general knowledge and discover your passions. Students and faculty bring their diverse cultural backgrounds, languages and perspectives into the classroom.

All you need to be a global explorer is the courage to live and learn in an international environment.
Our professors act as both mentors and collaborators, pushing you to question ideas and reflect on varied topics. Coming from renowned universities all over the world, faculty members work to expose you to multiple disciplines, professions and institutions. AUP’s small community means greater faculty-student interaction, and professors are excited to welcome you to campus, to hear your ideas and to help you decide on your future path.
We measure the success of our mission by the impact our graduates have on the world. Many alumni take on leadership roles in international organizations. An exposure to multidisciplinary and multicultural perspectives coupled with a deep-dive into a particular field of expertise means graduates are able to apply their classroom learning successfully in a variety of careers. What you can achieve at AUP is just a preview of what you can achieve after graduation.
