For exchange students
The following information is valid only for exchange students, studying 1-2 semesters at AAUC as part of their programme at home.
AAUC does not offer fulltime undergraduate/bachelor degree study programmes in English, but some courses are taught in English to facilitate student exchanges. You will find a list of available courses taught in English, sorted by semester, with links to course descriptions in the menue.
Exchange students who fullfill the entrance requirements for our master programmes, may apply for admittance to courses taught in English in these programmes. Acceptance is provided faculty approval and available places on the courses in question. Please note that courses on master degree level require a very good command of English.
