Admission Requirements

Admission Requirements

Our minimum admission requirements depend on the applicant's type of secondary education program and certificate.

In all cases, for non-vocational certificates, only subjects classified as academic by AUS are accepted for admission consideration and the calculation of averages.  Admission to the university is competitive, and the actual required minimum average for admission consideration and to guarantee a seat will depend on:

• secondary education certificate or school average
• SAT scores (as applicable)
• number of qualified applicants
• number of available seats

However, the minimum required average for accepting an application is the equivalent of 80 percent or more in the final year (national exams only) of secondary education, or 80 percent or more in the best two out of the last three years. Other program-specific requirements or restrictions may also apply.

Additionally, all students must also sit for the TOEFL exam:

• The passing score for TOEFL "ITP" is 530 and for the internet-based TOEFL "iBT" is 71

Applicants must obtain the above score in order to be admitted to an AUS college/school. Scores are only valid for two calendar years. Students who score below the minimum required TOEFL score but who otherwise meet AUS admission standards may be admitted to the Achievement Academy/Bridge Program at AUS.
