International Exchange Program

Outgoing Exchange Students

To experience first-hand a different way of life, culture and intellectual environment is invaluable education and can help expand your horizon.

At AUS, we encourage our students to take any opportunity that helps them grow and develop as global citizens and actively engage with numerous other partner universities and organizations to achieve that goal. 

We have numerous exchange agreements through consortia and with individual institutions around the world, For information about our partner universities in the US, Canada, Germany and France; international student exchange programs that we are members of; and how you can apply to our program, please visit aus.studioabroad.com.

Spending time at a university abroad is a truly enriching experience. To make the best use of this opportunity, it is always good to be well-prepared about the university one is hoping to attend. What are the residential halls like? How can one register for courses? Does one need insurance coverage? What about visa information? What is the important arrival information one needs to have before embarking on the journey? You can find answers to all such queries and more at aus.studioabroad.com.
