The academic program at AUW is based on the firm belief that responsible citizens of the world must be equipped with strong skills in critical thinking, analysis, and communication. The unique "(1)+3+2" liberal arts curriculum developed at our University is composed of the following programs:
The Access Academy, a year-long pre-collegiate bridge program that provides a critical foundation in English language studies, mathematics and quantitative reasoning, and computer skills. The Academy is designed to enable students to acquire the requisite academic preparation to pursue a rigorous University education.
The combined undergraduate and graduate degree programs, taken over a total of five years: three years of rigorous training in the liberal arts and science; and two years of specialized graduate professional training.
During their undergraduate studies, students will also have the opportunity to engage in various internships with public and private organizations in countries across the region.
English is the medium of instruction in all AUW programs.
Students accepted to the Access program with full scholarship and who are subsequently accepted into the undergraduate program will be supported throughout the course of their studies at AUW (both BA and MA) as long as they maintain acceptable academic performance.
