Study Abroad at The American University in Cairo

I spent an exchange semester at AUC as part of my master’s program. I was particularly impressed with the courses that I took in the refugee studies program. The courses were highly engaging and professors encouraged active student participation. I particularly appreciated this as students came from a diversity of academic and professional backgrounds, enriching the class discussions. The professors were also accessible and willing to meet outside of class to discuss the topics covered. For anyone interested in migration or refugee studies, I highly recommend an exchange semester at AUC!

this is one of the best experiences that I had. I knew a lot of new friends, spend a really good time at the university. go outside and discover new places.
my advice to all people is just to try to know more people especially Egyptian friends to know more about the country and the places and also know more about the language and so on. and actually they are very helpful.
and also I knew more international students and knew more about each country and had friends all over the world because of the diversity in the uni.

I was very nervous to go back to university to do my Master's degree but I knew I wanted to study at AUC and applied to the GSE (formerly the Graduate School of Education now HUSS) program and was accepted. I wanted to choose a program that was suited to my personality, career goals, and academic interests so I after a lot of research I knew the graduate program at AUC was the perfect fit. While I have traveled extensively, this was my first time studying abroad and I am glad I took the leap! AUC is an incredible institution and I have met professors and peers that have helped me grow as an academic and as a person.

I lived all my live in Saudi Arabia and I have heard a lot about the American University in Cairo. in fact I heard about a lot of good and fun experiences, most of cousins went there so it was kind of my dream university and when I got accepted, it's was one of the most amazing experiences ever first there is first year program; you get to tour all the campus and make amazing and fun activities.

and when it comes to learning it's a liberal art University so you get to learn about your major and some other branches outside of your major. AUC is a community of itself, the people are very friendly and helpful I do feel like it's my second home.

the academics are really fun and knowledgeable, you will learn a lot and everything is provided regarding books, printing and food. there's lounges everywhere, the library is huge you can study in it and there's rooms and quiet places.

overall I do recommend AUC it's a whole package and I'm sure everyone coming from abroad will not regret it

I came to AUC as an exchange student without ever having travelled to Egypt before and let me tell you, it is an amazing experience! The campus is gorgeous - the gardens, the architecture, it all has its very own charm. The staff at AUC is very helpful and friendly - whenever I faced a small inconvenience, I was helped right away. This is just as true for Egyptians outside of AUC!
Studying at AUC means hard work, but the input you get from your professors and fellow students is definitely worth it. Academically, the university has a lot to offer but it also organizes tons of free events for you to enjoy your time on campus as well. I really appreciate the effort AUC puts into the well-being of its students.
If you are hesitating to come to Egypt - really don't! It is a beautiful country, with extremely friendly people, crazy adventures and stunning destinations. You will never get bored, trust me. Do try to get out of campus and Cairo in your leisure time and enjoy the variety that Egypt has to offer.
I am having an amazing time here and would come back in a heartbeat!

I have been here in AUC for three months now , and the least I can say is that I am loving it. The campus has a unique and beautiful architecture. It is safe, and the whole neighborhood is quite and clean. The AUC community is inclusive, diverse and welcoming. AUC workers are helpful and professional, and actually super nice. One thing that I admire is the vivid life here. A lot of new opportunities, clubs, workshops, competitions, concerts and you name it. Everyday, I get to meet new people and learn new things. I honestly feel the progress I have been making.
Thank you AUC.

Studying abroad at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, is a fantastic option. The institution offers high-quality education programmes taught by experts in a dynamic environment. The International Office's assistance is beneficial to prospective students, as it prepares them for a seamless transition into the institution and Cairo in general. As an online student, I find that AUC's programmes have seamlessly adapted to online learning, allowing for close interaction for both academic and co-curricular activities.

At AUC, it provided me with many great experiences that helped me to know myself better. The university has many things that it can offer; the courses and general student service are beneficial. I enjoy exploring the campus and looking for study spaces. Because I meet a new person every day, living in the AUC dorms has been one of my favorite experiences. There is always something new to do and learn about. You will work in an environment that is varied, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Do not miss the opportunity of coming and enjoying the diverse culture in AUC.
