"Being at AUP has widened my scope of possible futures. As a person interested in sign languages and disability rights advocacy, there are not a lot of specific degrees or career titles that will enable me to work with these skill sets."

How to Apply

Our application process is straightforward and includes an application form, personal statement and, in some cases, a supplementary essay. We aim to get to know prospective students as early as possible to select those with the capacities needed to take on roles as mediators, lead in global industries, and contribute unique perspectives to our global community.

Once accepted, students receive a comprehensive orientation package to help them prepare for the move to France, including access to online resources for admitted students. Admitted students can look forward to supporting, collaborating with and challenging their peers, many of whom will go on to occupy high-level positions in global business, communications and politics.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Our graduate programs attract students who wish to be key players in the development, promotion and strengthening of international communities around the world. AUP recognizes the need for such driven global collaborators by offering need- and merit-based scholarships to graduate students, thereby encouraging economic diversity among a student body that is already diverse in terms of perspectives and experiences. Scholarships cover up to 50% of tuition.
