Campus Tour

The Graduate Program Office in is located in the La Tour-Maubourg building, the main administrative building where many important offices are located. This is where you will find your support team throughout your graduate studies. 

AUP offers graduate students the privilege of their own student lounge located on the 2nd floor of the Combes Student Life Center. This private lounge, accessible to graduate students only, offers you a quiet place to study, relax and meet up with your peers between classes.

Officially opened in March 2019, the Quai d’Orsay Learning Commons is the newest building on campus. The Learning Commons offers ten stories of contemporary, functional space focused on innovative learning and student development. It connects via a glass atrium directly to the Combes Student Life Center where Cultural Program, Health, Student Leadership, Counseling and other important student life offices are located.

The Learning Commons offers in one space all the academic support to help you work productively outside of class time. It houses the AUP Library, with dedicated quiet study spaces and rooms for you to meet your classmates for group projects, and the extensive documentation needed to complete your graduate coursework and research. This is also where you may meet with advisors, faculty or mentors from the Academic Resource Center (ARC) and ACE Writing Lab. No resource is out of reach thanks to interlibrary loans and the access to other Parisian libraries.

The Quai d’Orsay building is also home to AUP’s Career Center and Internship Office where dedicated professionals can counsel, coach and accompany you on your path to an international career. 

As a hub for artistic life on campus, the Montessuy Center brings students and faculty together through creative pursuits in a state-of-the-art facility – complete with AUP’s first theater. Students, alongside Parisians, will find appreciation for AUP’s fine arts culture thanks to this unique space and to the galleries on campus. The Combes Center-Quai D’Orsay complex also offers an art gallery. See the Arts at AUP page for more info.

When you physically visit AUP for the first time, you will most likely start with the La Tour-Maubourg administration building. This building houses all of the University’s administrative functions, as well as the Admissions Office.

Graduate students will have classes in buildings across AUP’s urban campus located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
