A robust internship programme supports career development, and each year AUS students secure positions in leading regional and global organisations. At the end of their internship, many are employed by the organisation where they have interned, which include PWC, L'Oréal, Proctor & Gamble, Schlumberger, the United Nations and KPMG, to name just a few. AUS is proud of its partnerships with businesses, non-profit organisations, and governmental and non-governmental entities. These partnerships provide exceptional opportunities for students in the UAE and globally.
AUS students have the opportunity to work on real-world projects across a variety of sectors. While studying at the university, students can contribute to meaningful initiatives that not only provide knowledge specific to their chosen field of study, but also focus on the development of the ability to communicate clearly, think critically and solve problems creatively. AUS students and alumni continue to be recognised through international award programs for their work. Recently, recent graduates Nada Aldash and Maryam Moustafa were named UAE national winners of the prestigious James Dyson Award for a discreet smart ring that enables visually-impaired individuals to experience colour.
An AUS education, which provides in-depth study in areas of specialisation and a liberal arts core that encourages intellectual discovery, equips students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to succeed today and adapt to new circumstances in the future. AUS graduates occupy leading positions in business, science, government and the arts, contributing to their sectors and the wider community.
The university has also helped launch the careers of many successful entrepreneurs; the university is home to Sheraa, an entrepreneurship centre that has helped launch 72 graduate start-ups, from businesses offering fully electric motorbikes to wealth management platforms for migrants. An AUS degree is also an excellent foundation for entry into graduate programmes across the world, with alumni pursuing master's and PhD programs at AUS and prestigious institutions which include Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Harvard and many others.

Being a student at AUS has been such a surreal experience. I've met people from diverse cultures, received student employment opportunities, developed my leadership skills, explored different interests with the many clubs, events and facilities on campus, and so much more. AUS really helps you become the best version of yourself, not just academically but in many other aspects, too.
