Courses

AU students directly enroll in AUS for either a semester or for a full year and earn AU credit. AUS offers courses in 21 academic disciplines, all taught in English, giving AU students great flexibility and the chance to take any course of interest. AUS has four schools: Arts and Sciences; Architecture and Design; Business and Management; and Engineering.

You will be assisted by a Faculty Advisor while in Sharjah. Course listings and descriptions can be found at the AUS website. Students are encouraged to take only 300 and 400 level courses.

Please note that AUS does NOT have a strong Arabic language instruction department. Students who are focused on learning/studying Arabic while abroad are encouraged to apply to study with other AU Abroad programs in Egypt, Morocco and Yemen.

Internships

Students may independently arrange their own internships based upon personal contacts. Students must obtain prior approval from their academic advisor to receive major credit for their internship abroad.
