Master's: How to Apply

In a few easy steps, you can submit your application to AUS by creating an account on apply.aus.edu. 

Once you have registered, you will receive an email to verify and activate your account. Please make sure to also check your spam folder in case the email does not appear in your inbox. Once your account has been activated, you can log in to apply.aus.edu and navigate to the Apply Online tab to start your application.

For your application to be considered and enter the review cycle, the minimum required documents are as follows:

• official university transcript(s) for your bachelor’s degree*
• official bachelor's degree graduation certificate (if available at the time of applying)*
• letter from the university registrar confirming your graduation date (if you have not graduated yet). This letter does not replace the required attested graduation certificate, which must be presented, once available, to register for courses.
• updated CV
• colored passport scan
• colored Emirates ID (for UAE nationals and residents)
• reference/recommendation letters submitted through apply.aus.edu. At least two of the reference letters must be from an academic advisor or faculty member familiar with your background. The referee's official organization email address should be used; reference letters received from non-official emails or applicants’ emails will not be considered. The reference letters submitted to the programs can also be considered for the assistantship application.

If you are applying to any of these three programs, you must prepare a Statement of Purpose (600-800 words) describing your motivations in applying to the program, the experiences and perspectives you feel make you a strong candidate for admission, and what you hope to gain from your studies with us.
