Are you a student seeking to study abroad for a semester or a year in Cairo, one of the most vibrant cities in the Middle East? AUC is your ideal destination!
The American University in Cairo (AUC) is a state-of-the-art, US-accredited, English-language University. Established 100 years ago, AUC is one of the oldest liberal arts institutions in the region. Located in the heart of the Middle East, AUC is an ideal place to explore your academic interests while you become immersed in a new culture.
Select courses from across our 39 undergraduate or 52 graduate programs and add optional Arabic language classes into your schedule. Since all AUC courses are taught in English, you will be fully integrated on our main campus, sitting in class with local students.
Focus exclusively on Arabic acquisition in this standalone program designed for international students that includes a full course-load of language classes on AUC’s Tahrir Square campus at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level.
If you attend an AUC partner university, you must also first be nominated by your home university advisor.

Discover the stories, achievements, and experiences of incoming study abroad students at AUC.
Everyone at AUC is extremely welcoming and open to sharing experiences…I’ve already met a lot of cool people who I can happily call friends. They’ve given me quite an authentic Egyptian experience that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. The experience outside of the classroom is unforgettable…I wish I had more time.
