Doha: American University of Sharjah (AUS) will continue its regional roadshow and student recruitment campaign in Qatar, introducing the university’s accredited programmes, academic excellence and multicultural campus life to prospective students from across the region.
The roadshow began in Kuwait, followed by Qatar until November 8 and ends in Jordan on November 17.
As a good proportion of AUS students come from the various Middle Eastern countries, the roadshow gives interested high school students the opportunity to discover whether they can pursue their studies at AUS, which places special emphasis not only on study but also on personal, social and cultural growth.
Being the main provider of high-quality American style higher education in the Gulf region, AUS accepts only distinguished students who are among the top 20 percent of high school graduates.
AUS Chancellor Dr Peter Heath stated: “In just 15 years, AUS has become the benchmark for quality university education in the Gulf, favoured by students, parents and employers. Students come to AUS to experience true campus life within a regional setting, and for the quality of teaching and learning experiences we provide. Our track record and independent accreditations attest to this. The excellent quality of education offered by AUS and the great student life within a fully self-sustained campus is unmatched in the MENA region.”
AUS, recently named one of the top 500 universities worldwide by QS World University Ranking, is one of the few institutions accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the United Arab Emirates and by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in the United States.
During their Qatar roadshow, AUS representatives will be available at the Concorde Hotel Doha, Al Matar Street, until November 8 to meet parents and prospective applicants from 5pm to 8pm each day. AUS’ bachelor of science programmes in chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering are accredited by ABET, of the United States while the Bachelor of Architecture programme of the College of Architecture, Art and Design is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) of the United States. The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) as well as the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) degrees are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
