Outgoing Study Abroad
The American University in Cairo is proud to be part of a longstanding and deep commitment to international education to help students become active leaders and conscientious members of an increasingly global society.
The Office of International Programs and Services (IPSO) administers the announcement, recruitment, and selection of AUC students for exchange opportunities, provided in light of the University agreements with partner universities across the globe. Through this program, we aim to add to the students' academic and professional experience. We also hope to send students who can represent AUC abroad, and bring back valuable experiences to our campus, which will eventually promote the internationalization of AUC.
Our students are driven to explore the world, and AUC’s ambitious study-abroad program makes that happen.

Hear From Our Students
One of the reasons I chose AUC was the opportunity to study abroad. The Office of International Programs and Services made everything possible. And AUC’s partnership with Sciences Po—one of the most prestigious universities in the world for studying the social sciences—was a huge benefit. My experience taught me that I can do everything and be everything that I want to be.
Coming back from Norway, I was recharged by the endless experiences and stories that I went through. Through reflections, conversations and mentorship, I had more clarity about the type of career I want to follow and, more importantly, the means to do so. I also felt excited to get back and share my learnings not only from the courses but from the sustainable lifestyle Norway promotes.
I liked Florida because of its diversity mainly. I got exposed to people from different backgrounds, ethnicities and religions, each with their unique insights, ideas and experiences.
