“Every year, we seek ambitious and exceptional students who are looking to create a difference in this world, and we continue to do our best to ensure that financial means do not become a hindrance for them to get the best education they deserve. We are looking forward to meeting prospective students and their parents at these events and helping them plan their future,” said Shuhaimy.

“AUS is among the top 50 universities in the world under 50 years of age, according to QS World University Rankings—a result of the accomplishments of our highly qualified full-time faculty, exceptional students and talented alumni who have risen to positions of prominence in the region and beyond.
