American University of Afghanistan

1. 1

   The short answer

   The American University of Afghanistan is a public university in Afghanistan, and it suits students who want to study through an institution that has operated as the country’s first private, not-for-profit higher-education provider. It may also suit students who need to follow the university’s current arrangements closely, because its study model and campus plans have changed in recent years.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The available information does not list current subject areas or degree programmes. The university is described as an online private university, and there were plans in 2022 to create a new AUAF campus in Qatar, so applicants should check the current programme catalogue on the official website before applying.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should confirm how the university is admitting students now, since the current campus and delivery model may affect the process. Check the official website for entry requirements, document lists, application deadlines, and whether study is currently online or tied to a specific campus location.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee range; confirm the current tuition and any charges with its admissions office. Costs of living will depend on where you study or live, especially if you are moving abroad or studying from another country.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The university does not publish a language of instruction in the available information, so confirm that directly before applying. If you are moving from abroad, also check where you would study, how classes are delivered, what documents are needed for international applicants, and whether the current setup is online or linked to a campus.

   How it compares

   Afghanistan has 40 universities, so this institution sits within a relatively small national higher-education sector. Its defining feature is not size or a published programme list, but the fact that it has been described as an online private university and that it was the country’s first private, not-for-profit institution of higher education.
