We have tried to keep the application process for student entry to AUR as simple and straightforward as possible. When you click the "Apply Now" button (on the top of every page) you'll be presented with an online form that consists of 6 steps:
- Select the details of the program in which you're interested and the semester/year of your application.
- Enter your personal information and contact details.
- Add details of your current/most recent school and (non-native English speakers only) details of any English tests you have taken (TOEFL/TOIEC/IELTS/DUOLINGO).
- Enter the details of academic or professional referees (this step can be skipped and completed at a later stage).
- Upload your supporting documentation (again, this can be done at a later date). Details of required documentation are listed below.
- Finally, select how you would like to pay your application fee (this is waived for certain individuals). Undergraduate fee: $50/€50. Graduate fee: $80/€60.
That's all there is to it - your first giant step on the road to Rome.
