Per AUA policy, all qualified Armenian citizens can study at AUA regardless of their ability to pay. Decisions on admissions are made independent of the applicant’s ability to pay. Our University offers scholarships and need-based tuition assistance to help you pursue your education at AUA. English classes and preparatory courses for the required entrance exams are available to help you meet our standards for admission.

AUA practices holistic admissions. What this means is that admission is determined by the whole candidate rather than solely by GPAs and test scores. AUA will also look at your employment background, life experience, community service participation, high school achievements, hobbies, and more.

We encourage candidates to review our website for detailed information regarding both our undergraduate and graduate programs. Please email us at admission@aua.am or call +374 10 32 40 40 with any questions you may have.
