AUC's admission requirements

There are certain minimum requirements for admission to AUC. These include:

• a secondary school diploma equivalent to the Dutch VWO
• very good written and spoken English
• good mathematics skills

In addition, the AUC Admissions Committee looks for students with the following characteristics:

• academic excellence: you must demonstrate your ability to meet the academic demands of the AUC programme
• motivation and ambition to study an intensive and broad programme
• commitment to contribute to AUC's international student and campus life

Your grade point average (GPA) will be used as an indicator of academic excellence, and will be taken into consideration alongside your interests and motivation, and letters of endorsement or recommendation from (former) teachers. If you are a highly motivated student but you feel that your academic ability is not accurately reflected in your GPA, you should address this point in your application

Preliminary analysis of the data for the class of 2012 (students admitted in September 2009) indicate that the GPA for this cohort is 3.0 (7.0-7.5 in the Dutch system).
