| International cooperation: | • Erasmus Exchange - The EU’s Erasmus program has allowed our students to experience the diversity of life and education across the EU. • International University Exchange - Outside the EU, AAU's efforts have historically been focused on the USA and other English-speaking countries but are rapidly expanding to other areas such as Asia • Study Abroad Students - International students from non-partner institutions can apply to AAU as "study abroad students" without being part of a specific exchange program. The EU’s Erasmus program has been an important part of AAU’s push toward internationalization. AAU currently has 26 established Erasmus agreements with European universities. The partnerships allow students and staff to travel abroad for a semester and experience the varying education systems and styles across the EU. Outside the EU, AAU’s efforts have historically focused on the USA and other English-speaking countries, along with exchange partnerships in Asia, an increasingly important economic area where graduates are seeking employment. AAU has 16 established partner universities for students to choose from in locations including but not limited to the USA, Korea, Australia, Malaysia, Canada and Israel.
