Application Timeframe and Target Dates
 
 

 

Academic schedules around the world vary, so The American University of Paris accepts applications on a continuous basis throughout the year. Completed applications are reviewed in rounds. Priority for admission and scholarship consideration is given in earlier rounds, so you are encouraged to submit your completed application early. It is also important that non-EU students apply early, accounting for the time it takes to obtain a visa. Completed applications will receive an admission decision within three weeks.
