What is the Global Connection Programme?
The Global Connection Programme is an international extracurricular programme which will allow you to meet new people, get to know new cultures, reflect on your own and mostly a programme that allows you to have fun in an international context.

What's life at AUAS like?
"I will miss my studies at the Jakoba Mulderhuis. It was one of the places where I studied most peacefully. I will also miss the friends I met in the courses I attended at CREA. We made great memories together." ~ Melekcan, Aviation exchange student
