Paris as Classroom

Paris is an international city. At AUP, you’ll be exposed to a wide variety of experiences and perspectives in a cosmopolitan capital of business and culture. Paris is also a city of opportunity: it’s home to global companies, renowned museums and international organizations. You’ll engage in personal and professional development as part of daily life. 

AUP emphasizes engaged scholarship, encouraging you to apply your studies in class to the changing world around you. Art historians find art and architecture out on the street as much as in museums. Communications majors volunteer with social justice organizations, engaging directly with Parisian communities. Management students take internships at multinational companies as much as with innovative startups. No matter your major, you’ll develop a personal pathway through higher education that makes the most of the varied perspectives and unique experiences on offer in the City of Light. 

Working in such a vibrant city means you’ll find an internship tailored to you. 

Our campus is in the 7th arrondissement, right in the center of Paris, offering student easy access to all the benefits Paris has to offer. Our neighborhood is home to world-famous museums like the Musée d'Orsay and Quai Branly Museum, as well as popular landmarks like the Eiffel Tower. Our neighbors include many foreign embassies, and international organizations like UNESCO. We're also neighbors with the French National Assembly, one of the legislative chambers of the French government, as well as several French Ministry buildings including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education.
