Global Connection Programme
We would like to introduce you to the Global Connection Programme! A programme that offers skill training and the opportunity for International and Dutch students at AUAS to connect.
What is the Global Connection Programme?
The Global Connection Programme is an international extracurricular programme where you get 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 environment. During several specially curated workshops you will grow as a person and a professional, becoming a better communicator and connector. You will learn to thrive in international settings, either abroad or closer to home, such as multicultural classrooms and workplaces.

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
