Biatris’s participation in this program highlights AUK’s commitment to fostering academic excellence, intercultural understanding, and global engagement among its students.
Biatris, who has a strong passion for fashion and luxury communication, is using this opportunity to explore the intersections of media, culture, and global branding within one of the world’s most influential fashion capitals. Immersed in a vibrant academic environment, she is gaining hands-on experience in courses that complement her studies at AUK, while connecting with peers and professors from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Reflecting on her experience so far, Biatris expressed her excitement about studying abroad, sharing that the exchange program has broadened her perspectives on communication and culture, and allowed her to experience the dynamic academic life at Sciences Po. She emphasized that this opportunity has not only strengthened her academic and professional aspirations but also deepened her appreciation for cultural diversity and global collaboration.
The AUK–Sciences Po exchange program, coordinated by AUK’s Office of International Student Programs, aims to expand student mobility and international partnerships. Through such collaborations, AUK students are encouraged to study, research, and engage in cultural dialogue beyond Kuwait, embodying the university’s mission to produce well-rounded, globally minded graduates who are equipped to thrive in an interconnected world.
AUK continues to support its students in pursuing transformative international experiences that foster academic growth, leadership, and personal development. By participating in study abroad and exchange programs, students return to Kuwait as global citizens, bringing with them innovative ideas, cross-cultural understanding, and an enriched worldview that enhances the AUK community and contributes to the university’s growing international presence.
