Incoming

The graduate internship program is designed to provide graduate students and recent graduates the opportunity to gain essential experiences in related to Higher Education, in addition to gaining exposure to AUK’s student culture. Through the program, interns will acquire specific skill sets which will help prepare them for a career in the profession. The selected intern will work primarily with the area unit leadership but will also have the opportunity to work with other professional staff across the institution. 

Interns will be expected to work 40 hours a week between a primary placement or 30 hours per week, and a secondary placement or 10 hours per week, and may receive academic credit if agreed upon between the supervisor and the intern’s college or university. 

Placements will run in duration for 7-8 weeks from early June through late July or early August depending on agreeable terms and scheduling needs. Start and end dates may be flexible.

To apply, please email studyabroad@auk.edu.kw

Incoming exchange students are welcome to enroll in AUK from one of our higher education exchange partners.

“I am grateful to be embraced and welcomed by the AUK community, and have loved experiencing the people, food, and stunning visual culture of Kuwait.”

      “My experience at AUK has been tremendously different in a way where I noticed how other universities outside the states have a very unique organization culture. This helps me grow and better understand what I want to do in the future, of course, with the support of the amazing students, faculty, and staff I have encountered.”
– Dima Abass, Graduate Intern form Suny University at Buffalo (Summer 2022)
