Work Study Program

Transitioning successfully from the academic to the professional world is easier with professional work experience. To assist students in gaining valuable professional experience, the American University of Afghanistan has a Work Study Program. The Program provides students with opportunities to work at the University while pursuing their studies.

Students interested in working at the University apply for general employment and are assigned to departments within the University according to their skills and areas of need identified by faculty and staff. This system ensures that students are placed where they will learn the most and make the greatest contribution to the functioning of the University. As students gain experience and seniority, they can request specific positions.

Students enrolled in the Work Study program are supervised by highly qualified and experienced faculty and staff. Students gain not only professional skills and experience, but also the ability to work successfully in an intercultural, international atmosphere. Students may apply to the Work Study Programat contact the Office of Student Affairs and at careerservices@auaf.edu.af.
