Shortlist a few and we'll compare them side by side and assess each one.

American University of Sharjah is an independent private institution of higher education founded in 1997 on the American model. Located in Sharjah, AUS ranks among the top three universities in the UAE according to QS rankings and demonstrates consistent global improvement. The university is distinguished by its exceptionally multicultural composition: students and faculty represent over 100 nations worldwide, making the campus one of the most international in the world.

AUS's academic foundation spans four colleges: Architecture, Art and Design; Arts and Sciences; Engineering; and Business Administration. The university offers 28 undergraduate majors, 45 minors, and master's and doctoral programs. In QS, AUS ranks first in the UAE for employer reputation and in the top three for graduate employment outcomes. The faculty comprises specialists from over 50 countries, providing students with access to diverse perspectives and deep expertise in their fields.

For international students from Russia and beyond, AUS offers a welcoming environment: the admissions committee reviews applications competitively based on academic achievement, TOEFL (minimum 80 iBT/550 ITP) or IELTS scores (6.5 minimum), and subject-specific requirements for the chosen major. The university assists with UAE student visa processing. Scholarships are available for high-achieving applicants, including the President's Scholarship for undergraduates covering full tuition, housing, and monthly stipend. Campus facilities include modern academic buildings and residential halls, with student life centred on clubs, sports teams and cultural events.

01

Profile review and strategy

We study your academic profile, goals and budget, assess your real chances, and shortlist universities and grants for your specific situation.

02

Document preparation

We help with translation, notarization, your motivation letter, CV and recommendations β€” tailored to each university's requirements.

Visa, move and your first weeks

We arrange your visa, insurance and medical exam, help with housing and transfer, and stay in touch after you arrive.

What admission to this university costs

Our published prices are for China, where the process is worked out to the detail and the price is fixed. Everywhere else the amount of work varies case by case, so we quote after we have understood your situation. Inventing a figure before that would not be honest.

Common questions about admission

Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?

UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities β€” not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.

Do you guarantee admission?

We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection β€” matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy, and preparing documents carefully. Any refund or re-application arrangement is governed only by the current service agreement and the circumstances of the case.

What are my actual chances of getting in?

We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.

Can I apply on my own β€” why do I need you?

You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
