Who can apply?+
We welcome applications from around the world: first-year and direct-entry undergraduates, and graduates applying for M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes.
How do I apply for an undergraduate programme?+
Register through JAMB with AUST as your first choice, then complete AUST's online screening. If AUST was not your first choice, use the JAMB E-facility 'Application for Correction of Data' service to change your course/institution to AUST.
How do I apply for a Master's or Ph.D.?+
Apply directly through this portal: create an applicant account, complete the six-step application, upload your documents, pay the application fee and submit. You can save your progress and return at any time before the deadline.
What documents do I need?+
Every application needs a degree transcript, a degree certificate and a passport or National ID. Your statement of purpose is written inside the application, and a CV is optional. Documents are checked by the Admissions Office; if one cannot be verified it is marked rejected with a reason, and you can upload a replacement.
How much is the application fee and how do I pay?+
The fee for the current admission cycle is shown in your application and on this page under Key dates. Pay by bank transfer to the AUST Admissions account, quoting your application reference, then enter the payment reference in your application. The Admissions Office confirms your payment before your application is reviewed.
What are the deadlines?+
Each admission cycle has its own opening and closing dates, listed under Key dates on this page. Applications must be submitted before the cycle closes; late applications are carried into the next cycle where possible.
Can I apply to more than one programme?+
Yes. Each application is reviewed separately, and you can track each one in your portal.
How will I know my decision?+
Your applicant portal shows your status at every stage — submitted, under review, interview or waitlist, and the final decision — and you'll receive a notification each time it changes.
