Welcome to the AUP Department website
The Advanced University Placement program, which is unique to the Middle East, is designed to help students develop the knowledge, study skills and work habits necessary for success at a world-class engineering university. While studying in the AUP program, our learners have the opportunity to earn university credit for courses in mathematics, chemistry and physics. Students who meet the requirements may apply these credits to their Bachelor degree, allowing them to proceed through this program in a shorter time.
All our courses have been specially designed to help our students acquire the language, technological, and analytical skills required to meet the PI’s entrance requirements and assist them in their future studies.
The AUP program is demanding and our students are expected to meet our high standards of excellence. They are expected to become increasingly independent while at the same time developing skills that enable them to work effectively in teams. Our AUP faculty members and staff are highly qualified and experienced, and dedicated to the goal of helping students achieve their full potential.
Students who are committed to becoming engineers and assisting the UAE in its future growth and development will find that the Petroleum Institute offers the most rewarding educational experience.
On behalf of everyone in the AUP Program, I look forward to seeing you at the PI.
Sincerely,
Dr. Graeme Ward,
Director,
AUP Department
