The American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland (AUS) is a private university. It operates independently and is not funded by the Swiss government or any public entity. AUS focuses on providing specialized programs in business, technology, and health sciences, catering primarily to international students.
As a private institution, AUS relies on tuition fees and private investments rather than state funding. This allows it to maintain a flexible curriculum and smaller class sizes. However, it is accredited and recognized under Swiss educational standards, ensuring the quality and validity of its degrees.
