Course Overview

The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (B.A.I.S.) degree empowers students to critically evaluate international affairs from an interdisciplinary perspective while preparing them for professional careers or further graduate study. BAIS students learn to engage the world around them through a challenging course of study that blends history, political science, economics, anthropology, and sociology. They specialize in International Relations, International Development, or Middle Eastern Studies. 

BAIS Graduates are found in government service, international organizations, the private sector, and graduate schools in Europe and North America. This degree is particularly designed for students with a passion to solve complex social, economic, political, and environmental problems and create positive change in their communities and the world. At AUD we capitalize on Dubai’s international nature to inspire students to gain a deep understanding of the dynamics and forces shaping our globalizing world.
