Admission at a glance

Addis Ababa University admits foreign nationals to undergraduate and graduate programmes after their credentials are evaluated for equivalence by Ethiopia's Education and Training Authority. International applicants also provide two copies of their educational documents, two passport photographs and a letter from Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or their embassy, and pay an application fee of USD 40 for undergraduate or USD 150 for graduate programmes.
