The AU Summer Institute Advantage for University Students: Students completing Institute course work find themselves better prepared for careers with nongovernmental and governmental organizations addressing human rights and humanitarian problems. At the same time, students will be better able to contribute successfully to a wide-range of jobs valuing such skills as: persuasive writing and speaking; effective fact-finding techniques, and policy creation, analysis, implementation and evaluation.

The AU Summer Institute Advantage for Practitioners: Short classes suit practitioners' needs for efficiency and efficacy. Practitioners enroll to study only the specific skills they need. Employers are more likely to reimburse tuition in such directed programs.
