Aureus University School of Medicine embraces diversity and invites international students to join our campus in Aruba. If you require a visa to travel to Aruba, it’s crucial to start the application process early. Visa processing can take up to three months, so we recommend applying for admission 60-90 days before your intended start date to ensure all documents and visas are processed in time.
