== Campuses ==
AUD is a multi-campus University with planned facilities across the city. AUD presently has three campuses - in [[Kashmiri Gate, Delhi|Kashmere Gate]], Karampura and, Lodhi Road, where 40 undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes are currently on offer.

The Kashmere Gate campus is housed in the erstwhile [[Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University]] campus, along with [[Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women]]. The historical campus originally built for [[Delhi College of Engineering]] also houses the 300-year-old [[Dara Shikoh]] library. It is located close to the [[Delhi Vidhan Sabha]], [[Old Delhi Railway Station]], [[St. James' Church, Delhi]] and [[Red Fort]] and of course Kashmiri Gate (it is the northern gate to the historic walled city of Delhi. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the gate is so named because it used to start a road that led to Kashmir). It is accessible by the red, the yellow and the violet line of Delhi Metro. It is a five-minute walk from the [[Kashmere Gate metro station]].

The School of Education Studies shifted to a new campus located in [[Lodhi Road]] in September 2017. The campus was earlier a Govt. Co-ed Sr. Sec. School. The campus can be accessed through two metro stations namely, [[Jor Bagh metro station]] and [[Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium metro station]].

The Directorate of Higher Education, Government of the NCT of Delhi handed over the old campus of [[Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College]] of University of Delhi in the Karampura area of West Delhi to AUD. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College will move to its new campus in Dwarka.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://aud.ac.in/upload/admissions2016/Admissions%20in%20Karampura%20Campus.pdf/ | title=Admission to Karampura Campus | access-date=2016-05-20 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807133457/http://aud.ac.in/upload/admissions2016/Admissions%20in%20Karampura%20Campus.pdf | archive-date=7 August 2016 | url-status=dead | df=dmy-all }}</ref>
