BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTING
APU’s interactive style of education creates daily opportunities for lively discussions and group work with students of different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds in a variety of classroom settings. From field studies, exchange programs, conferences, and academic competitions, to community outreach and internships, get involved in the vast range of opportunities that await you at APU.

BECOME MULTILINGUAL
Knowing more than one language is not a goal for our students—it’s a requirement. Studying your degree in English means you will also be required to learn Japanese and vice-versa. Want to add another language to your repertoire? APU offers additional language courses in the Asia Pacific languages of Chinese, Korean, Malay/Indonesian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese. Acquire another language and you will have a significant advantage in your future career whether it is based in your home country, Japan, or another location.

ENGAGE WITH DEDICATED FACULTY
Highly qualified faculty from twenty-three countries, many of whom have real-world experience, bring a new dimension of practical learning to the classroom. Learn about the latest issues affecting your world from esteemed practitioners who have honed their skills at the cutting edge of innovation over decades.
