Building a global network through your APU connections

In my course, students learn about the economic growth of East Asian nations. Using this, I guide my students as they develop their own research themes. As many of APU’s faculty members have extensive experience in international affairs, they conduct unique classes drawing from practical experience. The global network of APU students and faculty is a key strength of this university.

Sangho KIMKoreaCollege of International ManagementProfessor

Providing APU students with universally applicable skills

Thriving in the ever-changing modern world requires not only knowledge, but also the ability to effectively tackle numerous issues. This is why I get students to focus on international issues and strategy, global politics and related matters using practical skills such as game theory.

APS offers a broad range of social science courses to enable students to understand a vast array of global issues and develop new ways of thinking to face these challenges head on. Students can combine study within their majors while gathering advanced skills in language, information technology and research. This provides a basis for a wide variety of careers in government, international organizations, multinational corporations, media and the travel industry.

AReAs of studyThis cluster tackles the question of sustainable development in relation to efforts to balance environmental conservation and economic development. Students also examine the legal systems and policies of the Asia Pacific region.

Contributing to the development of my country

APU is the optimum environment for me as it provides both an immersive international environment and an extensive network. These factors will play a vital role in the realization of my dream to start an international business based in my home country of Nepal. I also chose APU as it offers the opportunity to study Japanese business practices in-country.

A perfect starting place to follow my dream of becoming a professor in Asia

APU is a vibrant community of highly qualified faculty and students from over 80 countries. Rarely does one find a setting like this where people from so many diverse backgrounds interact and influence one another. In addition to my main studies of politics and society, I have also ventured into studying economics. By doing so, I believe I will be able to grasp the multifaceted nature of my major.

AP LAnguAgesAPU also offers language classes for six languages used in the Asia Pacific region. In addition to coursework, interactions with both faculty and classmates from the regions where the languages are spoken enable students to improve speaking skills over a short period of time.

• Chinese

• Korean

• Malay / Indonesian

• Spanish

• Thai

• Vietnamese

Chisako UMEDAJapan Center for Language EducationProfessor

BILInguAL eduCAtIonAPU employs a dual English-Japanese language system in which lectures are offered in both languages. At the time of enrollment, students choose a Japanese-based or an English-based track. Students are then given training in the alternative language at a level matching their individual ability and continue their studies with progressively advanced classes as they improve. Additional support for language study outside the classroom is also available at the Self-Access Learning Center (SALC) and the Writing Center.

If you already have ability in your non chosen language you can take a placement test to enter at the right level of study for you.

LANGUAGE EDUCATiONNurture life skills through language learning

The first year is the most formative when learning a language at APU. As this practical skill can lead to a better life and career for the students, I take a firm but fair approach to teaching. The efforts expended by my students today will become the energy to propel them into the future as the kind of human capital this generation needs.

duAL degRee PRogRAMThe dual degree program allows students to obtain two undergraduate degrees-one from APU and one from a partner university-in as little as four years of study. APU currently operates a dual degree program with the following universities:

• Kyunghee University (Korea)

• St. Edward’s University (United States)

• Salzburg University of Applied Sciences (Austria)

fIeLd studyField studies are held as regular curriculum courses. Under the guidance of APU faculty, students engage in domestic or overseas research with a different theme every year. To date, approximately 1,100 students have taken part in this program. With pre-program training and post-program presentations (follow-up sessions), field studies help students to gain a deeper understanding of their research topic.

study ABRoAdAPU offers its students the opportunity to study abroad for the period of either one year or one semester at an overseas or domestic university with which APU has an exchange agreement.

Learn, utilize, share—APU is the ideal environment to significantly improve your language skills

APU provides countless language learning opportunities. For example, I teach Vietnamese and am taught Japanese in addition to already being fluent in English. By using the languages I know to bring together participants for events, I discovered that my communication and leadership skills vastly improved.

Friendships and memories from AP House will last a lifetime

As a Resident Assistant, my time at AP House is one of my most cherished experiences at APU. Living under the same roof with friends from all over the world allows us to openly share our experiences, including opinions about global issues and future aspirations, on a daily basis. I believe that the friendships born from this interaction will not only play an important role in forging our futures but that of the world as well.

Overcoming challenges and enjoying life in Beppu

I live downtown in an apartment I share with a friend. Living off campus has given me a chance to experience many different facets of life in Japan. On weekends, I enjoy shopping when I am taking a break from studying. When my friends from Botswana came to visit, we traveled around to popular tourist spots in the area. Having to communicate in Japanese with the electricity company and other such institutions is a positive challenge that helps me improve my Japanese communication skills.

Finding joy in helping others with PRENGO

I first heard of PRENGO at an APU information session and made sure to join the club as soon as I enrolled. Providing aid in Thailand, a country with a different socio-economic and cultural framework to Japan, brought up a number of unforeseen issues. However, during our annual visits, I get to see how much the children we support have grown and I feel like I have made a positive influence in their lives. This renews my energy and desire to accomplish more.

Learning to become a global citizen in Japan

Through my part-time work and participation in local events, I have become well versed in Japanese hospitality, social etiquette and community involvement. I have also come to realize how following through on promises and taking one’s responsibilities seriously helps to fuel motivation. It is my belief that this type of attitude is essential in becoming a truly global citizen.

BePPu CItyThe city of Beppu is one of Japan’s most popular tourist destinations. Some of the highlights of living in Beppu include:

• security – One of the safest destinations in the world for studying abroad

• nature – Home to the world’s second largest outflow of hot springs (onsen) and beautiful mountainous terrain along the sea

• Culture – Experience the “real Japan” through festivals, sporting events and exchange activities with the locals to learn about Japanese culture in a fun and interactive way

• Living Costs – Significantly lower cost of living compared to other popular study destinations in parts of Japan and abroad

• Community – Welcoming local residents make it easy for students to feel at home

MuLtICuLtuRAL WeeksEvery semester, multicultural weeks are held to showcase several of the languages and cultures of the student body. During these student-organized events, the community celebrates diversity through traditional and contemporary dances, music, exhibitions and cuisine.

tenkusAI　天空祭The Tenkusai is the University’s annual cultural festival and the highlight of the APU calendar. Each October, students put each others’ countries on show with food stalls, exhibitions, musical performances and cultural shows.

The festival creates a real carnival atmosphere and the campus attracts visitors from a and wide who want to take part in the event.

Bridging the gap between different countries and cultures

At APU, we celebrate multicultural weeks where students get to highlight the arts, traditions and cultures of their home countries and regions. I was in charge of setting up Indonesian Week. It was quite the challenge to coordinate a group of students for a cultural performance as half of the members were from various countries around the world. However, thanks to the effort of all the participants, the event was a great success. No one individual would have been able to achieve this alone. This for me was a first-hand lesson on the importance of intercultural collaboration.

APu gRAduAte sCHooLs

As a student in APU, I took advantage of any and all opportunities presented to me both in class and out. I currently run my own business in Japan. Those experiences and encounters certainly paid off, as they laid the foundation for my career today. The networks I made have also proved an invaluable asset in both my business and private life. My advice to current and future APU students is to make the best of the networks, tools and resources put before them and enjoy their student lives to the maximum.

Business trip to a country I’ve never heard of before? No problem!

Thanks to my APU education, I received a job offer from a trading company. If I were to be sent to a country unknown to me, I would go without hesitation because there is a high chance that I would have a friend from there or there is an APU graduate residing there. I believe that with the network of friends and language skills I have gained at APU, there is nothing to worry about because APU has given me the tools and confidence to challenge the unknown.
