Student Services
TOP REASONS FOR CHOOSING APU
Why APU’s Education Stands Out
The graduate degree programs are taught entirely in English. Our undergraduate curriculum is bilingual, with English-taught and Japanese-taught bachelor’s degrees where our students will learn Japanese while studying their degree in English and vice-versa.
Multicultural Environment
Altogether, the students of our graduate and undergraduate programs represent over 90 countries and regions. Furthermore, 50% of the faculty at APU are international, creating a truly diverse learning environment.
Preparing You for Tomorrow
APU provides globally competitive courses, integrating active learning and specialist knowledge. Internships, exchange programs, field studies, academic competitions, conferences and community outreach programs allow you to take your knowledge out of the classroom and put it into practice to gain real-world experience.
Scholarships
APU awards many of its international students with generous scholarships of 30% to 100% tuition reduction primarily based on academic merit and personal achievements.
For our graduate school applicants, there are also external scholarship opportunities available.
