International Programs

Since its establishment, Asia University has aimed to educate its students to be capable of functioning in a global setting.As such, it has always kept up with the demands of internationalization by arranging academic exchanges with universities in other countries, accepting students from abroad, and setting up various overseas study programs.
 

- Asia University America Program (AUAP)
 
The AUAP is a unique study abroad program which emphasizes learning contemporary English, cross-cultural understanding and self-discovery. As students acquire English through their daily lives they gain an understanding of different cultures and customs, which leads them to reflect on their own culture, another attractive point of the program. Credits earned during the program are applicable to graduation and no leave of absence is required to study abroad. Safety measures are built-in to the program including access to an AUAP- exclusive 24-hour help line that can be used in case of accident or illness. In addition, all participants are covered by injury and damage insurance. Over 10, 000 students have participated in the program over the past twenty years. Many of these students are now successfully employed by their first-choice companies and are utilizing their AUAP experience in building for the future.
