CAMPUS LIFE
Events introducing cultures from around the world are held almost weekly.

Multicultural Weeks
Multicultural Weeks held throughout the year are one of APU’s most distinctive events. During the Week, students can immerse themselves in all aspects of culture such as music, clothing, sports, dance, and language from various countries or regions. The events are planned and run entirely by students and domestic and international students interact with each other during the event regardless of where they are from. It also plays as an important opportunity for students to network and develop intercultural skills needed in the real life world.
