With a 50-50 student body of Japanese and international students, APU has adopted a dual enrollment system that allows students to enroll in either the spring or fall. This system was introduced to accommodate for international academic calendars. On April 1, 2013, APU welcomed 993 new students at the “Spring 2013 Entrance Ceremony” held at the B-Con Plaza Convention Hall, Beppu City.

In order to ensure that parents and well-wishers around the world that could not attend the ceremony were able to enjoy the event, the ceremony was streamed live on the internet via Ustream. In addition to this world-wide audience, current students also attended the celebrations and delivered a range of performances to welcome our new students including traditional Indonesian dance, Korean folk music, and the Wadaiko traditional Japanese drum.

The event was a day of celebration to mark the beginning of our new students’ lives in Beppu and, for many, in Japan.
The many warm words of celebration and support from family, friends and well-wishers ensured that the day was a fitting start to our new students’ campus lives.
