APU places great importance on the system that allows students from different languages and cultures to grow together through collaboration. In language learning and small seminar classes, students can teach and learn from one another under the guidance of senior students known as "Peer Leaders."
For students, "Peer Leaders" are a dependable presence who offer personalized support in both their academic journey and university life. As they guide their junior peers, Peer Leaders acquire various skills such as leadership, communication, and planning abilities that will be valuable in their post-graduation professional lives.
At APU, first-year students are offered courses such as the "Student Success Workshop (SSW)" and the "Multicultural Cooperative Workshop (MCW) " to help them acquire the essential knowledge and skills needed for their academic studies. Additionally, the "Foundation of Global Leadership (FGL)" course is designed to teach leadership models and equip students to excel as leaders in international settings. In these courses, senior students who have been selected as TAs (Teaching Assistants) assist with lectures and exercises. The TAs provide detailed support for students in their studies by facilitating workshops and group work, assisting with research, and offering advice and feedback on report writing and presentations. They also support students in various aspects of university life, including offering guidance on personal matters.
