My name is Sanduijav Tserendolgor, and I`m from eternal blue-sky country Mongolia. After completing my bachelor degree in International Strategic Studies (CAP-ISS program) in APU, I decided to pursue my graduate studies once again in APU; but this time I enrolled in Development Economics division of International Cooperation Policy program. As Mongolia is one of the rapidly developing countries, yet vulnerable in many ways, I chose this field to obtain necessary knowledge and skills that could become the key for Mongolia`s future prosperity. APU`s environment, comprised of instructors and students from various countries, becomes a platform to exchange insightful ideas and opinions, to promote mutual understanding, and to study different cultures. Through the seminar classes, we focus on more specific issues and come up with deep discussions and solutions, whereas through group work in lecture classes, we can increase our team work and leadership skills. APU is the right place to build basis for your career and shape your future! As APU community is one big family, you also could become part of us and invest in your education. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I am Oliya Maxudova from Tajikistan. Coming from Tajikistan, where education is highly appreciated. I feel proud to be a part of Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. As a product of this university, I have learned to accept the differences and have been able to clear the huddle of culture, border and language. I am thanking to the university, my teachers and friends who have always supported me and help learn materials.
