APRU Virtual Student Exchange Programme: Becoming a Global Learner Leadership Series
Upcoming APRU Virtual Student Exchange Co-curricular Program APRU Becoming a Global Learner Leadership Series In partnership with UC Davis, APRU VSE is thrilled to announce the launch of the 4th cohort for the APRU Becoming a Global Learner Leadership Series from January 25 to February 29, 2024! In this free five-session learning series, created by UC Davis in partnership with the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU), a cohort of undergraduate students will explore the concepts of culture, cultural values, identity, and power as well as engage in a deeper reflection on how they and others “make meaning”, evaluate intercultural situations, and deal with conflict. Throughout the synchronous virtual sessions, students will gain global skills and understanding that will help prepare them to be leaders in a global world. Sessions will be facilitated by UC Davis Global Affairs staff and they will be interactive, with discussions, activities, and reflections. Because participation will be limited to a small number of students (30-40) from across the APRU network, students will be able to make connections across the Asia-Pacific region and engage meaningfully with their peers. We welcome a range of majors and backgrounds as these global skills are important regardless of your future career path. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to become a true global learner and leader with other students across the Asia-Pacific region! Join the APRU Becoming a Global Learner Leadership Series and unlock your potential to create a better world. Participants who complete all five sessions receive a Certificate of Completion signed by Prof. Joanna Regulska, Vice Provost and Dean of Global Affairs, UC Davis. Participation is free of charge. Application is now opened and will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis! (Application deadline: November 20, 2023) CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE SIGN UP NOW!

The German academic landscape has changed radically in recent years. Today, universities, research institutes, and industry have a lot to offer: free tuition, scholarships and research funding and a booming job market. However, there are also challenges.

The magazine is free of charge. ZEIT Germany 2023 - Study and Research You may refer to the website to explore more study abroad options.
