Good news for students interested in experiencing Japan: Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) is offering five seats for Thai students to join its APU World College Experience 2010 to be held in August.
Five selected Thai students will be among 40 APU student ambassadors chosen from eight countries.
They will be given a chance to listen to APU lecturers' speeches, attend a discussion session on the topic of different cultures, seek an opportunity to study Japanese language, and learn about students' ways of life in Beppu City, Oita Province.
On returning to Thailand, they will describe the events and share their experiences with other young people.
Interested students should submit an application form before June 25 to APU Thailand office: 99/14 Soi 84 Petkasem Road, Bangkok 10160 Thailand.
