■ Message
Message to undergraduate students: APU’s most unique feature is its multicultural environment. However, the extent to which this environment can be put to good use depends on the positive attitude of our students. I encourage you to be curious, ambitious, and develop your ability to adapt to different cultures, a vital skill in a globalised world.
