Applications Open for the APRU Virtual Student Exchange Program Season 1, 2021-2022

Even with COVID-19, the Exchange Program is still boundaryless! 

Although the global Covid-19 pandemic situation may have shown some signs of improvement, border closures and travel restrictions are still being implemented in a large number of countries.  To provide exchange students with alternatives, Chulalongkorn University, in cooperation with universities from the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) network, is offering the “APRU Virtual Student Exchange Program” to APRU undergraduate students around the world.

The program aims to provide students with the opportunity to learn and engage with peers, academics and experts from other countries through a digital platform. Students can take academic courses and earn credits from other universities without having to pay additional tuition fees, except for the regular tuition fees to the home university.
