APRU 9TH ANNUAL PRESIDENTS MEETING
APRU 9TH ANNUAL PRESIDENTS MEETING
Student Exchange: an important component of academic exchange between universities from different countries and regions
APRU 9TH ANNUAL PRESIDENTS MEETING
3 Forms of Student Exchange:
• Joint Degree Program: joint tutoring of graduate students (ZU with Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) • Exchange with Credits: taking courses at the host university (ZU with Duke University, Tufts University, NUS, etc. )
• Short-term Exchange: 4 – 8 weeks, with lectures, seminars, cultural tours, visits to business companies, internships, sports, contests and competitions of various kinds, etc.
APRU 9TH ANNUAL PRESIDENTS MEETING
As exchange with credits involves mutual recognition of qualifications and credit transfer, its operation requires certain conditions. Therefore what is proposed here is short-term student exchange between APRU member universities as a first step, which can promote substantial cooperation between the members and lead to future joint degree programs or credit programs .
