What is the APRU Undergraduate Summer Program?

This program is an initiative aimed at enhancing student involvement and mobility among member universities. It is a short-term and integrated study-abroad program based on themes which are unique to the host economy and serves to enhance the education experience of students from APRU member universities.

In 2009, National University of Singapore will host the 4th APRU Undergraduate Summer Program, centred on the theme Rising to the Challenge – Global Leadership in the 21st Century.  The Program will run for a period of two weeks, 13-24 July.  See  http://www.nus.edu.sg/iro/apru/ for a full outline of the Program.

Who will ANU be sending?

ANU will nominate up to two undergraduate students for the Program.

As NUS is an IARU partner university, the nominated students will be eligible to receive an ANU-IARU Travel Grant, which will provide reimbursement for return economy airfare to Singapore, up to a maximum of $2,000.

Each participant will be required to pay the program registration fee (US$195) and any other expenses incurred during the Program.
