I was recommended about this school by my brother and I have also joined the “study abroad in Japan” seminar at CJCC to get more information. As for the preparation process, I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it wasn’t that complicated because I followed every instruction and got support from my seniors, which was very helpful. There are 3 steps in order to get into APU. Firstly, filling out an application form, which can be found on the university’s website. Secondly, after the application form has been reviewed and accepted, students will move to the interview stage where many essential questions will be asked.
