Global Partnerships
We are a world-class university with a strong international community and reputation. Working together with our world wide university partners, we’re carrying out research to help tackle global challenges.
Our motto ‘From Asia Pacific University’, is to make a difference in growth towards:
- World and regional complex problem solving
- Strengthening research excellence among the community of students, academic colleagues and alumni
At Asia Pacific University, we work to foster collective citizenship. This is based on global awareness and egalitarian respect for diversity. Our teaching, learning, research and engagement have global reach embedded at their core.

Worldwide presence
We collaborate with exceptional partner institutions around the world to deliver globally impactful research and education.

A global experience
We enable our students and staff to gain a global experience through student exchanges, work experience and language resources.

Shared understanding
We aim to develop and embed a consistent understanding of and approach to internationalisation across the University.
“We need internationalisation to be threaded throughout the University here and abroad, at all levels, from the activities of our students through to those of staff.”
Our Global Partnerships
Asia Pacific University hosts a strong international community of students from more than 130 different countries. Our staff are also from more than 20 countries, all working towards a global experience, reputation and impact.
None of this would be possible without the world-leading cross-cultural interactions. We work alongside over 2000 university, industry, charity and government partners from across the globe.
These varied and wide-ranging partnerships allows us to deliver:
- Worldwide presence
- A global experience

“We want best practice from our partner universities to inform the work that we do in Malaysia. We want to learn from their excellent teaching and/or research. It’s very much a two-way process.”
