Every year, through our partnership with the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC), we provide opportunities for dozens of top students at APU International School to earn transferable university credits in courses taught by our core faculty in fields like history, English composition, creative writing, psychology, and mathematics. This is a popular program that allows students to earn unlimited university credits from a highly respected American university before they finish high school, thus accelerating their path to college graduation. 

We provide a multitude of opportunities for our faculty and staff to attend seminars, classes, and conferences to help expand their skillsets and advance their career goals. We also sponsor campus visits by experts in academic and nonacademic fields. We encourage faculty and students to interact with these experts through seminars, small group workshops, question and answer sessions, and classroom visits.   

AUV’s Center for Student Success supports the academic and social needs of students throughout their university experience. Academic advisors, peers, and university faculty work hand-in-hand to ensure the well-being of every student at AUV. This is a vital component of our holistic approach to education. Student activities, field trips, and accommodation for needs of our students outside of the classroom all fall under the purview of the Center for Student Success.   

Through agreements with our partner universities in the US, we are able to provide opportunities for AUV students to study abroad, and we are able to provide opportunities for students at partner universities to study at AUV. These cultural exchanges allow all students to expand their knowledge of the world’s cultures, societies, and business practices. Depending on the preferences and time constraints of individual students, study abroad experiences can be short (1-2 weeks) or of longer duration (1-2 semesters).  

The Writing Studio is an integral part of student life at the American University in Vietnam. Located in Room 201, the Writing Center accepts both scheduled and walk-in appointments from students wanting help with any writing or research related issue. Writing centers are common at every major American university, and as AUV is an American university we think it is important for students at AUV to have access to the same resources you would have if you were in the USA. The Writing Center offers three types of services: writing services, research services, and a Writing Center website.
