Step 3

Fill out the online application system

Use a computer. Open the APU Online Application System, create an account, start your application, and upload your PDF files.

Watch the videos while filling the form: Do not watch once and guess later. Open the video next to the application system and follow it step by step.

Enter carefully

Names, dates, address, school names, and passport information must match your documents.

Upload PDF files

Use clear scans. Anything not originally in English or Japanese should have an official translation.

Check before submit

After payment and final submission, changes are difficult. Review everything before moving to payment.

Next: pay the application fee inside the online system.

Step 4

Make the application fee payment

The application fee for international applicants residing outside Japan is 5,500 JPY. Students in Uzbekistan can usually pay by Visa card.

Before payment: Check your application one last time. Once the application fee is paid and submitted, you usually cannot make changes.

Next: complete the recorded interview before the same application deadline.

Step 5

Take the recorded interview

After submitting the online application, you will be guided to a recorded interview. You will not talk to a live interviewer. Questions appear on screen and your answers are recorded.

Use a computer

Use Windows 10 or later, or macOS X 10.12 or later. You need a working camera and microphone.

Prepare the room

Be alone in a quiet room. Use stable internet. Read all instructions on the screen.

Know what APU checks

APU may evaluate your reason for applying, motivation, critical thinking, and communication.

Interview tip: Keep APU 2030 Vision in mind: freedom, peace, humanity, international mutual understanding, and people who can change the world.
Do not risk rejection: Do not use fake documents, copied essays, or AI-written essays. Do not have another person in the room during the recorded interview.
