a W e a l t h o f o P t I o n saPI offers study abroad programs year-round in 18 countries, in 40 cities. Programs can be as long as a full academic

year or as short as two weeks. With a wide variety of courses offered in almost every major discipline and in various

languages of instruction, it is easy for students to find a program that suits their academic interests. While courses

are available in english in many locations, if foreign language acquisition is the primary goal, aPI offers high-quality

language and culture programs for all levels of language learners.

f o c U s o n a c a D e M I c e X c e l l e n c eall aPI students take courses at a partner institution or university based in their host country, rather than at a center

just for aPI students. aPI university and institutional partners are either fully accredited foreign universities or institutes

with U.s. schools of record.

c o M M I t M e n t t o e X c e P t I o n a l v a l U eaPI prides itself on the services and features it includes in its program costs so as to minimize out-of-pocket expenses

for students on-site. aPI programs are designed to offer students a complete study abroad experience. the cost of an

aPI program includes more than just tuition and housing. exciting overnight and day excursions, academic and cultural

support and resources, mobile phones, medical and life insurance, as well as social and cultural events are included in

the cost of the program. for most programs, the main out-of-pocket expenses are the cost of the international flight and

daily spending money for travel and meals. additionally, once a student is accepted into an aPI program and quoted a

program price, it will not change. With aPI, a student can accomplish more for less money!

s U P e r I o r s t U D e n t s e r v I c e sstudying abroad is a very exciting process, but also one that leads to many questions. aPI Program Managers and

other U.s.-based staff are knowledgeable and readily available to assist students throughout the pre-departure process

and into their session abroad. once abroad, on-site aPI directors support students through the cultural transition

process, provide academic support and guidance and serve as a source of reference both for everyday questions and

emergencies. Whether the concern relates to academics, housing or daily life abroad, aPI strives to provide students

with as much practical advice and guidance as possible.

a D v I s I n GaPI staff members guide students through the administrative processes of the pre-departure phase of study abroad. students and parents may contact aPI staff as often as they desire with questions about academics, on-site logistics, special needs, visa procedures, etc. aPI staff members, in turn, are frequently in touch with students regarding program updates, essential travel tips and recommendations for having a successful experience abroad.

@ a P I o n l I n e s y s t e Mall applicants have access to the @api online student account. this online system allows students to complete and check the status of their application, download and complete application and post-acceptance forms, and verify that payments have been credited to their account.

o r I e n t a t I o n M a t e r I a l s a n D r e s o U r c e s all aPI students receive orientation materials to help them prepare for their study abroad session. aPI students have access to a unique online service, the aPI toolbox, which includes orientation materials, diagnostic exams, and language reviews. the toolbox includes information on logistical details, cultural differences, what students can expect at their host university, health and safety concerns, travel tips and more. additionally, in certain locations, aPI offers pre-departure orientation sessions for students and parents on the home campus.

11

h o U s I n Ghousing is included in the aPI program fee. Depending on the host city, students may choose from various housing options, including apartments or student dormitories. students can request single rooms on their housing form for an additional cost, although some sites may have guaranteed single rooms as part of the program fee.

a $250 security deposit is due by the final payment deadline for all programs. a fee of $75 will be retained from all security deposits to cover standard cleaning fees and general maintenance fees, including minor repairs and standard touch-up painting. the remaining $175 is refundable provided that: 1) no additional fees are assessed on-site for incidentals, damages or excessive utility usage; and 2) the aPI program fee has been paid in full. housing for all year students during the period between the fall and spring semesters is not included in the aPI program fee. Most students take advantage of this time to return home to the U.s. or to travel around their host country. In most cases, aPI can arrange between-term housing for students in their host city for an additional fee. refer to the city information sections for more specific housing information by location.

from lonelyplanet.com...“no other city in china can match the extraordinary historical panorama on display in Beijing. at its heart is the magnificent forbidden city, a royal palace on a scale that beggars belief. Beijing is also home to sublime temples that aspire to cosmological perfection, while the city centre is crisscrossed by the enchanting hútòng, ancient alleyways that teem with life, as they did hundreds of years ago. as if that’s not enough, the majestic Great Wall snakes its way across the hills north of town.”

aPI students participate in several excursions per session designed to help familiarize them with areas of china in addition to the host city. the following is a comprehensive listing of all excursions for aPI Beijing programs. all excursions are subject to change. visit the aPI website for the most up-to-date excursions.

f o r B I D D e n c I t y s P R I N g • F A L Lthe “forbidden city” was the seat of government and home to many chinese dynasties, from the Ming to the Qing for nearly 500 years. students will enjoy exploring the massive complex containing over 1000 rooms, temples, and gardens. the forbidden city was declared a World heritage site in 1987, and is listed by Unesco as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

t I a n a n M e n s Q U a r e s P R I N g • F A L Ltiananmen square is the name of a massive public square (the 3rd largest in the world) in the center of Beijing, opposite the tomb of Mao Zedong, the forbidden city, the national Museum, and a number of chinese government buildings. It has seen many important public events over the years (most recently known for protests in 1989). chinese today prefer to focus on the square as a symbol of unity and a gathering place for locals and tourists alike.

t h e G r e a t W a l l s P R I N g • F A L Lthe Great Wall of china is a series of fortifications and walls that stretch for over 5,000 miles. the wall was built to keep out invading groups from the north and west, including the Mongols (to varying degrees of success). aPI students will tour restored and rustic areas of the wall and get a glimpse of and appreciation for the magnificent feat of engineering of this ancient marvel.

s h a n G h a I s P R I N g • F A L Lsituated on the estuary of the yangtze river, shanghai serves as the most influential economic, financial, cultural, and technological center in east china. In addition to its modernization, shanghai’s multicultural flair endows the city with a unique glamor. here one finds the perfect blend of cultures; the modern and the traditional, the western and eastern. students will enjoy touring the modern Pudong district with its skyscrapers, the fashionable Bund district, the french concession, and the nearby water villages of suzhou and Zhouzhaung.

X I ’ a n ` F A L Lthe capital of shaanxi province, Xi’an is best known as home to the terracotta army of emperor Qin shi huang, and as the eastern terminus of the famous silk road. students will enjoy walking the well-preserved ancient city walls, and visiting the many local temples and hot springs. While Xi’an has a proud historical tradition, it is modernizing along with the rest of china, becoming a key cultural and economic center for the country. the city hosts numerous research and development, national security, and space exploration agencies and facilities.

y a n G s h o U s P R I N gstudents will enjoy escaping the hustle and bustle of Beijing for the outdoor activities of yangshou, a popular tourist town that is world famous for its beautiful karst landscapes. hiking, rafting, and nature activities will occupy students on this stimulating weekend trip.

exCURsIONs OUTsIDe OF sHANgHAIsemester students will have two overnight excursions. summer students will have one overnight excursion. these may include the following:

B e I j I n G the capital of the People’s republic of china, Beijing has a long and storied history dating back over 3 millennia. It has served as the nerve center of china through several imperial dynasties, the republican era, and the founding of the People’s republic, and it continues to be one of the most important geopolitical centers in the world. home to the chinese central government, ancient temples and palaces such as the forbidden city, old “hutongs “(old neighborhoods gentrified into shopping and dining hotspots), and a gateway city to the Great Wall, there is never a shortage of cultural activities to enjoy. Beijing is also an intellectual capital of china, hosting dozens of the countries top universities and research centers.

h a n G Z h o Uhangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province and the largest city of eastern china, with a registered population of 8.7 million people. hangzhou was founded during the Qin Dynasty as Qiantang county. In aD 589, the city was renamed “hangzhou”, literally meaning “river-ferrying Prefecture”, and a city wall was constructed two years later. It is listed as one of the seven ancient capitals of china.

a core city of the yangtze river Delta, hangzhou is located on the hangzhou Bay, 180 kilometers southwest of shanghai that gives it economic power. It has been one of the most renowned and prosperous cities of china for over 1,000 years, due in part to its beautiful natural scenery. one of hangzhou’s most popular sights is the West lake, a Unesco World heritage site. adjacent to the lake is a scenic area where one can observe historical pagodas, cultural sites, as well as the natural beauty of the lake and hills.

n a n j I n G nanjing is the capital of jiangsu province and has a prominent place in chinese history and culture, having been the capital of china on several occasions. nanjing has long been a national center of education, research, transport networks, and tourism. With an urban population of over six million, nanjing is the second-largest commercial center in the east china region after shanghai.

as one of the four ancient capitals of china, nanjing has always been a cultural center attracting intellectuals from all over the country. In the tang and song dynasties, nanjing was a place where poets gathered and composed poems reminiscent of its luxurious past; during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the city was the official imperial examination center for the jiangnan region, again acting as a hub where different thoughts and opinions converged and thrived. today, with a long cultural tradition and strong support from local educational institutions nanjing is commonly viewed as a “city of culture” and one of the most pleasant cities to live in china.

students will visit the ancient city wall, the mausoleum of Dr. sun yat-sen, and the jiming old temple.

s h a o X I n Glocated on the south bank of the Qiantang river estuary and built in B.c. 490, shaoxing’s waterside landscapes and legacies associated with famous people make it a unique tourism city of china. from social reformers like lu Xun to wistful poets sipping shaoxing’s famed yellow rice wine on the banks of lazy streams as they composed lyrical dances, shaoxing’s history is that of china’s cultural heritage founded 2,500 years ago. shaoxing is described as “a museum without walls.”

aPI students at Qatar University (QU) choose from a range of undergraduate classes open to international and Qatari students. Due to a recent decree by the Qatari supreme education council, a majority of programs are now taught in arabic. for students to participate in these programs, they must be fluent/native arabic speakers*. there are, however, still several subjects offering instruction in english (listed on the following page).

COURse INFORMATIONcourses are arranged in the seminar and lecture style. Most courses at QU are equivalent to 3 U.s. semester credits. students take 4-5 courses and receive 12-15 credit hours per semester.

not all courses are offered every semester or every year. the course selection may vary, and no course is guaranteed. some courses may have prerequisites, and some courses may require minimal additional fees for labs, equipment, etc. Instruction is conducted separately for male and female students, and some courses and/or disciplines may not be open to both sexes.

registration takes place upon arrival; however, we recommend that (after consulting the aPI website for course listings), students have 10 courses approved by their home university prior to departure, in order to allow for scheduling conflicts and the possible unavailability of certain classes. there is an add/drop period at the beginning of the semester at QU.


ACADeMIC CALeNDAR AND FALL PROgRAM the academic calendar in Qatar is slightly different from that of most U.s. universities. the fall semester at Qatar University starts later than the average fall semester in the United states, and as such, the fall semester does not end until mid-to-late january. classes are held during the month of january, followed by final exams.

aPI students participate in four excursions per session designed to help familiarize them with areas of the region outside of the host city. the following is a comprehensive listing of all excursions for aPI Doha programs. locations will vary per term. all excursions are subject to change. visit the aPI website for the most up-to-date excursions.

a B U D h a B I , U a e INTeRNATIONAL exCURsION abu Dhabi is the capital and largest of the United arab emirates. It is a place of enormous wealth thanks to its oil reserves, but it is also a region with an eye towards sustainable economic and environmental development. students may visit the most expensive hotel ever constructed in the world, walk along the seaside corniche, or tour saadiyat Island (home to international museums such as the louvre, Guggenheim, and others) and yas Island (home to a world-class racetrack, yacht club, and ferrarri World). the sheikh Zayed Mosque is one of the most breathtaking in the region, and cannot be missed!

a l k h o r , Z U B a r a f o r t on this day trip, students will venture out of Qatar’s capital and travel to Qatar’s second city, al khor. historically a fishing village, al khor is home to a great deal of Qatar’s oil and gas industry, but still retains traces of its seafaring heritage. students will visit a local fish market and the oldest mosque in Qatar (400+ years) on a picturesque beach. the day will continue with a visit to a camel and falcon farm, where students may have the opportunity to visit these iconic Middle eastern creatures. from there, the journey concludes at Zubara fort and archaeological site. the fort itself played a key role in a conflict against Bahrain in the early 20th century, and nearby rests the remains of Qatar’s original capital, Zubara, which is currently being excavated.

B e a c h D a y this excursion gives students the chance to relax, unwind, and enjoy the warm arab Gulf waters off the coast of Doha. students will take a Dhow ride to a private island, where they will enjoy swimming, water sports, and an arab barbecue!

D e s e r t c a M P I n G s a f a r I Going on a desert safari is an excursion that cannot be missed - a virtual rite of passage in the Gulf culture. riding across the sands and dunes of Qatar toward the saudi border, students will get a sense of the grandeur of the desert landscape. the group will experience amazing food, splash in the waters of the arabian Gulf, and perhaps even ride a camel!

D U B a I / s h a r j a h , U a e INTeRNATIONAL exCURsION the 2nd largest emirate, Dubai, shatters the stereotypes of eastern and Western cultures while simultaneously and relatively seamlessly mixing them together. the pace of development in Dubai is breathtaking, and the urban (and coastal) landscapes are constantly changing. students may have the opportunity to tour some of the opulent malls (and snow ski in one!) as well as the traditional souqs along Dubai creek (such as the Gold souq, the spice souq, and others). Whether riding a traditional abra (boat) across the creek or the new state-of-the-art metro system, students will be able to experience this exciting city in many ways. there is no better way to top off a day in Dubai than to ride the elevator to the 124th floor observation deck of the Burj khalifa (the world’s tallest skyscraper) and see the city spread out below, as well as the Palm jumeirah and the World archipelago island developments.

sharjah provides an interesting contrast to Dubai. this 3rd largest emirate has a more traditional population, and gives the visitor a different perspective of emirati life. sharjah is also home to aPI’s program in the Uae, and Qatar students can meet and interact with aPI’s Uae students and tour the breathtaking aUs campus.

WHAT DO YOU LOve MOsT AbOUT sHARjAH? “sometimes people are surprised when I tell them that I have been

living here for ten years. time flies so fast, and I’m still enjoying living here a lot. there are a number of reasons why this

country has kept me here... it’s safe, diverse (both people and cities), and it’s a great hub for exploring the region.”

CReDIT INFORMATIONaUs awards credit in similar fashion to most U.s. universities. students generally take 4-5 classes in order to receive 12-15 credit hours per semester. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they are enrolled in the required amount of semester credits to meet requirements of the home university. In all departments, entrance to specific courses is subject to the approval of aUs and the completion of certain prerequisites.

COURse INFORMATIONon the aPI website students can find more information about available courses. students can also determine if there are any lab fees and/or prerequisites. students should make course selections from these online listings when getting courses pre-approved on their home campus before going abroad. registration does not take place until arrival, and course changes can be made during the add/drop period.

not all courses are offered every semester or every year. the course selection may vary, and no course is guaranteed. some courses may have prerequisites, and some courses may require minimal additional fees for labs, equipment, etc. the campus is fully integrated, with male and female students attending the same courses with the same professors (though housing is separated by gender).

D o h a , Q a t a r INTeRNATIONAL exCURsION Doha is one of the cleanest, safest, and most rapidly developing cities in the Gulf region, if not the world! students will have the opportunity to tour the dazzling souq Waqif (ancient market that has been restored and is frequented by locals and tourists alike), walk along the sparkling corniche (seaside promenade), and visit the Museum of Islamic art (designed by I.M. Pei, architect of the louvre pyramids in Paris). students may tour the Qatar University campus and meet aPI Qatar students, as well as visit the aspire sports Zone – a training and sports facility that hosted the 2006 asian Games and is set to host the 2022 World cup. Doha has one of the most unique and impressive skylines that beckon visitors to return again and again!

D U B a I the 2nd largest emirate, Dubai, shatters the stereotypes of eastern and Western cultures while simultaneously and relatively seamlessly mixing them together. the pace of development in Dubai is breathtaking, and the urban (and coastal) landscapes are constantly changing. students may have the opportunity to tour some of the opulent malls (and snow ski in one!) as well as the traditional souqs along Dubai creek (such as the Gold souq, the spice souq, and others).

o M a n INTeRNATIONAL exCURsION seMester the sultanate of oman is located on the southeastern corner of the arabian peninsula, bordering the Uae and saudi arabia. oman is known for its natural beauty, resting on the Indian ocean and serving as the gateway of the arabian (Persian) Gulf. oman is also known for its popular tourist attractions. Wadis (valleys), deserts, beaches and mountains are areas which make oman unique among its neighbors. With a coastline of 1700 km, oman offers some of the cleanest, most stunning beaches a visitor could hope to see!
