AU also has a well-deserved reputation as a global unviersity, with over 1,000 international students from 140 countries, many award-winning faculty members engaged in international scholarship and reserach, and a curriculum notable for its wide array of courses with international themes.

▪特に政治学や国際関係学に興味のある人にとってはうってつけの場所。学校の授業でも教授がニュースについて問うてくることも多い。今まで以上に世界で起きていることに敏感になり、他の学生もよく意見を言うので本当に刺激的。 |
