Important Notice
The International PBL Program in ASEAN Countries will be discontinued after the 2026 program cycle (applications to be conducted in AY2025).
Therefore, no new internal selections will be made from the Fall Semester of this academic year onward.
While the PBL program itself will come to an end, we are currently discussing its integration into the university-wide student exchange programs in cooperation with our partner institutions. Details regarding the new application process will be announced once the arrangements have been finalized.
Students who are interested in studying in the ASEAN region, particularly in Thailand and Indonesia, are encouraged to consider the student exchange programs that will be announced in the future.
If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us at: ruaims@st.ritsumei.ac.jp.
