NOTE: The following application guidelines are an excerpt.When applying, please refer to the application guidelines on our university website and Document A, and submit your application through the designated system. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー With the term of the current President due to end as of the 31st of December 2026, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (henceforth referred to as “APU”) is issuing a call for applications for candidates for the position of President as outlined in the following guidelines. 1.Overview of APU  APU is a private university founded upon the core principles of “Freedom, Peace, and Humanity,” “International Mutual Understanding,” and “Creating the Future of the Asia Pacific” which, thanks to the support of the local community and cooperation of a broad network of partners both domestic and international, was established in April 2000 in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, Japan. Last year APU celebrates its 25th anniversary, over which time APU has cultivated an unparalleled multicultural and multilingual learning environment dedicated to fostering global citizens. As of the Fall Semester of the 2025 Academic Year, there are 6,597 students from 119 countries and regions including Japan, —of whom international students constitute 49.9%—are studying together in an environment that places students’ learning and growth as the highest priority, overcoming differences in nationality, culture, religion, politics, and values to live together and work toward solving the global challenges facing the world. This learning environment on a multicultural co-learning campus cultivates students’ capacity to generate innovation through diversity and inclusion (D&I). Additionally, half of APU’s faculty members is of non-Japanese nationality, underscoring its status as one of the most distinctive global universities worldwide. The university currently comprises three colleges and two graduate schools: the College of Asia Pacific Studies, the Graduate School of Asia Pacific Studies, the College of International Management, the Graduate School of Management, and the College of Sustainability and Tourism. APU has earned high acclaim both domestically and internationally. In 2014, APU was selected for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s “Top Global University Project (SGU),” and received the highest rating in the 2024 post-project evaluation. Furthermore, in 2024, APU was jointly selected alongside Kyushu Institute of Technology for the Ministry’s “Multicultural Campus Project Toward Social Impact”, an initiative that transcends the boundaries between public and private institutions, between regions, and between humanities and science, promoting interdisciplinary integration. APU is committed to developing highly skilled professionals in cutting-edge fields that will drive the future of society, such as the semiconductor and space sectors, through collaboration among industry, government, academia, and finance based in the Kyushu region. The College of Asia Pacific Studies is highly regarded for its strength in the field of international relations field among comparable domestic programs. The College of International Management and Graduate School of Management have gained AACSB accreditation for business education, while the Graduate School of Management also has AMBA accreditation for postgraduate-level management education, and the College of Sustainability and Tourism has received TedQual accreditation in the field of tourism studies. Furthermore, APU was ranked in the 2025 Times Higher Education Japan University Rankings[1] released in April 2025, placing fifth among private universities nationwide. Meanwhile, in the domestic context, the management environment for universities is expected to face significant challenges in the future as the population of 18-year-olds declines and university enrollment rates are forecast to stagnate. Amid these circumstances, APU is currently undertaking initiatives under the banner of the APU2030 Vision and the latter phase plan of the Challenge Design, pursuing the expansion of diversity and the cultivation of advanced human resources across organizational and disciplinary boundaries, the practical implementation of D&I, the creation of social impact, and the development of a genuine research university aligned with these initiatives, embarking on new challenges as part of the New APU as we turn this vision into action. In this context, APU is issuing an open call for suitable individuals to serve as its next president and lead the university into this new era of advancement. 2. The APU President The Opening Declaration of Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University states the following: “Given that the 21st century will see the emergence of a global society, we firmly believe that    coexistence between mankind and nature, as well as between diverse cultures, will be indispensable for the peaceful and sustainable development of the Asia Pacific region. This is why we are now establishing a university here, to nurture the young talent and to create a new academic discipline which will help shape the region's future.” Since its founding 25 years ago, our multicultural co-learning campus—where a diverse body of international students from countries and regions around the world gathers and, within Japan, students come from every prefecture—has attracted attention at home and abroad as students thrive in university life. From their first year, students acquire essential competencies and skills for studying at APU—such as communication, facilitation, coaching, and time-management—through seminar courses including the Student Success Workshop, Multicultural Collaboration Workshop, and Foundations of Global Leadership. The APU President represents the University, appointing Vice-Presidents, faculty Deans and other key executives, overseeing matters concerning the management of the university and its academic affairs, and is expected to demonstrate leadership in the management of the university.
