The new partnership will enable UB students enrolled full-time to take classes at AIU and have credits applied to their respective degree programmes.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership with AIU opens another doorway for eligible UB students to study and live in Japan, and learn another language and culture. Additionally, AIU is one of the few universities in Japan offering all of its courses in English.
