These courses are transferable to our American partner universities, allowing students to apply them toward bachelor’s degree requirements upon transfer.

International Study Program

Youth Leadership Program (YLP) is a month-long workshop offered each semester to Myanmar youth, non-AUY students, designed to empower participants with professional and personal skills such as communication, team-building, public speaking, and critical thinking. In addition to classroom learning, participants engage in hands-on projects that address pressing local issues like recycling, air quality, and heritage preservation. This program provides a unique opportunity to acquire new skills while offering exposure to the university experience.

Youth Leadership Program

Development workshops, offered periodically to non-AUY broader community, focus on enhancing skills and personal growth in areas such as well-being and organisational skills. These interactive sessions provide practical tools and strategies to help participants build emotional resilience, improve time management, and boost overall productivity.
