For the Faculty of Economic and Business (FEB), working with the International Office is such a valuable experience, who gave significant support to every Tri Dharma international activity, either in ASEAN or in Asia. Some of the supports provided from the international office are in the form of strengthening partnership networks, collaboration links, and MoU, MoA and Implementation of Arrangement legalization.
It is also a joyful and prideful experience when our faculty members have the chance to teach and test our students along with our international partners through many activities, such as guest lecturer class, international studium generale, and visiting professor class. For us, the most notable international activities are the visiting professor classes that brings academician from various nations to come here to teach our students, do research with our faculty members, and write articles together. Currently, we are pioneering a student exchange program with our international partners.
Another noteworthy experience that we have with the International Office is regarding International Community Service program abroad. Every party, including the UPPS, major, and international office, holds an important role to synergize and increase our joint performance. Thank you, International Office, for being a great support system.
