Yogyakarta (16/2) The mandatory program for international Class Students, namely Student Exchange, has been carried out by IGOV with various international partners. Many benefits can be obtained from this program, such as; opening international relations, opening wider perspectives, improving English language skills, and much more. IGOV UMY has dispatched many students for exchange abroad, this semester there are 15 students who have gone for exchange abroad. 9 exchange students to Maejo University Thailand, 3 exchange students to Universiti Sains Malaysia, 1 exchange student to Universiti Malaysia Pahang, 1 exchange student to Dong-A University South Korea, and 1 exchange student to Asia University Taiwan.
All students who will go on exchange this semester are very happy and enthusiastic, and don’t forget that IGOV UMY provides counseling, debriefing and, at the same time, provides subsidies for students who will exchange for one semester at IGOV UMY partner universities.
In this event, the director of IGOV UMY said that in this program students must focus on self-development, don’t be lulled by the various temptations that exist in exchange destination countries. “You have to focus on self-development, especially in English, and adaptation to the exchange destination country. Don’t get carried away and just focus on playing, you still have to go to college and absorb as much knowledge as possible at partner universities.” said Sakir Ridho Wijaya (FLT)
