Yogyakarta (26/10) – In a world that continues to develop, education is very important to improve the quality of Human Resources. Education can make a person broad insight, therefore education will also change the mindset of the person so that they have more perspectives on a problem. This is in line with the program at the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration, University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY). In addition to providing quality education by providing various programs, one of which is a student exchange program to increase flight hours related to internationalization, it opens perspectives and mindsets for IGOV UMY students.

Continuing studies to the master’s level is not just because you get a degree, but because you want to explore certain subjects. Therefore, IGOV UMY wants to help its students to get scholarships by creating a program where IGOV students will be given tips & tricks on how to get scholarships from third parties. This scholarship is intended for those who want to do further studies or who want to do Student Exchange.

Therefore, IGOV UMY held the “IGOV Scholarship Hack 101” program. which aims to accommodate IGOV UMY students to know what to prepare, as well as the steps to get a scholarship. This activity will be held on Friday, October 28, 2022, through Zoom Meetings.

Toward the National Seminar, IGOV Hello Research Prepares Its Members

Yogyakarta (24/10) – Etymologically, the word seminar comes from the Latin “seminarium” which means “land where to plant seeds”. From this literal meaning, seminars are defined as a form of academic teaching, usually organized by universities or organizations. In its full definition, a seminar is a meeting of a group of people to discuss and find solutions to a problem led by an expert as a speaker. This seminar activity is an effort to share knowledge or insights from one or several experts with seminar participants who need such knowledge/insight. In a series of seminars, in addition to resource persons who provide explanations about the topics being discussed, seminar participants can also conduct a question and answer interactions with resource persons who act as experts in their fields. So, after the seminar is over, seminar participants can go home with new knowledge or insights, or even solutions related to the topics discussed.

In line with this, IGOV Hello Research prepares its members to take part in National Seminar activities held by Government Science, Universitas Muhamadiyah Lampung with the theme “Peluang dan Tantangan Mewujudkan Go-Digital Dalam Tata Kelola Pemerintahan”.

Introduce Mendeley from an early age, IGOV UMY’s Bahasa Indonesia class Held a Workshop on Using Mendeley

Yogyakarta (19/10) – Scientific publications are currently being intensively promoted in higher education institutions to catch up with journal publications from other countries. We are quite far behind compared to neighboring countries, such as Malaysia, and even below Vietnam. The term scientific publication even often sounds foreign to academics, both lecturers and students and is still a scourge for students, especially final year students who have to publish their thesis, thesis, and/or dissertation in the form of a journal. Government Science students are familiar with tasks that lead to scientific writing, such as making papers, articles, etc. Therefore, several tools can be used by students to make it easier to carry out their assignments and to do a thesis, namely, Mendeley.

Mendeley is software whose birth was inspired by an attempt to integrate “citation & reference manager” into a social network. With this kind of network, researchers in various parts of the world can collaborate and share research data.

Therefore, to make it easier for students to do assignments and improve soft skills, the Indonesian Language Course taught by Sakir Ridho Wijaya, S.IP., M.IP., provided workshops for IGOV UMY batch 2022 students using Mendeley. This activity was held on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, and took place in Classroom 401, Lt. 4 UMY Postgraduate Building. With this workshop, it is hoped that it can help students when facing assignments that lead to scientific writing and can make it easier for them when they want to do collaborative research. (ARP)

Things to know before Student Exchange to Spain

Yogyakarta (11/10) – For many years, Spain has been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. People visit Spain for its outstanding culture and history, as well as its wonderful beaches in the south, delectable gastronomy, and pleasant weather. This post will go over everything you need to know before studying in Spain. In reality, IGOV UMY has a student exchange destination in Spain with two campus partners that you can pick from, namely Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Universitat Jaume L. No matter where you plan to travel in Spain, and whether it’s your first or tenth visit, Spain always manages to surprise and impress you. To that end, here are some travel ideas for Spain that will be handy for your next study abroad or vacation.

Pickpockets can be an issue.
Some parts of Spain, particularly big cities like Barcelona and Madrid, are notorious for pickpockets who prey on unsuspecting tourists in busy spots or on the metro. Make sure to protect your valuables by wearing a money belt or making sure your pocketbook has a zip and is worn close to your body. Be cautious in crowded areas and avoid making it clear that you are a tourist, especially if you don’t know where you’re going.

Tipping isn’t that big of a deal.
Tipping is nearly non-existent in Spain, with most Spaniards leaving nothing or a few pence.

Spain has excellent public transit.
Traveling across Spain is simply because of the country’s massive public transportation system. There are various possibilities for moving across the country, ranging from national budget airlines like Vueling and Iberia Express to the Renfe railway network and large, affordable bus lines. The metro and buses are good options inside cities, and daily and weekly tickets are available in most destinations.

Occasionally, stores will close in the middle of the day.
Many stores and companies in Spain close for at least a couple of hours in the middle of the day, so don’t expect to get much done between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., when many Spaniards (particularly in smaller towns) take a long lunch break. In metropolitan cities, larger shops and supermarkets will usually stay open, but you can never count on finding an open shop in the middle of the day. Shops, on the other hand, stay open later. Most clothing stores in major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona remain open until around 10 p.m. (ARP)
