Chiang Rai (25/3) – Exchange is a good activity for students. It can open up a broader perspective, and the exchange can also be used to learn about the culture of UMY Exchange partner countries, like the nine students from IGOV UMY who are carrying out an exchange to Maejo University Thailand (MJU) for one semester, which began on February 20 and will end on May 13, 2023. The nine IGOV students are learning Thai culture on the Field Trip to Chiang Rai, Thailand.

IGOVThe field trip to Chiang Rai City was held on February 23–25, 2023. It was initiated by the School of Administrative Studies, together with six MJU students as buddies and nine IGOV students. IGOV students are invited to visit several tourist and cultural attractions, such as Rajhabat University, the Golden Triangle, the Blue Temple, the Northern Most of Thailand, Wiang Pa Pao, Wat Huay Pla Kang, and Wat Rong Khun – White Temple. IGOV students admit they are pleased, especially when they visit Wiang Pa Pao (hot springs), because tourists usually boil their eggs here because there is a pool filled with hot water. Besides that, in the Golden Triangle, they can see the Mekong River, the border of three countries, namely Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand.

IGOVSherin, one of the IGOV students, admitted that this was her first experience; what’s more, she was very impressed with the tolerance there. “Every temple in Chiangrai has a different color and shape that has a different meaning, but even so, the Hindu community there remains tolerant of it,” said Sherin.

by Exchange

Yogyakarta (2/12) – the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY) has just held a socialization activity related to student exchange activities at Maejo University, Thailand on Friday (3/12) via Zoom Meetings. This activity was attended by Sakir Ridho Wijaya, S.IP., M.IP., as the director of IGOV UMY, Adibah Dhivani Gusmi, S.IP., as the International Mobility and Cooperation division at IGOV UMY, and IGOV UMY Batch 2020 students who did not do the Student Exchange Program which is a requirement for their graduation.

The program aimed to encourage 12 IGOV UMY Batch 2020 to have an experience with internationalization. At least IGOV UMY students can take part in the Student Exchange Program which is their obligation for graduation requirements. These students were directed to take part in the Student Exchange at Maejo University, Thailand, which is currently open for registration until Saturday (10/12).

“This activity aims for encouraging IGOV UMY students, especially Batch 2020, to not postpone the Student Exchange Program activities which will be burdensome at the end of the semester, for that we direct them to register at Maejo University, Thailand.” Mas Sakir said.

As the director, Mas Sakir hopes that students can prepare for the student exchange program carefully. This is because the student exchange registration is near, both physically, mentally, documentary and financially to reduce unwanted things from happening. (ARP)

IGOV UMY Welcoming of 2 Exchange Students from Maejo University, Thailand

by ExchangeKegiatanStudent

Yogyakarta (17/11) – The Student Exchange Program as a result of the collaboration between the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY) and Maejo University, Thailand is conducting stages of sending its students to each university after being confronted by the co-19 pandemic which caused the student exchange program to not be carried out. At this time, IGOV UMY is accepting 2 students from Maejo University, Thailand who will study at IGOV UMY for 1 semester. The two students were named Amnat Arthan and Chakorn Auppala.

Of course, the arrival of the 2 exchange students is expected to be able to add to the relations of IGOV UMY students and they can share experiences, learn about each culture, and provide insight and new perspectives from the exchange students. As stated by Awang, one of the IGOV UMY batch 2020 students, “With the arrival of these 2 students, we hope that we can broaden our insights and perspectives about the world. In addition, we hope that we will be able to exchange positive thoughts and culture with them.” This is of course in line with the mission of IGOV UMY which wants to make IGOV UMY graduates able to compete nationally and globally with the provision provided as well as broader insights and perspectives.

As this of course also has a positive impact on these exchange students, with this program they can learn new knowledge about the Indonesian government which is certainly different from Thailand which adheres to a constitutional monarchy form of government. “We hope that this activity can provide new knowledge about the Indonesian government and upgrade our English skills,” said the two of them. The two students will study with IGOV batch 2020 students for 1 semester. Using presto is very much attached to pretzels, it would be a shame if you remove the pretzels themselves, therefore using a new brand to load new products (multi-brand) will be more suitable for this case
