UPNVJ PR – The MBKM program launched by the Ministry of Education and Culture provides flexibility for students to study outside the campus environment and even abroad and vice versa. The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) UPN Veterans Jakarta, which has a mission to reach the international community, has formed a Summer Course Student Exchange MBKM program in collaboration with one of the public universities in Thailand, namely Walailak University.

The aims and objectives to be achieved through this program are, among others, to realize cross-campus teaching and learning activities abroad (in this case with Walailak University Thailand) and at the same time to increase the knowledge of Wailalak University students about Indonesian culture. On this occasion, Walailak University sent eight students to take classes according to the study program they took for two weeks.

Today (23/05/2022) for the first time the eight students of Walailak University were accompanied by the Assistant to the Dean of International Affairs, Dr. Wasin Praditsilp, set foot at FEB UPN Veterans Jakarta. The FEB family warmly welcomed them at the FEB 2nd floor Auditorium. Both parties were enthusiastic to meet face-to-face without a computer intermediary for the first time.

Dean of FEB, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dianwicaksih Arieftiara, SE., Ak., M.Ak., CA, CSRS., hopes that through the Summer Course program, these eight students will not only gain useful and meaningful academic and non-academic experiences, but also build friendships with other FEB students. Other ongoing collaborations are also expected to be established in the future.

On the other hand, Wasin admitted that this program is certainly very helpful for the eight students in gaining knowledge and getting new experiences. The strong and good relationship that has been built by both parties makes Walailak University sure to always support FEB UPN Veterans Jakarta.
