BANDUNG, UNIKOM – On Saturday, October 11, 2025, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) welcomed a visit from Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta. The visit was welcomed directly by the Director of International Affairs & Cooperation UNIKOM, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Inta Budi Setya Nusa, S.E., M.Ak., along with his team. The UPNVJ delegation included the Head of the International Affairs Office (KUI) of UPNVJ, accompanied by two KUI staff members, two faculty advisors, and 17 students, consisting of seven UPNVJ students and ten international students currently studying at UPNVJ. This visit also aimed to serve as a platform for academic dialogue and cultural exchange between students from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at UPNVJ and UNIKOM students.
During the visit, UPNVJ students also had the opportunity to see UNIKOM’s excellent facilities, including the UTV studio, which is a center for creative content and digital media development, and the Animation Division, which is known for its innovative and collaborative works in the creative industry.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Inta Budi said that the visit was a follow-up to the previous collaboration between UNIKOM and UPNVJ. “This is the second visit as a form of continued collaboration between the two universities. On this occasion, we scheduled a discussion session between the International Relations Study Program of UNIKOM and the foreign and regular students from UPNVJ. This activity is part of a mobility activity that aims to broaden students’ knowledge and experience, especially in exchanging ideas and building cross-cultural academic networks,” he said.
The main agenda of the visit continued with an interactive talk show featuring student representatives from the Governance Science, Communication Science, and International Relations Study Programs at UPNVJ as well as FISIP UNIKOM students.
During the session, participants discussed the role of students in research collaboration, cultural diplomacy, and global contributions in the digital era. The visit also served as an academic networking event between UNIKOM students and UPNVJ foreign students from various countries. The participants exchanged views on the education system, their study experiences in Indonesia, and opportunities for collaborative research in the future. The atmosphere was warm and interactive, reflecting the spirit of “Global Friendship through Education,” which is the spirit of both universities.
On this occasion, Masitado, a regular student from Indonesia, and Majidali from Pakistan, who is a foreign student at UPNVJ, also shared their impressions and messages after touring the UNIKOM campus. Both said that the visit was their first time and left a deep impression on them. They were impressed by UNIKOM’s comprehensive and modern facilities and infrastructure, and felt that the academic atmosphere was different and inspiring, especially in the field of digital media. For both of them, the visit was a valuable experience that broadened their knowledge and motivated them to pursue their studies in Indonesia.
Through this activity, both universities hope to strengthen the relationship between higher education institutions and contribute to creating an open, inclusive, and globally competitive higher education ecosystem. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
