  • In Realizing Wcu, The Directorate Of International Programs Of Unikom Implements The 2025 Student Exchange Program at Inti International University, Malaysia

    In Realizing Wcu, The Directorate Of International Programs Of Unikom Implements The 2025 Student Exchange Program at Inti International University, Malaysia

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – In an effort to strengthen the internationalization of education and the development of students’ global competencies, the Directorate of International Programs at the Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) is implementing a Period Exchange Student Program to Malaysia. A total of 20 UNIKOM students from various study programs and two program chairs participated in activities at INTI International University, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, which lasted for two weeks, from October 5 to 19, 2025.

    The Period Exchange Student Program to Malaysia was led directly by Dr. Senny Luckyardi, S.P., M.M., as Director of International Programs and Executive Chair, accompanied by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeny Dwi Santy, S.E., M.M., (Head of the Management Program) and Dr. Tatan Tawami, S.S., M.Hum., (Head of the English Literature Program).

    During an interview, Dr. Senny explained that the student exchange program not only focuses on academic aspects but also serves as a platform for cross-cultural learning and character development for students. “The benefits are extraordinary, as students not only gain knowledge and academic experience but also build networks, understand new cultures, and familiarize themselves with educational systems abroad,” she stated.

    Furthermore, Dr. Senny advised all participants to always maintain the good name of UNIKOM and take advantage of every opportunity obtained during the program. “Come home with benefits, not empty hands. Because this is where the journey to a better life begins. In the future, UNIKOM is also preparing a Winter Camp program to Uzbekistan, as well as exchange plans to Thailand, Vietnam, and Korea,” she concluded.

    Meanwhile, after the student exchange program in Malaysia ended, Dr. Tatan explained that Malaysia and INTI International University were chosen because of their active cooperation and shared vision in achieving the Education Collaboration Unit (ECU), which enables exploration of cooperation in various fields. He also said that the students who participated in this program showed great enthusiasm and made their own preparations before departure. “Our students are very open and enthusiastic. They prepared themselves well, including learning about the local culture and understanding the importance of cross-cultural tolerance. The focus of the activities there was on developing critical thinking skills, cross-cultural communication, and expanding international networks,” he said.

    Dr. Tatan also added that the main challenges faced by students are usually related to language differences, weather, and adaptation to new learning systems. However, thanks to UNIKOM students’ exposure to various international activities, they are able to adapt quickly and confidently.

    Meanwhile, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeny highlighted the preparation and academic benefits of this activity. Before departure, students attended a briefing, cultural orientation, and a motivational session led by Dr. Senny. In addition, students were also equipped with an understanding of academic ethics, environmental adaptation, and mental preparedness for living in another country. “While at INTI, students not only attended international classes but also interacted with lecturers and students from various countries. This enriched their knowledge of cross-cultural communication, soft skills development, and global mindset,” she explained.

    She added that the greatest benefit of this program was the development of students with a global perspective, open-mindedness, and high adaptability in facing the dynamics of the international workforce.  “We hope this program can become an annual routine activity, even developing into a more sustainable program such as mobility credit or double degree. UNIKOM is committed to continuing to expand global academic cooperation so that students have more opportunities to learn and network at the international level,” she concluded.

    Through the 2025 Period Exchange Student Program, UNIKOM once again demonstrates its commitment to producing graduates who are not only academically excellent but also possess global competencies, adaptive character, cross-cultural awareness, and the essential values needed to compete in today’s global era.
