The Dean of FEB, Prof. Dr. Suharnomo, S.E., M.Si., in his speech expressed his pride for the 61 students who will later participate in International Exposure activities. “This morning is a really happy moment for me and the academic community at FEB Undip, because there are 61 students who will go abroad for Double Degree, Credit Transfer System, Short Course, and IISMA. We are very proud of all of you for this achievement, hopefully you can make Undip campus proud,” he said.

On this occasion, Prof. Suharnomo advised the 61 students to make the best use of this rare opportunity. “In other countries, take good care of yourself. This is a very rare opportunity since not many students can get this opportunity. Hopefully the students will get the best opportunity from it. I believe my friends can do it.” explained Prof. Suharnomo.

Furthermore, Prof. Suharnomo added that students who will carry out International Exposure activities must continue to adapt to the local culture and expand their network. “Continue to adapt, don’t be silent, and expand networking. There are customs and rules that must be respected, and learn how to live in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural environment. Take good care of the alma mater’s name.” he added.

Later, after the students graduate, Prof. Suharnomo hoped that the students will have 3 competencies to face the current era of turbulence disruption, which include competence in data and information literacy, communication literacy, and human literacy.

Representing IUP students, Sepvanna Syafa Setiadi admitted that she is happy to be one of the students who will carry out International Exposure activities. In this Pre Departure Ceremony International Undergraduate Program event, Sepvanna got a lot of insight on how she should behave later when doing the Double Degree program.

Sepvanna, who is from the Economics and Finance Study Program class of 2020, will undergo a Double Degree program at Curtin University, Australia. “Hopefully in the future I can return to Undip with the good name that I have done abroad later.” Sepvanna concluded.

The International Undergraduate Program (IUP) FEB Undip requires students to take part in International Exposure activities. IUP FEB Undip has three study programs, namely International Business, Accounting, and Economics and Finance. By sending these 61 students to various universities in several countries, it has strengthened Undip to become a World Class University (WCU).
