ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS)

Overview

The ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) Programme is an international student mobility initiative coordinated by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Centre for Higher Education and Development (SEAMEO RIHED). The programme aims to strengthen academic collaboration among higher education institutions across Asia through student exchange, credit transfer, and international learning experiences.

Through the AIMS Programme, students of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) have the opportunity to study at partner universities across Asia for one semester while earning transferable academic credits. In addition to enriching their academic knowledge, participants develop intercultural communication skills, broaden their global perspectives, and build international networks that support their future academic and professional careers.
