Yogyakarta — Global Engagement Office (KKUI) of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) welcomed a benchmarking visit from Universitas Trunojoyo Madura on Friday, October 2, 2026. The visit provided an opportunity to share experiences in developing international cooperation, student mobility programs, and international student management.
The delegation from Universitas Trunojoyo Madura was welcomed by Ulaya Ahdiani, S.S., M.Hum., Head of KKUI UAD, together with Afit Istiandaru, S.Pd., M.Pd., Head of the International Cooperation Division, and KKUI UAD staff. During the meeting, both institutions exchanged information on strategies and practices for managing international programs within higher education institutions.
One of the main topics discussed was UAD’s experience in implementing the ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) program. As a reference for best practices in the program, UAD shared its experience in implementation strategies, developing partnerships with overseas universities, and expanding academic mobility opportunities for students.
The discussion continued with the SEA Teacher program, which provides pre-service teachers with opportunities to gain teaching practice experience abroad. The discussion also served as a platform to exchange information on program implementation and opportunities to develop cross-border academic cooperation.
In addition to student mobility opportunities, the meeting also addressed the Darmasiswa scholarship program and international student management. Supporting students from various countries requires adequate services, ranging from administrative assistance to ongoing support throughout their academic journey in Indonesia. Adaptation to the local social and cultural environment was also highlighted as an important factor in ensuring a positive learning experience for international students.
Through this benchmarking visit, KKUI UAD shared its experience in developing international programs, from strengthening partnerships and academic mobility to managing international students.
