Ten Indonesian students have arrived in the beautiful South West of England to experience life at one of the country’s most renowned universities. University of Exeter is actively engaged with the BritCham Education Centre, the Human Capital & Education Member Focus Group and is a member of the BritCham special university panel.
The students have made the 12,000km journey to study at the University of Exeter thanks to the Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA), which provide scholarships for short-term programmes at top universities overseas.
This funding from the Indonesian government enables students to study a full semester at their chosen institution, where they can experience their host country’s culture and enhance their academic, language and life skills. These include social intelligence, novel and adaptive thinking, cross-cultural competency, and new media literacy.
Among the modules that the students will be taking at Exeter include Digital Technologies and Future of Work; Leading Change in Practice; and an Introduction to Health Research. These all complement the ‘Ten Skills for the Future Workforce’ identified by the Indonesian government.
