POLIJE STUDENTS DEPART FOR STUDENT MOBILITY PROGRAM TO UiTM MALAYSIA

A group of ten students from the Department of Language, Communication, and Tourism at Politeknik Negeri Jember (POLIJE) officially departed for Malaysia today to participate in the Student Mobility Program at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). This academic mobility initiative is scheduled to take place from April 27 to May 8, 2025.

The group flew from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, marking the beginning of a 12-day international academic and cultural exchange program supported by both POLIJE and UiTM. The program is part of a broader cooperation initiative aimed at strengthening academic internationalization, particularly in the fields of communication and tourism.

The following students were selected to represent POLIJE in this prestigious program are Dina Ayu Silih Kantinastiti, Jeffry Ang, Desya Aulia Putri Pratiwi, Savina Yuliyanti Rachman P. A, Zuljiah Najma Tamrin, Nahida Zahwa Haya Hanifa, Loficha Qudrotil Mufkhfiroh I, Laelatul Jannah, Wilda Fiska Alhimni and Bunga Rohmatulloh.

These students, all from the English Study Program, are expected to engage in various academic and intercultural activities alongside their Malaysian counterparts, enhancing their global competencies and academic experiences.

Throughout the program, participants will take part in classroom learning, cultural visits, and collaborative projects designed to foster mutual understanding and academic enrichment. These activities aim to build communication skills, expand international networks, and provide firsthand experience in cross-cultural environments.

Prior to their international departure, the students were accompanied to Bali by Moch Siswanto, A.Md., a staff member from POLIJE’s Office of International Affairs, who provided administrative and logistical assistance to ensure a smooth transition during the initial phase of their journey.

Director of POLIJE, Saiful Anwar, S.Tp., MP, expressed his support for the students, emphasizing the importance of global exposure in today’s academic and professional landscapes. “We hope this program will not only broaden their knowledge and skills but also strengthen institutional cooperation between POLIJE and UiTM,” he stated.

The Student Mobility Program is anticipated to further contribute to the vision of POLIJE as a globally engaged higher education institution. (rda)
