POLIJE and Jiangsu Agri-animal Husbandry Vocational College Discuss Joint Degree Program through Zoom Meeting

Politeknik Negeri Jember (POLIJE) continues to strengthen its international collaboration with overseas institutions through academic partnership programs. One of the initiatives was a Zoom Meeting with Jiangsu Agri-animal Husbandry Vocational College (JAHVC), China, held on Thursday, November 6, 2025. The meeting focused on discussing the proposed Joint Degree Program between the two institutions.

The meeting was attended by the Vice Director for Collaboration Affairs, Agung Wahyono, Ph.D., Head of International Office, Vigo Dewangga, S.S., M.Pd., and his team, as well as representatives from JSAHVC (Jiangsu members). The discussion was productive, covering details of curriculum design, career prospects for graduates, and administrative preparations for program implementation.

During the meeting, Rizki Amalia Nurfirtriani, Coordinator of the Livestock Study Program, presented key components to be synchronized between both institutions, including accreditation, vision and mission alignment, student mobility, faculty profile, and entry requirements. Other important points discussed included the list of offered courses, career prospects, and supporting facilities available at JAHVC.

The JSAHVC representatives expressed their enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring the academic standards of both institutions align, enabling graduates to earn dual recognition through the joint degree program. This collaboration aims to provide POLIJE students with valuable international learning experiences and enhance their global competencies in agriculture, animal science, and technology.

The discussion also covered several supporting documents, including the faculty profile, program documentation, and examples of degree certificates from Jiangsu, which will serve as references for the formal proposal preparation.

Through this meeting, POLIJE reaffirmed its commitment to advancing international academic cooperation and providing students with opportunities for overseas study experiences. This initiative aligns with POLIJE’s vision to become a Center of Excellence in Agroindustry capable of competing globally.

Both institutions are optimistic that the joint degree program can be officially launched in the upcoming academic year once all academic and administrative requirements are finalized. The partnership is expected to open broader career opportunities for POLIJE graduates through internationally recognized qualifications.
