Mr. Prof. Hari Purnomo, as the Dean of FTI, advised the 7 students to protect the good name of religion, nation and university. Show that Muslims are good and achievement. Out there, we have different cultures. Chinese citizens are hard workers. Be careful about food too, make sure to consume only halal food and drinks. We also need to learn the language there because international language is not only English.

Head of Undergraduate Program’s Advice

Mr. R. Teduh Dirgahayu, Head of Informatics Engineering – Bachelor Program, tells that dual degree students and exchange students in previous periods have given a good impression, so this program can be sustainable. He hopes that international cooperation will increase. Take advantage of the international atmosphere that is not found here. Befriend other local and international students, do not gather together with fellow Indonesian students.Friendship with the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) is also important.
