What does it take for students to thrive in an international academic environment?
Lala Bumela Sudimantara, Ph.D., Director of the International Office at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon (UIN-SSC), Indonesia, shares three essential pillars for students preparing to study abroad: linguistic readiness, globally relevant academic research, and intercultural adaptability.
Beyond student mobility, he emphasises that true internationalisation is not simply about university rankings, but about building meaningful global partnerships, advancing sustainable education, and creating lasting impact for communities.
Through collaboration with Chinese and Southeast Asian universities, UIN-SSC aims to strengthen its international relevance and contribute to a more connected and sustainable future.
