The IISMA program aims to facilitate Indonesian students in acquiring knowledge, skills in exchanging ideas and culture, as well as building relationships with the international community. This year, IISMA provides 140 undergraduate and vocational higher education institutions that can be selected as partner universities by IISMA 2023 participants. Later, IISMA participants will spend 4-6 months at partner universities to study the chosen courses. Like other Merdeka Learning Campus Programs, this IISMA program can be converted up to 20 credits.

Each IISMA participant will receive an allowance that includes registration fees, tuition fees, living expenses, visas, and airplane tickets, as well as health insurance. The Universitas Indonesia also helps with IISMA 2023 applicants in the form of an English language test assistance program.

Happy learning and always success for the IISMA 2023 awardees. FPH UI is proud! (WR)
