DMMMSU has once again partnered with Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (UNDIKSHA), in Bali, Indonesia to replicate the international experience—this time, virtually because of the pandemic.

DMMMSU President, Dr. Jaime I. Manuel, Jr., endorsed the application of 17 students as virtual exchange students in UNDIKSHA for one semester (February to June 2022). 

Six Bachelor of Science in Information System students are enrolled in UNDIKSHA’s KOM20204: Database class. Five students from the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program are in KOM20406: Software Engineering class, while two Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and four Bachelor of Secondary Education- Major in Mathematics students are taking MMM20208: Number Theory class.

“COVID-19 does not stop us from pursuing our goals for internationalization; we’ll always find ways,” Ms. Ayu Prabawati, UNDIKSHA’s Secretary of the Agency of Cooperation and Public Relations, said during the virtual meeting.

As the receiving institution, UNDIKSHA supports DMMMSU students and arrange lecture classes for one semester through its preferred Learning Management System (LMS).

In 2021, DMMMSU and UNDIKSHA have already hosted international conference and exchanged students for the virtual practice teaching. This year, aside from the credit transfer program, these two institutions mutually agree to implement still another online teaching practicum, and faculty exchange programs. (Jesus Rafael B. Jarata)
