The implementation of international programs at Udayana University, which has been running for several years, especially after the pandemic, still has several obstacles faced by international program managers, including admission requirements, visa processing, study permit processing, communication problems and various other things. This was conveyed by the managers and agents of international programs at Udayana University at a coordination meeting on Friday (27/10) at the KUI Denpasar Office.

The managers and agents of international programs who attended the meeting included the Bali International Program on Asian Studies (BIPAS), Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA), International Business Study Network (IBSN), Gobali Study Program, Upskill Study Program, Tropical Engineering Program, Sport and Physiotherapy Program, Udayana International Study Programs, and Elective Study Program.

The coordination meeting was chaired by P.A.A. Senja Pratiwi, Ph.D as the KUI coordinator by introducing the new KUI structure followed by a discussion on the obstacles faced by each program when implementing international student lectures at Udayana University. It was mentioned that the admission requirements, the flow of visa processing and the long flow and bureaucracy of managing international student study permits and communication were the main obstacles faced by the program.

Responding to these obstacles, Senja Pratiwi will immediately follow up by coordinating with relevant parties. It was also emphasized that all parties must comply with the regulations on the requirements for documents related to the admission of international students at Udayana University to facilitate and shorten the processing time without violating the applicable rules.

In addition to discussing the obstacles faced, Senja Pratiwi also encouraged international program managers to share tips to improve services to international students, so as to further enhance the image of Unud in the eyes of international students. Ending this meeting, the program managers and agents hope that this coordination meeting can be scheduled regularly every semester to establish better communication. Gayungambut, Senja also has the same plan in order to further strengthen communication and cooperation so that international programs at Udayana University can run better and smoother.
