The Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), welcomed a delegation from the University of Adelaide to explore potential collaboration between the two institutions in the fields of education and research on Wednesday (17/04), at the Senate Meeting Room, FTUI Dean’s Office.
“Currently, the University of Adelaide aims to expand and strengthen its relationships with industries and academia in Indonesia, particularly with FTUI. Therefore, we are very interested in exploring new opportunities for educational and research collaboration with FTUI,” said Professor David Lewis, Dean of the Faculty of Science, Engineering, and Technology, University of Adelaide.
The University of Adelaide is initiating an articulation agreement collaboration for dual degree programs with a 2+2 scheme, for both undergraduate and master’s programs. Under this scheme, students will study for 2 years at FTUI and then proceed to the University of Adelaide for the next 2 years. Upon completion, students will receive dual degrees. Furthermore, the University of Adelaide plans to follow up with an AoI academic exchange specifically for FTUI’s student and staff mobility, as well as other potential collaborations such as short courses under the NCP mobility program.
Prof. Ir. Mahmud Sudibandriyo, M.Sc., Ph.D., Vice Dean for Resources, Ventures, and General Administration at FTUI, welcomed the potential collaboration with the University of Adelaide. “Collaborating with universities in Australia is not new for FTUI. For approximately 20 years, FTUI has been building relationships with several universities in Australia. We welcome the University of Adelaide’s offer to collaborate in the fields of education and research. We believe many potential collaborations can benefit both parties, and we hope this collaboration will help develop FTUI’s international class.”
“We hope that this collaboration will be a great opportunity for both institutions to optimize the quality of education and research.
