This program is open to undergraduate students in all universities in Indonesia.
Later in Korea, Amanda will spend 1 semester at Hanyang University starting from February to June. Hanyang University is a research-based private university in South Korea. Hanyang comes from the old name of the capital city Seoul which was used during the Chosun Dynasty. There she will experience and learn firsthand the cultural background, hone her language skills and gain networks that will be useful in the future. Previously, Undiknas had also succeeded in sending one of its students by the name of Wanda to U.K. who is also an awardee of the IISMA scholarship program, where she studied at the University of Lancaster. Students who take part in this IISMA program do not need to worry about costs because it is fully funded.
