International exposure

Every international class student completes one period of international exposure at a partner university or institution abroad — a double degree, joint degree, sit-in, internship, or another format. Some examples from Unhas:

Double degree

International Relations students can earn two degrees: a Sarjana Ilmu Politik from Unhas and a Bachelor of Arts from The University of Queensland, Australia. The first graduate crossed the stage in July 2024.

Sit-in

International class students in Dentistry spent three weeks at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, supervised by its professors and lecturers.

Short international programme

Through the Blended International Programme at Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, the Netherlands, Faculty of Nursing students studied planetary health with peers from several countries — four weeks online, then on campus in Groningen from 2 to 6 February 2026.

Guest lecturers from abroad

The Dentistry international class has brought in lecturers from Universiti Malaya and the University of Melbourne for online guest lectures.

Unhas’s global showcase

Rector Jamaluddin Jompa calls the international class Unhas’s global showcase and a key step towards becoming a world-class university. The university has drawn up guidelines for managing international classes so that governance, teaching, and curricula meet the same standard in every programme.
