Yogyakarta, 23 May 2025 – The Faculty of Cultural Sciences at Universitas Gadjah Mada (FIB UGM), in collaboration with Durham University and IDP Yogyakarta, successfully held a sharing session titled “Experience Excellence: Your Future at Durham University.” The event took place in Soegondo Room S709 at the UGM Language Centre from 10:00 to 11:00 AM WIB and was attended by participants from various academic backgrounds.
The keynote speaker, Ms Edwina Goh, International Recruitment Manager for Southeast Asia at Durham University, delivered an informative presentation about study opportunities at one of the world’s top universities. Through a comprehensive explanation, participants were introduced to the university’s academic system, learning environment, and the wide range of scholarships offered by Durham.
The session also featured an interactive Q&A, during which participants took the opportunity to ask direct questions about the application process, available study programmes, and international student life in the UK. The engaging discussion reflected the high enthusiasm among attendees regarding further study opportunities abroad.
As part of its commitment to providing comprehensive information, all participants received an international mini guide from Durham University, containing practical advice about living and studying in the UK. This guide is expected to help students plan their international education more effectively.
This event is part of FIB UGM’s effort to expand global information access for its students while also strengthening international partnerships in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in achieving quality education and global collaboration. The collaboration between the UGM Language Centre, Durham University, and IDP Yogyakarta is expected to open more academic mobility opportunities in the future.
