Even so, collaboration among fellow students and between students and lecturers were able to create a positive learning environment. The courses offered, she opined, are essential and interesting.

Graduate students who came from their respective country’s top universities show that UGM has globalized and become one of destinations in ASEAN,” he said.

The alumni, especially those who participated in AUN SEEDNET program, are plenty in various ASEAN countries. Some of them become lecturers in top universities, officials in bureaucracy, and work in big companies. The wide network built through education will be a strong foundation for cross-country relations and cooperation.
