Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University (FK Unud) and MSU Malaysia Explore Collaboration on Double Degree Programs and Student Exchanges
The Faculty of Medicine (FK) at Udayana University (Unud) received a visit from representatives of Management and Science University (MSU) Malaysia. The meeting was held to discuss various collaborative opportunities in the academic sphere, including the development of double degree programs, student exchanges, and continuing professional development. The discussion took place in the Dean’s Meeting Room, located on the third floor of the FK Unud building at the Sudirman Campus, Denpasar, on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
The meeting was attended by Prof. Dr. Indang Ariati, Vice President of International Affairs at Management and Science University (MSU) Malaysia. Representing FK Unud were the Dean, Prof. Dr. dr. I Gede Eka Wiratnaya, Sp.OT., Subsp.Onk.Ort.R(K)., accompanied by the Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. dr. I Made Ady Wirawan, M.P.H., Ph.D., and the Vice Dean for Resources, Planning, and Partnerships, Prof. Dr. dr. I Made Muliarta, S.Ked., M.Kes.
A key topic of discussion was student mobility and exchange programs. Management and Science University (MSU) Malaysia plans to send five students to participate in elective studies at FK Unud this coming March. FK Unud has warmly welcomed this proposal and is prepared to facilitate the necessary placements within its teaching hospitals and affiliated medical facilities. As a reciprocal option, Management and Science University (MSU) offers three global mobility schemes for students from the Faculty of Medicine at Udayana University (FK Unud)—covering the fields of Nursing, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, and Medicine—namely the Global Mobility Program (lasting from one semester to one year), the Global Leadership Program (lasting from two weeks to one month), and the Global Internship Program (clinical internships at hospitals affiliated with MSU).
Furthermore, FK Unud proposes potential flagship, locally-oriented programs—such as Travel Medicine and Global Health—for exchange students from Management and Science University (MSU), Malaysia, with a flexible duration ranging from one to four weeks. Regarding curriculum development, both institutions have agreed to conduct curriculum mapping to explore the possibility of a double-degree program at the undergraduate level in Medicine and Nursing. This scheme would allow students to complete a portion of their studies at a partner university to earn two undergraduate academic degrees before proceeding to the professional training phase at their home institution.
The event was also attended by the Coordinator of the Specialist Program in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery; representatives from the Specialist Program in Radiology; the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Program in Psychology; the Coordinator of the Professional Program in Dentistry; representatives from the Undergraduate Program in Dentistry; the Coordinators of the Undergraduate Programs in Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health; the Coordinator of the Professional Program in Nursing; the Coordinator of the Professional Program in Physiotherapy; and representatives from the Undergraduate Program in Physiotherapy.
