Director of CIP Unud, Ni Putu Sri Harta Mimba hoped this activity can increase the quantity of foreign students studying to Unud which is supported by good academic quality. Faculty that be the recipients for student exchange send their students to overseas universities who have cooperated with Udayana University because students who join the program are exempt from tuition fee (free of SPP). Considering that the student sending from Udayana University to university partnership is still small, in the odd semester of 2017/2018, Unud has a student exchange program for 26 students, and it is expected that the program can be utilized by all faculties within Udayana University. (PR)
