Students who successfully pass the global challenge selection to Australia are from the Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB) and the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), Undergraduate and Diploma programs of English Literature and English Education department. The students will attend several activities, such as training, internship, and work practices during a 1-month course at the International Institute of Language, Union Institute of Language, Brisbane, Australia.
The living cost in Australia is the responsibility of UNS. Through this program, the students are expected to have experience, insight, and international standard language skills. At the end of the activity, students are required to make a report and final project on their experiences during their study in Australia.
Widodo also added that UNS Global Challenge program applicants continue to increase every year. However, due to limited quota, International office as the selector only dispatched 11 participants for this mission. Humas.red-uns/Ath/Dty
