A total of 33 students from the Faculty of Psychology, Gadjah Mada University (UGM) have achieved achievements as recipients of the 2024 Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) scholarship. IISMA is one of the initiatives of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology to increase the mobility of Indonesian students to various prestigious universities in this world.

The Dean of the Faculty of Psychology UGM, Rahmat Hidayat, S.Psi., M.Sc., Ph.D., expressed his appreciation to the students for this achievement.

“Congratulations to the students who received IISMA this year, from year to year students from the Faculty of Psychology show high ability to get a program like this. “This year, when compared to the number of students, including the high ratio at UGM, 33 out of 250 students, more than 10%,” said the Dean on Tuesday (4/6).

The Dean also hopes that the students who receive this scholarship can make the best use of the opportunity to study abroad and become an inspiration for fellow students at the UGM Faculty of Psychology.

Faculty of Psychology students who win IISMA 2024 scholarships will study for one semester in various countries, including the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, as well as countries in Asia and Europe.

One of the students who received the scholarship, Pramudyawardhani Mahira Kusumaningtyas (2021) shared his experience in taking part in the IISMA selection, “Actually, this is not the first attempt at IISMA, last year we actually registered but haven’t been accepted yet. “Last year there were many evaluations that needed to be improved,” he said.

Armed with self-evaluation, thorough preparation, support from her fellow students, as well as support from the Faculty of Psychology, Mahira succeeded in achieving one of the various goals she wanted to achieve while studying. “It turns out that the milestones that I wrote as an assignment yesterday actually happened, it turns out that I also wrote ‘participate in student exchange’, and that happened,” he said happily.

Currently, Mahira is preparing for her studies at the University of Padua, Italy, which will start in October 2024.
