The cooperation focuses on student mobility and the development of a dual degree program through the INTENSE Program, including curriculum alignment, credit transfer, student selection, and mobility arrangements.

Through the student mobility program, students are expected to gain valuable learning experiences in an international academic environment. This opportunity will enable them to broaden their intercultural understanding, develop global competencies, and build international networks that can support their academic and future career development.

Vice Rector II of UNNES, Prof. Heri Yanto, M.B.A., Ph.D., stated that the cooperation is expected to provide meaningful benefits for students while strengthening the relationship between the two universities.

“Most importantly, we hope this cooperation will create meaningful opportunities for our students and strengthen the friendship between our two universities,” said Prof. Heri.

Meanwhile, President of NUU, Prof. Max Ti-Kuang Hou, Ph.D., expressed his hope that the signing of the MoU would mark the beginning of collaboration that leads to tangible programs and outcomes.

“Today, I sincerely hope that this MoU will become a partnership with real students, real projects, and real results,” said Prof. Hou.

Through this cooperation, UNNES and NUU are committed to expanding academic collaboration while providing more international opportunities for students.

The Architecture Engineering Study Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), is strengthening its internationalization efforts through the International Student Mobility program. This year, the program includes an international Field Study Course (Kuliah Kerja Lapangan/KKL) and student exchange opportunities at several universities across Southeast Asia.

A total of 40 students will take part in the international KKL program, visiting Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. One of the main activities is an academic visit to the Department of Architecture & Built Environment at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The visit is expected to broaden students’ understanding of education, architecture, and the built environment from an international perspective.

The Architecture Engineering Study Program is also sending six students to the College of Architecture at Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), Philippines, as part of a student exchange program. The exchange program was initiated the previous year and is expected to continue as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen academic collaboration between the two institutions.

In addition, two students will participate in an international mobility program at the Architecture Program, Faculty of Architecture and Fine Arts, Yersin University of Dalat, Vietnam. The program offers students the opportunity to study in an international academic environment while gaining broader cross-cultural perspectives.

These International Student Mobility activities contribute to the achievement of Key Performance Indicator (IKU) 2 by providing students with learning experiences outside the university. They also support IKU 6 through the development of partnerships with international counterparts. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the program contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing students’ learning experiences and to SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by strengthening partnerships among higher education institutions internationally.

Through the International Student Mobility program, the Architecture Engineering Study Program at the Faculty of Engineering, UNNES, aims to enhance students’ competencies and global perspectives while expanding sustainable international academic networks.

The project reflects the University’s commitment to providing high-quality educational infrastructure to strengthen academic excellence and support its long-term institutional development.

UNNES Rector Prof. Dr. S. Martono, M.Si. emphasised the importance of ensuring that the construction is carried out with precision while remaining fully aligned with the University’s existing campus master plan.

“I expect the construction to be fully aligned with the existing campus spatial plan to prevent technical issues in the future. This development was originally planned before UNNES attained the status of a Legal Entity State University (PTNBH), and its implementation demonstrates our commitment to consolidating and enhancing the facilities of the main campus,” he said.

Dean of the Faculty of Education and Psychology Prof. Dr. Edy Purwanto, M.Si. stated that adequate academic facilities and infrastructure are essential to advancing the University’s internationalisation agenda.

“Improving our performance in the QS World University Rankings and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings remains one of our primary goals. Therefore, it is essential to provide appropriate facilities for research and academic centres,” he said.

He added that although the project was initiated later than other infrastructure developments, the extended planning process has resulted in a more comprehensive and well-prepared design that will better support the faculty’s future development.

Head of the UNNES Procurement Services Office, Dr. Untoro Nugroho, S.T., M.T., explained that the construction project will be implemented in two phases.

“The first phase will run from this year until the end of November, covering the structural works and façade construction. The second phase will take place from January to May, focusing on interior works as well as mechanical and electrical installations,” he explained.

He also requested the understanding of the University community should teaching and learning activities experience minor disruptions during the construction period.

Nayla’s journey to the national stage began in mid-2025 through regional-level selections. Regarding her dedication and preparation, she earned the title of 1st Runner-Up for Puteri Kebaya Central Java and was chosen to represent Central Java 2 at the national competition.

During the quarantine period leading up to the grand final, which took place on July 2–4, 2026, at the Merapi Merbabu Hotel in Yogyakarta, Nayla and the other finalists participated in a variety of activities, including a sashing ceremony, photo and video shoot challenges, in-depth interviews, a gala dinner, and charity events. On the second day, the finalists went on a city tour to Prambanan Temple and participated in preliminary rounds that included a talent show, a catwalk challenge, an advocacy speech, and a choreography class in preparation for the grand final night. 

The Puteri Kebaya Indonesia pageant is an event aimed at discovering young women who can serve as pioneers in preserving the kebaya as a cultural heritage while strengthening the nation’s identity. The competition does not focus solely on appearance; it also evaluates intellectual capacity, leadership, social awareness, and advocacy programs that benefit the community.

As an implementation of her commitment to cultural preservation and women’s empowerment, Nayla launched the KEMBANG (Kebaya Empowerment: Beauty, Action, Nation, Grace) movement with the hashtag #PerempuaNAYuBERKEBAYA on National Kebaya Day, July 24, 2025. This movement stems from the #LoveYourself campaign that she conceived in 2020 to encourage women to be more confident and recognize their potential. This commitment is also realized through the empowerment of PKK mothers in Dologan Village and cultural education for children through the Roro Jonggrang folktale, all while wearing the kebaya.

For Nayla, the title of Puteri Kebaya Indonesia is not merely a personal achievement but a mandate to continue inspiring the younger generation to take pride in the nation’s culture and to have the courage to play a role in empowering the community. This achievement also serves as proof that UNNES students are capable of excelling at the national level by presenting works, ideas, and concrete actions that have a positive impact on society and the preservation of Indonesian culture.
