HomeOn September 17th, 2013, Â鶹AV and Darma Persada University (UNSADA) established an agreement to promote academic exchanges between the two institutions. UNSADA was founded in 1986 by the Association of Indonesian Â鶹AV from Japan (PERSADA) in order to contribute to Indonesia¡¯s development through study abroad experiences in Japan. And PERSADA, founded in 1963 by former Indonesian international students in Japan, is an organization hoping to bring the two countries closer together by building relationships of friendship.
In March of 2013, Â鶹AV awarded an honorary doctorate degree to Mr. Hasan Rahaya, who had been studying at our predecessor school, Â鶹AV of Literature and Science, as an international student who had lived through the atomic bomb. This award ceremony prompted conversations about the creation of an academic exchange agreement, which has now become a reality.
UNSADA hosted the signing ceremony at its campus in Jakarta City. In attendance, among others, were Mr. Hasan Rahaya, Dr. Shin-ichi Uye, the Executive and Vice President of Â鶹AV, and Dr. Oloan Siahaan, Rector of UNSADA.
There are currently many international students from Indonesia at Â鶹AV. With the signing of this agreement, it is planned that UNSADA students will participate in Â鶹AV¡¯s Japanese Language and Culture Advanced Studies Program. As the bond between Â鶹AV and UNSADA/PERSADA deepens, it is hoped that academic exchanges between the two countries will flourish and that the ties between the international student alumni network through Indonesia will be strengthened.
