The 20 Ambassadors of UPH finalists who made it to the next round

Several speeches by the finalists are as follows:

Do you think it is appropriate to refer UPH as a Global Campus?

“In my opinion, Universitas Pelita Harapan is very appropriate to be referred as a Global Campus, because UPH has had International class programs and also has very good relationships with international companies. In addition, UPH also has International Students from various countries. Lastly and most importantly, UPH also prepares and hones the students to be highly competitive and ready to compete globally. “

Wina Sari Winata – Hospitality 2014

“I think it is really appropriate to refer UPH as a Global Campus, because UPH has an academic system to develop the best talents. UPH also provides international-based learning as well as invites international lecturers or guest speakers. UPH also collaborates with international universities and academies to provide more opportunities for students to feel and think globally, to study abroad and also to feel empowered to confront global challenges. In addition, UPH also provides services and supports for UPH students to enhance their experience on global study through Student Exchange programs, Dual Degree program which UPH establishes with international partner universities and Joint Degree program along with RMIT, where students are given the opportunity to experience an English-based learning under the auspices of two distinguished institutions in Indonesia and Australia without having to go abroad.”
