Indonesia


Numerous ups and some downs on the average, permanent growth and development

Cultures of Southeast Asia and Europe are different required the partners to learn and adapt

educational system, academic structure and operation and style of teaching appeared similar

many differences became obvious

Ever-growing understanding led to stable cooperation motivated partners to develop new joint activities

Lessons learnt 1/3


• The close collaboration did need time to develop, resulting from experience

• In eye-level collaboration between UKM and UDE, partners need to constantly discuss and define common goals

• Some obstacles and setbacks may exist, but if the partners believe in their goals, they can adapt, try again and finally reach a higher level of academic quality

Lessons learnt 2/3


1. The most important elements in a partnership are • committed academicians on both sides and • ample time to learn and develop the partnership

2. The major challenge in a partnership is success....

• The large number of mobile students forced the partners to look for more funding and services

• However, this challenge is welcome as positive feedback and engine for further developments

Lessons learnt 3/3


• Offer a continuous stream of courses from Bachelor’s degree to PhD in technical education

• Include German teaching traditions and values in engineering sciences

• Strengthen the unity between teaching and research • Link Malaysia and Germany through Double Degree and

Exchange Programmes a) to increase mutual cultural awareness and b) generate more economic and business opportunities
