I hope that this event will be able to give the students new experiences and knowledge in order to extend their networks. Building an international network is very important for a student, as either an individual or a student of Unimus. It is especially for those willing to take a master’s program through a fast track program provided by Unimus in collaboration with the CUCMS ” he explained.

Thus, if you want to take some further study or have some other will, you know where to go” added Prof. Rifki.
Meanwhile, the Vice Dean I, in his speech, said that the event would become a part off the effective learning program in the 18th block, as a requirement to accomplish the Occupational Health course as well as support the one of the missions of the Faculty of Medicine in terms of internationalisation. “The participants will take part in all scientific activities such as presentation, lectures, field activities, and visit to some local industrial site related to occupational health, which is one of Unimus’ leading sectors” he explained.
