Unika Atma Jaya Formally Partnering with Le Havre Normandy University in the Education Sector


Jakarta, April 3 2023 - Indonesia has established cooperations with various countries in a bid to improve the education sector and provide the younger generation the opportunities to take part in programs that allow them to become global citizens, exposing them to the international world and strengthening their networking and skills. One of such countries is France.

 

On Monday (3/4), the delegates from Le Havre Normandy University, led by Prof. Thierry Tabbelion as the Deputy Director of International Affairs of Institut Universitaire de Technology who was accompanied by Karine Delforge and Helene Le Roux, visited Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia to further discuss the partnerships that have been established for approximately 3 years. This event was followed by the Cultural Seminar held in Yustinus Building 14th Floor, Unika Atma Jaya, which was opened directly by the Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration and Communication Studies (FIABIKOM) of Unika Atma Jaya, Dr. Eko Widodo.




“It is an honour for Unika Atma Jaya to be able to partner with Institut Universitaire de Technology, one of the reputable universities in France,” suggested Eko Widodo in his remarks.

 

Furthermore, he hoped that students can garner more experience, learn both the culture and academic life and expand their networking, all of which will benefit their future, notably through the student exchange programs as the core of this partnership.

 

The Head of the Communication Studies Study Program of FIABIKOM, Prof. Dr. Dorien Kartikawangi, also expressed her gratitude for the mutual partnership. “We are glad to have the opportunity to collaborate with Le Havre Normandy University as this will benefit our students who are interested in studying and broadening their knowledge in France.”




In his Cultural Seminar or guest lecture, Prof. Thierry elaborated that Institut Universitaire de Technology (UIT) Le Havre Normandy University opens 10 majors and that those taking the Bachelor’s Degree can finish their study in just 3 years. He further added that during the study, all courses except International Affairs will be delivered in French.




Luh Anik Mayani, the representative of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in France and one of the lecturers at the Master’s Program of Applied English Linguistics of Unika Atma Jaya from 2017 to 2019, was also present virtually.

 

She totally supported the collaboration between Unika Atma Jaya and IUT Le Havre. “This is particularly because Le Havre is one of the well-noted partners for KBRI Paris,” added Luh Anik Mayani.

 

The President of Le Havre Normandy University, Prof. Pedro Lages Dos Santos also affirmed his support towards the partnership between Unika Atma Jaya and Le Havre. “This partnership can eventually benefit the academic growth of the students, particularly in the disciplines of communication as well as business and marketing.”








The Cultural Seminar concluded with the MoU signing by the two counterparts, and it is hoped that both can establish a well-maintained, active and mutually beneficial partnership, supporting not only inter-university cooperation but also the bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and France.
