Indonesia Study Abroad Program

This program, which was launched recently, is centered in and around Jakarta and offers a diverse range of exchanges, cultural experiences, and site tours including visits to a variety of institutions.

At one university, our students deliver a presentation about MPNU and Japanese culture. They then participate in specialist nursing meetings, such as public health, and exercises, even accompanying nurses on house visits to see patients. At another school, our students attend a study session for Indonesian nurses preparing to take the Japanese National Nursing Examination. Students then interact with Japanese volunteers who are assisting in the preparation of Indonesian nurses.

Students usually visit Indonesian medical sites, such as hospitals, where they are given a tour of the facility and then interact with hospital personnel. The MPNU group also often attends Japanese language classes, where they share about themselves and Japanese culture.

Students have visited the National History Museum, Indonesian cultural areas, and botanical garden as part of the cultural exchanges and experiences. They have also attended the Jakarta Japan Festival and visited one of Jakarta’s most well-known mosques.
