SMU x UGM Winter Course Program

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and Singapore Management University (SMU) have a strong commitment to initiate fruitful programs. One of the outcomes is the UGM – SMU Winter Course Program which was firstly conducted in 2016. After a two-year break from collaborative activities due to the pandemic, this year, SMU and UGM agreed to revive this short course program, taking the theme of “Dynamics of Indonesian Social, Economy, and Politics”. The short course is designed to broaden the students’ perspective on the social, economic and political issues through intensive courses in class, getting to know our local businesses, and engaging in cultural activities.

This course will be open to UGM students as well. Therefore, both UGM and SMU students could exchange knowledge and have some cross-cultural interactions. Through the program, we hope that the students could learn from the Indonesian experts and businessmen as well as experience the production and distribution process to understand the whole economic activities which somehow affect the
social, economic, and political dynamics in Indonesia.
