“The four-year journey of studying at Universitas Diponegoro was like navigating through the pages of a map guiding me to explore the complexity of knowledge and social dynamics. Throughout this journey, I not only acquired knowledge but also cherished moments, built strong relationships and seized new opportunities. Studying at Undip wasn’t just about obtaining a degree but a colourful journey that shaped me into the best version of myself.”

I realized that success isn’t solely determined by academic knowledge but also by the ability to apply and test that knowledge while understanding the dynamics in preparation for real-world challenges. So, it’s not just about being a smart book; it’s about being street-smart too! Keep that balance, and you’ll be the MVP in both arenas!” concluded Devina. (Sudanta – Undip Public Relations)
