Semarang, September 27, 2025 – Ahmad Wahyu Saputra, a student from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Universitas Diponegoro, has been selected to participate in an international student exchange program at the University of Pécs, Hungary. The five-month program commenced on September 1, 2025, and will run until January 25, 2026, spanning the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year.

As an exchange student, Ahmad is enrolled in three core courses within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, totalling 24 credits:

• Geography of Elections (8 credits), which examines political distributions, voter behavior, and electoral dynamics across various countries.
• Latin America from the Cold War up to the Present (8 credits), which analyzes the political, economic, and social history of Latin America from the Cold War era to contemporary times.
• Geopolitics (8 credits), which explores the influence of geography on international relations, global political strategy, and world power dynamics.

During the program, Ahmad is not only focused on his academic pursuits but is also actively participating in various cultural and international social activities organized by the host university. These events involve students from numerous countries, providing Ahmad with the opportunity to introduce Indonesian culture, interact with a global community, and expand his academic and social networks.

“This exchange opportunity is incredibly valuable for me. Beyond studying global political issues from an international perspective, I can also share Indonesian culture with students from around the world. This experience broadens my horizons and inspires me to continue developing myself,” stated Ahmad Wahyu Saputra.

This student exchange program aligns with the vision of Universitas Diponegoro’s FISIP to become a World-Class University, as it supports the institution’s internationalization efforts, expands its global network, and enhances students’ academic and social competencies. Ahmad’s participation at the University of Pécs is expected to serve as an example and motivation for other students to actively seek overseas learning opportunities and become ambassadors for their nation on the international stage.***
