Summer Course Program with National University of Singapore (NUS)
The Summer Course Program at the Faculty of Administrative Science, Universitas Indonesia, is designed to provide an enriching educational experience for participants from various universities.

This year, the program aims to foster intellectual exchange, cultural immersion, and hands-on expert learning through a series of well-structured activities and events. This program is designed to facilitate a one-stop student-centered multicultural learning. The theme for this batch is “Governing Cross-Country Policy Problem: Case of Indonesia’s Transboundary Haze”. The chosen theme represent one of common concerns of Indonesia and Singapore.

Batik is an Indonesian traditional technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to the fabric. Rooted in Javanese culture, it has been going through an acculturation process and spread across the country’s archipelago. Since 2 October 2009, batik has been recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity from Indonesia. The date is thus celebrated as the National Batik Day. Participants of this program will learn more about batik and experience how to do membatik from Jawa Jawi Java Studio.
