The delegation sought AIT’s partnership in offering Master’s and doctoral programs to Indonesian students, offering English language bridging program, and help in guiding doctoral students to publish in reputed international journals.

AIT’s Vice President for Academic Affairs, Prof. Sivanappan Kumar stated that AIT is in a good position to offer support in all three aspects. Prof. Kumar highlighted that besides offering Master’s and Doctoral degree programs, AIT also offers other programs that could be beneficial to DIKTI scholars. This includes Master’s program leading to Ph.D., which students can complete in five years.
