They will also learn some about the fascinating history of Indonesia.
The university is also about to start a Study Tour Program so students from other universities will be able to visit many places of historical, and general interest in Indonesia. They will be escorted on these tours by selected PU Indonesian students. Please see the brochures on the website for more details of these programs.
