[Malaysia] Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) AIMS Exchange Program for Spring Semester 2023 (27 March – 6 August)

Warm greetings from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)!

USM is known as the second oldest university in Malaysia, first established in 1969 as Universiti Pulau Pinang. What is unique about USM is that the university adopts the School system rather than the traditional Faculty system in order to ensure that its students are multi-disciplined from their exposure to other areas of study. As of today, USM is recognized as one of Malaysia’s Research Intensive Universities.

We are pleased to inform you that USM has opened the application for the Spring Semester Exchange Program 2023 for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
