Study in Yogya
Yogyakarta is a historical center in Indonesia and the hub for higher learning, with around 100 universities and colleges.
The Program will be taught mainly on the campus of UGM in the city of Yogyakarta, normally just called Yogya. Admitted students from ASEAN will have the funding for two return air tickets from their homes to Yogya. All students are encouraged to use their home countries as sites for the internships and empirical data collection in the third semester, before returning to Yogya for the final thesis writing in the last part of the semester.

Yogya is a historical center in Indonesia and the hub for higher learning, with around 100 universities and colleges. The leading of them is UGM. Yogya is nick-named ‘Kota Pelajar’, the city of students. The Sultan is still the ruler of Yogyakarta Province with a population of 4 million people. Main tourist attractions are the Sultan’s Court, the ancient Buddhist and Hindu temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, Mount Merapi (volcanic tour), and Yogyakarta’s Southern Beaches.

The city is a lively and enjoyable place to live. Temperature is all-year stable around 30 degrees Celsius, and it’s easy to find cheap accommodation and restaurants on or near the university campus, which is close to the city center. MM FEB UGM has a well-established buddy system to take care of fresh incoming students, both socially and academically.
Admitted students will be provided additional information about possible accommodation alternatives and other practical matters well in advance of the study start-up.
Conditional of additional individual funding, students will also have the chance to go to Norway as students of UiA in the last semester for internship and thesis writing.
