Testimonial

Fang-Wei LoTaiwanThe course was a lucrative experience, it has prepared me well for my non-academic performances. Moreover, I am pretty sure that it would be useful for future opportunities. I am in love with Karimun JawaIsland.

Yu-Feng Tsai, TaiwanMy 2018 summer course in Semarang and Karimunjawaprovided me with a worthwhile hands-on experience and a better notion about the problem-solving skills in the Coastal Region.

Hikaru YamaokaJapan It was an astonishing opportunity to learn and get better understanding of Indonesia’s culture. I had a lot of friends and connections by attending this Tropical Course program. I have enjoyed the friendship and remarkably missed them.

Che-Hsun YuTaiwan Students came from countries that I have never been to. After meeting them in person, I realized that the friendship could be connected when an unfeigned communication is established. During the program, we conversed in every single situation and I love those splendid moments.

Sheng-Chieh Yeh, TaiwanIt is an irreplaceable opportunity for participants to gain practical skills and learn about the tropical country. During the program, we have done project teams by studying the real issues on site. We collaborated our knowledge with an impassioned preparation from the field for a masterpiece in the class.

Takahiro Tanaka JapanI was really afraid of the language barrier as I felt inadequate with my English compression. But at the end of the day, I could understand what we're doing throughout the program without any anxiety. The friends and committees were really helpful in assisting us. Thank you for the gorgeous committee.

Asma, MalaysiaThe team from Undip Tropical Course was very professional and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. I personally enjoyed the overall program, the diving course was truly amazing to myself. We are all happy to share insights into our lives and communities.

Pakkhanan Boonmee, ThailandThis course provided a scientific understanding of tropical areas, their biological diversity and the vital role of ocean and also its ecosystems. This course is beyond compare!

Chadamat Homnan,ThailandThis program is not only about science and chores, but we are also equipped by social skills, honour, dignity, self-worth, empathy, and realizing our own potential.

Siti Chahirah binti Saffinee, Malaysia Participants experience a wide range insight of land and water that lies between the tropics with its most diverse and productive ecosystems. This understanding makes us to be more aware about the happening issues and enables us in searching for solutions.

Nor Sabirah Najihah, MalaysiaThe people and nations of the tropics face a difficult deforestation just like us in Malaysia. By joining in this program, where agriculture is important to national economies, we learnt a lot about how to tackle with this situation.
