Carrying the spirit of collaboration and international experience, twelve students from the Faculty of Sports Sciences (FIK), Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) are set to participate in the International Student Exchange Program at the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports and Health, Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand. The program will take place from October 6–18, 2025, in Bangkok.
The twelve students were officially released by the Vice Dean for Student Affairs of FIK UNNES, Dr. Sri Haryono, M.Or., in a ceremony held at the FIK Dean’s Office on Friday, October 3, 2025. In his remarks, Dr. Sri Haryono expressed his appreciation and hopes that the students would take full advantage of this opportunity to gain broader knowledge, academic experience, and international networks in the field of sports sciences.
This student exchange program is the result of a long-standing collaboration between the Faculty of Sports Sciences, UNNES, and Srinakharinwirot University. During their two-week stay in Thailand, students will engage in various academic and cultural activities, including lectures, workshops, field visits, and cultural exchanges related to sports and health.
