UBSI Edutrip Exchanges Commemorative Plaques with UniKL Kuala Lumpur
The Singapore–Malaysia Edutrip programme organised by Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI) on 9–12 February 2026 strengthened academic ties through a visit to Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) on Wednesday (12 February 2026).
The exchange of plaques and souvenirs represented a gesture of appreciation for UniKL’s welcome. UBSI Edutrip Programme Coordinator Cicih Nuraeni expressed hope that the exchange would mark the beginning of broader collaboration encompassing academic partnerships as well as student and lecturer exchanges.
UniKL, for its part, warmly received the visit, stating that the plaque presentation symbolised a positive relationship expected to develop into more concrete cooperation in the future.
UBSI expanded its international academic network through the Edutrip programme, with the programme’s highlight held at UniKL’s campus on Jalan Sultan Ismail, Bandar Wawasan. The visit, attended by UBSI students and lecturers, provided participants with the opportunity to experience cross-border learning first-hand.
The edutrip itinerary also included observation of teaching and learning processes at UniKL, introduction to laboratory and digital facilities, as well as discussions on curriculum and innovative programmes.
The UBSI delegation was received by Prof. Ilham Sentosa, Ph.D. at UniKL. During a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), topics addressed included strengthening academic cooperation, joint research opportunities, postgraduate programme development, and enhancing industry-oriented curriculum quality.
The discussions were not merely ceremonial but also explored concrete follow-up potential in academic and research fields. Participants also toured the campus facilities and received briefings on postgraduate and research-based programmes offered by UniKL.
One participant, Rizki Putra Julianto, a third-semester Information Systems student at UBSI’s Kaliabang campus, shared his positive impressions. He said the visit expanded his connections and channels, whilst also providing the opportunity to meet professors at UniKL — including information on how to pursue master’s or doctoral studies there.
For UBSI, known as the Digital Creative Campus, the activity represented an important strategy for building global networks, whilst affirming the university’s position as a driver of digital innovation and student creativity.
