On May 25, 2021, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in collaboration with National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Overseas Hub will be hosting a webinar titled “International Strategies on Student Mobility in the Era of a Global Pandemic”

This unprecedented health crisis has changed the landscape of prior perspectives on internalization and has caused substantial shifts in the physical international student mobility. Higher Education Institutions are required to find ways in adapting to the new norm in ensuring the continuity of these activities. During these travel restriction periods, virtual alternative programs are being actively designed to allow students from different parts of the world to participate in their area of interests.

In this webinar, we will be discussing the challenges of student mobility in the era of global pandemic trends, international strategies and approaches for successful virtual mobility programs as well as ways of addressing the challenges in the short term and beyond.  

The webinar will be held on Tuesday, 25th May 2021 from 10.00 am (Kuala Lumpur, GMT +8) using the Zoom platform.
