Inspiration Meets Internationalisation: Universitas Baiturrahmah Students Begin Transformative Experience at SEGi

SEGi University recently welcomed 23 students from Universitas Baiturrahmah, Indonesia, as part of its ongoing international student mobility programme — an initiative that blends academic learning with cultural immersion and personal growth.

Their journey began with a moment of rare inspiration: witnessing the official launch of an autobiography by Kepten (R) Dato’ Emeritus Prof Dr Hashim Yaacob, a celebrated Malaysian academic and public figure. The event, officiated by YB Dato’ Seri Diraja Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, Malaysia’s Minister of Higher Education, offered the students an unforgettable encounter with resilience, leadership, and the power of storytelling. It was a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of education — both in and beyond the classroom.

This unique exposure set the tone for what promises to be a multi-dimensional learning experience. Over the coming weeks, the students will participate in a series of language classes, interactive workshops, cultural exchange activities, and excursions to some of Malaysia’s most iconic destinations, including Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, and Genting Highlands.

SEGi’s student mobility programme is designed not just to enhance academic skills, but also to cultivate global citizenship, confidence, and curiosity among participants. By welcoming students from diverse backgrounds, the university continues to foster meaningful international collaboration while promoting Malaysia as a thriving education hub in the region.

As the students from Universitas Baiturrahmah settle into their new environment, they will also engage with SEGi peers, building cross-cultural friendships and gaining insights into Malaysian life, values, and education.

More stories from this programme — including their classroom experiences, city explorations, and student reflections — will be shared in the coming weeks.

For students seeking a life-changing academic journey, this is a glimpse into what’s possible when learning crosses borders.
