Yuk Ke Bandung! Exploring Culture and Friendship in the TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025
From April 25–29, 2025, Telkom University proudly hosted 40 students and 1 supervisor from Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Malaysia, in the TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 — a week-long cultural and academic journey designed to build bridges between nations.
The TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 kicked off with a meaningful volunteering activity at Griya Harapan Difabel. Students spent the day connecting with the local disabled community — a powerful experience that reflected the heart and soul of this cross-border program. Thanks to Telkom University’s PPM team, the impact of this day will be remembered for years to come.
The cultural spirit of the TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 continued with a vibrant exchange session at SMK Telkom. Here, Malaysian and Indonesian students shared stories, traditions, and laughter, breaking down cultural barriers through music, language, and food. These authentic connections are at the core of what makes the TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 so special.
At Telkom University’s campus, participants joined various sessions and student-led activities, forming new friendships while learning about each other’s backgrounds. The TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 isn’t just about education — it’s about building global networks and cultural empathy.
Off-campus, the group explored the charm of Bandung through visits to Museum Gedung Sate and Saung Angklung Udjo. These cultural landmarks allowed participants to dive deeper into Sundanese heritage and arts — a highlight of the TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025.
Throughout the week, students embraced the values of openness, curiosity, and friendship. The TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 proved once again that international collaboration creates lasting impact not just academically, but personally.
With every handshake, shared meal, and group laugh, the TelU x UTP Collaborative Short Course 2025 built memories that go far beyond a typical short course.
