The FEBI UIN Sunan Kalijaga-Wuxi Institute China Exchange Student Program for 2023 has been in progress for one semester. The closing ceremony was held on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at the School of International Education Building, WXIT. The ceremony was led directly by Professor Zhou Guijin as the President of the School of International Education, Wuxi Institute of Technology. Professor Zhou Guijin symbolically handed out certificates and academic transcripts to each student, as proof of their achievements over this period.

The program aims to deepen understanding and cooperation in financial management practices, serving as evidence of the power of international cooperation and academic exchange. Through a combination of lectures and workshops, students gained valuable insights into various aspects of Financial Management. Additionally, the program facilitated cultural exchange for students both inside and outside the classroom, such as cultural visits, social activities, and cultural practices, allowing Master of Islamic Economics (MES) students, Muh Afdhal Mubarak AS and Zahra Irma Rahmawati, to directly engage with Chinese cultural practices.

Throughout the program, students were encouraged to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios through case studies and simulations. This practical approach not only deepened the students’ understanding of financial management principles, but also equipped them with practical skills applicable in their future professional careers.

The program was more than just a physical journey between countries, but also an intellectual one that enriched the students’ comprehension of global contexts and cross-cultural dynamics. Through various academic discussions and collaborative projects, the students were able to explore relevant issues in finance and management, as well as gain deeper insight into Chinese cultural perspectives.

In conclusion, the Exchange Program stands as evidence of the power of education, collaboration, and cultural exhange in driving positive change and building a brighter future for the next generation. As students part ways, they carry not only fresh knowledge and skills, but also the bonds of friendship, the exchange of ideas, and collective support, all of which are priceless elements of this journey. By implementing these learnings in their careers and daily lives, students can contribute significantly to the development of a more inclusive and sustainable society.
