The Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada (Faperta UGM), continues to strengthen its commitment to the internationalization of education through the ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) program. Asayari Puspita Gutama, a 2023 student of the Agronomy Study Program, had the opportunity to participate in a student exchange at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT), Japan, for approximately 3.5 months, from September to December 2025.

During her time at TUAT, Asayari enrolled in 18 courses totaling 18 credits, as the system there assigns 1 credit for each course taken by exchange students. She noted that the learning system was quite different from Indonesia, particularly because many courses were accompanied by field visits.
