Register Now — Seats Close 5 October 2026!!

What You'll Experience

Nine faculties in a week OR twelve days program with additional visit to Singapore and Malaysia! You choose.

Most students pick a major with a two-line course description and a guess. We give you something better: nine real classes, taught by real IUP UGM lecturers, across the fields you're actually deciding between.

  • 90–120 minute sessions — short lectures, real case studies, and hands-on activities designed for high schoolers, not university freshmen
  • 9 departments from 9 faculties — Social and Political Sciences, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Business & Economics, Law, Veterinary Medicines, Psychology, Engineering, Mathematics & Natural Sciences
  • Taught by IUP lecturers — the same lecturers teaching UGM's English-medium international undergraduate tracks

You won't just hear about these programs. You'll sit in the room.

Is This Program Right for You?

This Program is built for students who haven't decided yet

It is for you if:

  • You're in High School, anywhere in ASEAN, any grade.
  • You have no idea what to major in — or three ideas and no way to test them.
  • You want to know what studying at an international-standard program actually feels like, not just read about it.

What every parent asks first

  • Supervision: 1 CESASS liaison officer per 15 students, plus a faculty member at all times
  • Insurance: International travel insurance included for every participant (Package B)
  • Check-ins: Roll call at every location change and before every departure
  • Communication: Separate WhatsApp group for parents and students
  • Documents required: Valid passport (7+ months), parental consent (download here), school permission letter (download here), medical certificate (free form), return ticket to & from Yogyakarta (Package A) or from Singapore (Package B - you can submit it after discussing the schedule with our team member)

Your child is never unsupervised, and you're never out of the loop.

  • A certificate of participation
  • First-hand exposure to 9 faculties and 5 top ASEAN universities in Singapore and Malaysia

  • New friends and colleagues
