What Students Did, Thought & Their Feedback

The learning and self-improvement I have experienced in Indonesia has been luar biasa, and far more than what could occur in a university classroom in Australia.

Anonymous respondent in the Student Feedback Survey

ACICIS was thrilled to have hosted 21 students from 8 Australian universities, along with participants from a university in the UK and another in the US during our Semester 58 programs in Indonesia from February to June 2024. We are incredibly proud of the positive feedback and appreciation the students have shared about our programs. Notably, 12 out of the 21 students were recipients of the prestigious New Colombo Plan (NCP) mobility grants from the Australian Government and 2 were New Colombo Plan scholars.

Upon concluding the program, students are invited to partake in an anonymous survey aimed at obtaining constructive feedback regarding their ACICIS semester experience. 20 out of the 21 participants (95%) shared their insights through the survey. The below graphics represent the valuable feedback we received.

100 % of respondents said they would recommend ACICIS to other students at their university!
