This visit aims to be a step for FKIP UHAMKA in opening up many opportunities for its students to learn and enter directly into the world of work. Here, students will not only receive provision in the form of academic knowledge, but will also be educated to grow as individuals who are spiritually strong, intellectually intelligent, emotionally tough, and able to care about the social environment. The hope is that they will not only be prepared to face global competition, but can also bring positive change and contribute to the communities in which they live.
