Very proud! Nailah, a student in the third semester of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law UII, has successfully passed to take part in the Student Exchange under the scheme of MBKM Program at the Bachelor of Law Study Program, Faculty of Law, Hasanuddin University. Nailah will study for 1 semester and after that will convert the courses she took in Makassar to the Undergraduate Study Program in Law.

Nailah’s journey began because of advice from her cousin who was a participant in the Student Exchange batch 2 (PMM 2) at the University of Papua. Nailah was very interested in this program because she thought about when else she would be able to explore the vast land of Indonesia and get to know the cultural diversity that existed in the place where she would study for one semester. Apart from that, he wants to have friends from all over the archipelago who of course have different characteristics. When she received news that PMM batch 3 would open, Nailah immediately looked for information through her cousin and the UII website. He researched and read carefully what he could find from the UII website regarding the program

However, it is a shame that PMM information is still very minimal on the UII website.S he only received information such as the recommendation to meet the DPA and Head of the Study Program first to discuss the program before registering. Never giving up, Nailah remained enthusiastic and started looking for information through her social media. Long story short, PMM 3 registration opened, that’s where Nailah started to get busy going back and forth to campus to take care of the necessary documents. At that time, preparations were very tight considering that Nailah was going back to Riau to welcome Eid with her beloved family.

After much thought, Nailah decided to choose Hasanuddin University as her first choice and thank God she passed. After that, he started to contact Mrs. Ayunita Nur Rohanawati, S.H., M.H. as DPA and facing back to the Head of the UII Undergraduate Legal Study Program, namely Mr. Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D. what courses can be taken at UNHAS later and contact Mr Muhammad Arief Sateio Kinady, A.Md. who is the Head of the Academic Administration Division. It was at this stage that Nailah began to feel doubtful about whether she should continue with this program or not, this was caused by her confusion because she felt that the campus also did not understand this program. However, with the remaining enthusiasm he decided to continue until the end. He believes there will be something beautiful with all his hard work so far. It turned out to be true, he felt many benefits from the program.

While at UNHAS, Nailah experienced a very new environment. The learning system at UNHAS is very different from UII, where UNHAS uses a team teaching system for all its courses. At UNHAS, Nailah took 6 courses, namely Administrative Court Procedural Law, Constitutional Court Procedural Law, Civil Procedural Law and Civil Justice Practice, Supervision Law, Law and Human Rights and Agrarian Law with a total of 21 credits including the Nusantara Module which is a Compulsory Subject of this program.

While undergoing this program, it is the memories spent with friends that really leave a lasting impression on my heart. Where we meet new people who of course have their own characteristics and characteristics in a short time. Memories of the excitement and tiredness of walking home from college to save costs and going for walks around Makassar City together. PMM teaches us to become more tolerant humans in various things, indirectly also teaches us what it means to be grateful for the scenario that God has set for our lives. After this program is finished, which is around December, Nailah will be even more daring to try things that will definitely have a positive impact on her life

She thanks to Mrs. Ayu and Mr. Kinady who were willing to answer various questions regarding the conversion system. As well as thanks to Mr Dodik who has been very supportive in various matters regarding Nailah’s participation in this program.

“Corporate Law and IPR Under the UK Legal System” is the theme presented by General Lecturer Dr. Nadia Naim on Wednesday (26/7), taking place in the East Wing of the Stage Room, 3rd Floor, Faculty of Law (FH) Building, Indonesian Islamic University (UII). The Public Lecture was held as part of the initiation of the Faculty of Law at the Islamic University of Indonesia.

Dr. Nadia Naim works as a Senior Lecturer at Aston Law School, Aston University, Birmingham UK. He is an academic responsible for areas including Intellectual Property Rights, International Intellectual Property Policy and Development, and Islamic Finance and International Trade. “Aston University, especially the Law School, has an orientation towards Business and Trade Law. This is so that our students have an entrepreneurial spirit so that they can create jobs. Moreover, the UK ranks fourth (4th) in the global innovation index which to enter into rank 4 must meet 80 indicators and one of these indicators is the IPR. Apart from that, interest in Islamic Finance Law in England is also increasing,” explained Nadia in her presentation.

The public lecture lasted 90 minutes and was attended by more than 50 students. The speaker was accompanied by the Head of the Law Study Program at the Faculty of Law (FH) at the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII), namely Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph. D. together with the Secretary of the Law Study Program International Program FH UII Dr. Aroma Elmina Martha, S.H., M.H. “The World Intellectual Property Organization deals with RIGHTS on an international scale to standardize intellectual protection. IPR legal standards throughout the world refer to the standards set by IPR. The requirements for obtaining a copyright are proving its originality, fulfilling the product category that can be copyrighted, ensuring that the product is tangible. So a person can become a Creator if the results of his creation meet the three categories above. he explained.

The series of Public Lecture events were interspersed with discussion activities between Dr. Nadia with the Dean of FH UII and several high-ranking officials of FH UII discussed the potential for collaboration between FH UII and Aston University in developing international mobility and research activities between the two parties. In addition, Nadia had the opportunity to tour the ancient site of Kimpulan Temple in the middle of the Indonesian Islamic University Library area, and enjoy the beauty of Borobudur Temple, Mount Merapi, Malioboro Street, and shop at Batik Hamzah.

Sleman, law.uii.ac.id – Postgraduate Law Master’s Program, Faculty of Law, Islamic University of Indonesia (MH UII) is committed to continuing its endeavours in increasing scientific knowledge, one of which is by holding General Lectures by academics and practitioners who are experts in their fields. This Public Lecture which was held on Wednesday (26/7) with Dr. Nadia Naim Senior Lecturer from Aston Law School, Aston University, Birmingham UK. Nadia hosted the Public Lecture with the theme “IPR Based on Law and Development Perspective” at the Stage Room, East Wing, Lt. 3 Building of the Faculty of Law, Islamic University of Indonesia at 09.00 – 11.00 WIB and was attended by more than 50 students of the Law Master’s Program at the Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia.

Nadia Naim in her presentation explained that with Intellectual Property Rights, one can monetize and get rewards from innovations made. Talking about IPR means talking about new ideas, then these ideas are implemented into a product. So it is necessary to have IPR to protect the right to create the product and to guarantee confidentiality in the manufacture of a product. “In Europe, every item or work has obtained its IPR by registering the documents that support the manufacture of the item or work, then the work will receive 70 years of IPR which is still valid even after the creator of the work dies,” he said.

Furthermore, Head of the UII Law Faculty of Law Study Program, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D. conveyed in his speech that students need the insertion of comparative knowledge. “Students will not only deal with domestic problems, because now there are many influences from outside. We adopt IPR from the TRIPS Agreement from the Franchise Agreement, we all adopt it from the practices of foreign companies in Indonesia.” he concluded. In this case, Dodik became the moderator and helped with the translation during the General Lecturer.
