Optimizing International Mobility of UII Faculty of Law to Brunswick European Law School
In order to optimize international mobility activities carried out by the Undergraduate Law Program of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), the Dean of the Faculty of Law, accompanied by the Head of the Undergraduate Law Program and the Department Secretary, conducted a reciprocal visit to Brunswick European Law School. The visit was held briefly from August 27–28, 2025, starting with a meeting with the International Office of Brunswick European Law School. In addition, the visit also included an inspection of student dormitories to review procedures and make direct reservations for two students who are scheduled to begin their studies in March 2025.
“This visit is a reciprocal one, as in November 2024, the Dean for International Affairs of Brunswick European Law School, Professor Achim, served as a speaker at the 2024 International Students Colloquium organized by the Undergraduate Law Program of UII Faculty of Law. Beyond the reciprocal visit, we aim to realize broader cooperation, not only in terms of student exchange but also international mobility programs, particularly inbound mobility. We hope that not only our students will study abroad, but at the same time, international students, especially from Europe, will also have the opportunity to study at our campus,” explained the Dean of UII Faculty of Law, Professor Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum.
In March 2025, two students from the International Program of the Undergraduate Law Program, Faculty of Law UII, are scheduled to participate in a Credit Transfer Program at Brunswick European Law School. Visa and residence permit applications are currently being prepared. “Previously, our program faced challenges with the visa application process for studying in Germany, which is not simple. Many documents are required, particularly regarding the blocked account and signature specimens from previous schools. This makes the process lengthy and involves multiple procedures. However, with the time available, the program now has more room to prepare. As soon as we landed in Brunswick, we immediately contacted relevant offices and managed the dormitory application for student housing. The dormitory occupancy rate in Brunswick is very high, so securing accommodation requires considerable effort,” stated Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., Head of the Undergraduate Law Program, Faculty of Law UII.
The collaboration with Brunswick European Law School will also be expanded to enable international mobility opportunities for lecturers of the Faculty of Law UII. During the visit, the Department Secretary, Syarif Nurhidayat, S.H., M.H., expressed hopes for future research collaborations or internationally certified training programs that could benefit lecturers. Brunswick also offers a variety of programs for lecturers, including German language training, post-doctoral research, and potential collaboration in teaching. The visit concluded with an exchange of souvenirs and the delivery of an official letter proposing collaboration in an international conference to be hosted by the Faculty of Law UII.
