Student Exchange Experience From Anggung Gigih Mutawadhi
Assalammualaiikum Wr.Wb
My name is Anggung Gigih Mutawadhi. I am accounting student in Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta. My student number is 20170420021. In this opportunity, I would like to give story about the experience when I was student exchange in International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Malaysia. IIUM located in Gombak streat, Selangor, Malaysia. I took accounting course under accounting department, Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences.
When I was studying there, there were four subjects. They are Accounting Theory and Policy, Accounting Design and Information System, Accounting, Auditing, and Coorporate Governance for Islamic financial Institution. A lot of activities that I have taken such as visit bursa Malaysia, joined to technical analysis class, and also joined Model United Nation. This activites were taken outside from activities in the class.
When I went to Bursa Malaysia, I got something new about the mechanism of trading CPO (Crude Palm Oil). Because as we know, Malaysia is one of the biggest country that produce CPO. I was very interesting about this one, because I was imaging someday Indonesia can do the same way about this mechanism. As we know Indonesia has lot of commodities. The other activities that I took is technical analysis class. This class taught about how to use technical analysis for making decision for investment stock or commodities. It is very helpful for trader or investor before deciding decision. And the last one activities is Model United Nation, Model United Nation is a activities that require us to become delegates from some country. From this activities, I learn how to solve the problem provided based on some countries perspective.
Actually, student exchange is the best opportunity for us to get something new. We will learn about the culture from some country and compare it with Indonesia. We also learned how to be responsible and discipline. Because of IIUM is Islamic University, so it helped us to be better in ibadah, such as solat, reciting the holy Quran, and the knowing about islam because sometimes there are agendas about discussing history of islam. The biggest challenges when we were studying exchange is how to be adaption with new environment. But this challenges are nothing, when we have big motivation for struggling.
