Learning Without Borders: FIB Unpad’s Global Academic Initiatives

Jatinangor, September 3rd 2025 — Over the past three years, the Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB) at Universitas Padjadjaran has hosted over 60 guest lectures and lecture series featuring international lecturers, researchers, and professionals from around the world. These sessions have become an invaluable platform for students and staff to engage with diverse perspectives, explore new ideas, and stay connected to global academic conversations.

Covering topics ranging from literature, linguistics, and cultural studies to history and contemporary global issues, each lecture provides participants with the opportunities to broaden their knowledge while sharpening critical thinking skills and deepening cross-cultural understanding.

By making these lectures accessible not only to students but also to the wider community, FIB Unpad fosters an inclusive learning environment that bridges cultures and disciplines. The collaboration with global experts and partner institutions ensure participants gain access to world-class insights—without ever leaving campus.

Beyond bringing world-class expertise to Jatinangor, FIB Unpad also consistently welcomes exchange students from around the globe. These students immerse themselves in Indonesian studies, focusing on Sundanese culture and the Indonesian language. At the same time, FIB Unpad empowers its local students to study abroad at partner universities, encouraging them to gain global perspectives and develop a truly international mindset.

This consistent effort reflects FIB Unpad’s dedication and commitment to creating a vibrant academic atmosphere where learning goes beyond the classroom, inspiring students to embrace lifelong learning and global engagement.
