ACICIS is thrilled to be soon welcoming our next intake of semester students (“Semester 58”) to Indonesia in late January and early February 2024. There will be 22 students from 8 Australian universities, one European university and one university in the US!
We are hopeful to witness an increase in the number of participants in the next iterations of our semester programs.
