Yogyakarta, Augst 2025 — Yogyakarta State University (UNY) once again makes a brilliant achievement through one of its students. Muhammad Efflin Rizqallah Limbong, from the Information Technology study program, Department of Electronic and Informatics Engineering Education, has successfully passed the rigorous selection process for a student exchange program at the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW) Karlsruhe, Germany.

DHBW Karlsruhe is a leading university in Germany that implements a dual education system (theory and practice) with a strong focus on close collaboration with industry partners. DHBW Karlsruhe offers various courses in English for international students, particularly in the fields of Engineering, Computer Science, and Business. Additionally, students have the opportunity to attend intensive German language courses and cultural activities that support their integration into the new environment.

Efflin’s success doesn't stop there. This high-achieving student has also been awarded the prestigious STIBET scholarship, which is managed by DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) and channeled through DHBW Karlsruhe. This scholarship is tangible proof of Efflin's dedication and hard work, and it paves the way for his study abroad experience without financial constraints.

During the exchange program, Muhammad Efflin Rizqallah Limbong will undertake a full semester, namely the Winter Semester (September 1 – February 28). The program will begin with a two-week orientation and intensive German language course. Afterward, he will focus on his studies for the first four months (September–December), taking relevant courses in his field of Information Technology, such as Web Engineering, Database, Fundamentals of Cybersecurity, and Software Engineering. In the last two months (January–February), Efflin will participate in additional lectures, a special project, and an internship. Furthermore, Efflin will also be actively involved in social and cultural activities in Karlsruhe to strengthen the bond between students and the Indonesian community in Germany.

As part of its internationalization efforts, UNY continuously encourages its students to participate in exchange programs, academic collaborations, and global partnerships. Efflin's departure to Germany is a clear testament to UNY's commitment to producing globally competitive graduates.

The study opportunity earned by Muhammad Efflin in Karlsruhe, Germany, is a first step toward broadening his academic horizons and cross-cultural understanding. Through Yogyakarta State University's international cooperation program, Efflin is prepared to embark on a global learning experience that will enrich his academic and personal perspectives in an international setting.
