[restab title=”Alumni Testimonial”]

“It is a privilege to be a student at the UGM IKM under a WHO / TDR scholarship. The best faculties and supportive learning environments greatly broaden my horizons regarding research in the field of public health. Guest lecturers from various international level universities, exposure on the field both nationally and internationally, are the best learning methods that I experienced as a UGM student. I also experienced interesting learning and sharing experiences as a student representing UGM in presenting the results of research at the WHO / TDR workshop in Geneva. Thanks to the guidance of lecturers at UGM, I can publish my research articles in international peer-reviewed journals, which not only develop abilities in publications but also provide opportunities to discuss other articles in the journal. The two years at UGM were extraordinary, giving me a way to become a TB and cigarette research consultant in Nepal. ”
