“This was a great experience to gain an insight into a local Indonesian designer. Business is greatly altered in different countries and it is a monumental opportunity to learn from the owners. I am very appreciative for the opportunity and the chance to meet my internship supervisor, Yunita. I am very happy that I approached the International Office in order to complete this experience. Having the opportunity to be a fly on the wall in a unique, Indonesian business, will forever be an invaluable experience.” Shelley Hughes, Queensland University of Technology (Intern, 2016) |

“First, I want to say thank you to the Film program for giving me opportunity to do my internship in BINUS. It was a great experience because the experience let me see how BINUS website works out and learn something new from my course which is about films and the production. I met Miss Azalia Primadita, who is an awesome and amazing person. Thank you BINUS for the opportunity! It really helps me out for my future.” Siti Nur Rashiddah Binti Abdul Razak, Universiti Teknologi MARA (Intern, 2015) |
