Politeknik Negeri Jember (POLIJE) proudly announces that one of its outstanding students, Marsha Amanda Nairah, has been selected to participate in the Exchange Program Scholarship for the 2026 Spring Semester at Prefectural University of Hiroshima (PUH), Japan. This achievement reflects the growing international engagement of POLIJE and its commitment to preparing globally competitive students.

Marsha Amanda Nairah, a student from the Renewable Energy Engineering Study Program, earned the opportunity through the academic cooperation between POLIJE and PUH. The program is scheduled to take place from 1 April 2026 until 23 September 2026, providing Marsha with nearly six months of international academic and cultural experience in Japan

This exchange program is part of the institutional collaboration established between POLIJE and PUH under their academic partnership framework. The cooperation aims to strengthen educational and academic relations through student exchange, research collaboration, and intercultural learning opportunities. Through this initiative, both institutions seek to promote mutual understanding and academic excellence on a global scale

Marsha’s selection is a proud milestone not only for her personally, but also for the Renewable Energy Engineering Study Program and the broader POLIJE academic community. Her participation demonstrates the capability of POLIJE students to compete and thrive in international academic environments while representing Indonesia with confidence and professionalism.

During her time at PUH, Marsha is expected to engage in various academic activities that will broaden her knowledge, strengthen her technical skills, and deepen her global perspective. In addition to attending courses, the exchange program is expected to provide exposure to Japan’s academic culture, research environment, and educational innovation, especially in areas relevant to her field of study.

The scholarship is fully supported by Prefectural University of Hiroshima (PUH), Japan, showing the strong trust and commitment between the two institutions in fostering meaningful international academic mobility. Such support also enables students to focus on learning, cultural exchange, and professional growth throughout the program period

POLIJE views this international exchange as a strategic opportunity to enrich student learning outcomes and to further strengthen its internationalization agenda. The institution hopes that students participating in overseas programs will return with valuable academic insights, cross-cultural experiences, and new perspectives that can contribute to campus development and wider community advancement in Indonesia

According to the official proposal submitted for overseas academic travel, the exchange is expected to bring long-term academic benefits, including the exchange of academic materials, research outcomes, publications, and educational practices. It also aligns with POLIJE’s mission to encourage innovation, collaboration, and international exposure among its students and academic staff

The success of Marsha Amanda Nairah in securing this scholarship serves as an inspiration for other POLIJE students to pursue international opportunities and continuously strive for academic excellence. Her journey to Japan marks another meaningful step in POLIJE’s efforts to build a globally connected and future-ready academic community.

POLIJE extends its warmest congratulations to Marsha Amanda Nairah and wishes her success in representing the institution at Prefectural University of Hiroshima. Her participation is expected to become a valuable contribution to the strengthening of international cooperation and educational exchange between Indonesia and Japan.
