Unpri Rector Prof. Dr. Djacobus Tarigan AAI DAAK told reporters on Thursday (20/8) that the Unisza delegation led by Unisza Vice Rector 1 Prof. Dato and his entourage including Dr. Mohd Razali Agus, Unisza Postgraduate Director Prof. Dr. Mustafa Mamat, and Puan Hairu Haryana Mamat were welcomed in a family atmosphere.

Unpri Rector Prof. Dr. Djacobus accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Unpri Prof.dr. Yulitas Bactiar, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry Unpri Prof. drg Monang Panjaitan and the Unpri rectorate staff in the Multipurpose Hall on the 5th floor of the Royal Prima Hospital, Jalan Ayahanda Medan, Wednesday (19/8).

Unpri International Cooperation Head Teng Sauh Hwee SE MSi expressed his hope that the agreement would provide direct and real benefits for the development of both parties, as providers of quality education. This was welcomed by the Vice Rector I of Unisza, Prof. Dato. Dr. Mohd Razali Agus. According to him, the most important thing from the agreement made is the practical follow-up in the future, not only stopping at the MoU, so that later the academic community and the Unpri structure will be invited to come directly to visit the Unisza campus in Kuala Trengganu and the International Campus for postgraduate programs in Kuala Lumpur.

Prof. Dato. Dr. Mohd Razali Agus also explained that Unisza is a relatively new university with state status, managed by the Malaysian Government. He also offered alumni and Unpri academic staff to continue their Masters and Doctoral studies at Unisza where currently the Tuition Fee (SPP) at Unisza is the lowest in Malaysia.

Unisza has 10 Faculties and 2 Research Centers. Currently, there are around 700 postgraduate students from various countries studying for their Masters and Doctoral degrees at Unisza. In the warm discussion, both parties also agreed to hold student exchange programs, international seminars and cooperation in the field of research development.

Unpri is expected to become a center for quality education, especially in Medan City and North Sumatra in general, which are geographically quite close to neighboring countries, such as Malaysia and Singapore, which have been much more advanced in the field of education. Because there will be many opportunities and chances in the future to establish more and quality cooperation with various universities in the ASEAN region in the next few years.
