2026 KOREATECH-UTHM Internship Mobility Programme | Trip to Sungai Balang
From 15-16 July 2026, students from Korea University of Technology and Education (KOREATECH) embarked on a meaningful cultural and community experience in Sungai Balang, Muar, Johor as part of the KOREATECH-UTHM Student Mobility Programme.
The two-day programme brought together cultural immersion, heritage, innovation, and community engagement, giving students the opportunity to experience the local way of life while connecting with the Sungai Balang community.
Students explored the local heritage and community lifestyle through activities including mangrove exploration, mussel farming, traditional food preparation, heritage activities, and cultural experiences at Sarang Buaya Homestay. The journey continued with a visit to the Community Innovation Hub (Ruang Daya Cipta – RDC Muar), followed by visits to Sungai Gersik Hot Spring, Kg. Parit Bugis, Sungai Balang Rice Fields & Living Lab, and other local community initiatives.
The programme created opportunities more than just a visit for cross-cultural learning, knowledge exchange, community engagement, and meaningful friendships between Malaysian and Korean students.
A heartfelt appreciation to all partners, communities, and UTHM teams who contributed to making this experience possible. Together, we continue to create mobility experiences that cross cultures and inspire the future.

This is not just a visit. This is UTHM Togetherness.
Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) was honoured to welcome a delegation from Walisongo State Islamic University (UIN Walisongo), Semarang, Indonesia, for an official visit on 4–5 August 2026.
The programme began with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) discussion involving the Centre for Diploma Studies (PPD) and the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology (FAST). Throughout the visit, the delegation also toured the laboratories of the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology (FSKTM) and the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Built Environment (FKAAB), providing opportunities for knowledge exchange and future collaboration.
As part of the experience, the students participated in Edutrail@UTHM, one of UTHM’s EduTourism packages, and competed in the International Innovation and Invention Competition (IICE) hosted by the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (FKEE).
More than just an official visit, this programme showcased the spirit of UTHM togetherness—where faculties, centres, and offices came together with one shared purpose: strengthening international collaboration and creating meaningful global impact.
The International Office extends its heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed to the success of this visit.
Thank you
