All TU students are required to submit an online form before going abroad whether the trip\u00a0is for an official program or otherwise.
\nDuring discussions between UTM International and its TU visitors, it was highlighted\u00a0that the University of Tsukuba would very much like to welcome students from UTM for an exchange program in Japan. Additionally,\u00a0the Vice President of TU, Professor Dr. Caroline Benton is also\u00a0very keen to develop a double degree program with UTM through UTM MJIIT.
\nWhile on campus, the TU team was also taken on\u00a0a short tour to UTM Institute of Bioproduct Development (IBD) and\u00a0Raja Zarith Sofiah (PRZS) library. They were also taken on a short trip to Iskandar Puteri.
