Aldin Ulil Amri Ramadhan is one of the outstanding graduates of Muhammadiyah Malang University (UMM), who has successfully gained extensive international experience throughout his studies. He, who will graduate on November 21, mentions that setting high, systematic goals is one of the keys to his success in both academic and non-academic fields. In addition, he has also been active in non-academic areas, such as serving as the first president of the UMM Golf Student Activity Unit (UKM).
With strong determination, Aldin began his international academic journey in the first semester of his studies. The COVID-19 pandemic did not hinder his strong commitment to learning.

"Although Malaysia is a neighboring country, I learned a lot about the learning culture, such as the education system, psychological perspectives on various issues, and approaches to counseling problems. This also became an interesting cultural difference to explore further," said the Psychology graduate candidate.
Moving to the blue continent of Europe, the man from Lumajang successfully participated in a work internship program at the Embassy in Prague, Czech Republic, for several months. There, he gained valuable insights into international diplomacy between countries. Interestingly, he not only studied in his field of expertise but also had the opportunity to experience various diplomatic attaché positions, including political attaché, cultural attaché, and economic attaché. Through these experiences, he claimed to have undergone multiple changes, both personally, expanding his worldview, and academically.
"Not only academically, but I also gained many connections during my time in Prague. One of the highlights was the opportunity to communicate and interact directly with various Indonesian diplomatic figures, such as members of the Indonesian National Parliament (DPRD RI), the Provincial Parliament of Sumatra, and many ambassadors from around the world who collaborated with the Czech Republic. This also included several associations from Indonesia working with the tourism sector there," he added.
He expressed being impressed and deeply appreciative of the cultural differences of each country he had visited. Based on his experiences, the countries he visited placed great importance on mental health well-being, as well as flexibility and discipline in various matters.
