Description

“Learn & Teach” is an internship program created by the University of Muhammadiyah Malang for foreign graduates holding Master’s degrees. As an Intern, you will have a unique opportunity to learn about Indonesian language and culture while developing your teaching skills as a co-teacher in the Department linked to your interests and field of studies. The program is like a full-time job in its professional rigor, but it is like an internship in that the schedule is flexible, there are plenty of learning opportunities, and the atmosphere is collegiate and familial. You’ll learn culture firsthand, experience language immersion, and hone your skills in problem solving – all while gaining invaluable international experience!

As a co-teacher, you will teach one of the subjects in English connected to your field of studies. In your application form, we will ask you what your major research or academic interests are in your field and what the topics you are most passionate about are.
Since the Indonesian system of higher education might be a little bit different than in your country, the content of topics taught may be slightly different from what you learned during your graduate courses.
