The Inbound Student Mobility Programme was successfully conducted from 15th September to 11th October 2025, continuing the strong academic partnership between the Kulliyyah of Nursing, IIUM and Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), Indonesia.
This year’s programme primarily involved two key departments from KON — the Medical-Surgical Nursing (MSN) and Specialised Clinical Nursing (SCN) departments. The initiative was jointly led by Dr. Nik Noor Kaussar and her team from the MSN Department, together with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aniawanis and her dedicated team from the Department of Special Care Nursing, Kulliyyah of Nursing, IIUM.
Throughout their month-long stay in Kuantan, participants engaged in a variety of academic and experiential learning activities, including:
- Attending lectures and workshops alongside local nursing students.
- Participating in community engagement programmes across Pahang.
- Visiting health and educational institutions for clinical and cultural exposure.
- Presenting case studies and collaborative projects, showcasing cross-cultural perspectives in nursing education
The programme served as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, intercultural understanding, and professional development. It also strengthened the long-standing collaboration between IIUM and UMY — a partnership grounded in shared values of Tawhidic education, holistic care, and regional health advancement. Alhamdulillah, the programme was conducted smoothly, and it is hoped that all intended objectives have been fully achieved. Both institutions look forward to continuing this meaningful collaboration, nurturing future nurses who embody global competency and Islamic compassion.
