Proportion and Number of International Students from Developing Country
In 2023, there were a total of 17 foreign students. As compared to the total number of students enrolling in 2023 (Figure 1), the proportion of foreign students at Universitas Sriwijaya was still low, less than 1%. In order to boost the number of international students in the future, aid programs like scholarships, tuition fee waivers, and free on-campus housing are being prepared.
The distribution of students by country of origin and various academic programs is given in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.
Undergraduate students made up the majority of the international students (82.35%), with master’s students coming in second at 17.65%.
The nation of origin of Universitas Sriwijaya‘s international students is shown in Table 2. They are dominated by students from 2 countries, namely Malaysia (35.29%) and Sudan (29.42%).
When sorted by country of origin (developed and developing), around 90% of students come from developing countries (Figure 2) (SBR2024).
