He said that, “The International KKN Program is not only beneficial for academic progress and credit recognition for friends, but also provides very valuable international experience,”
The relationship between UMSU and Southern Thailand is also very close, considering the presence of foreign students from Thailand studying at UMSU. Then, Thailand is a country that is advanced in the fields of Agriculture and Technology so that students need to learn a lot from that country.
