The Directorate of International Relations and Higher Studies (IR&HS) organised a Global Winter Immersion Programme for 32 students and 2 faculty members. The students from SRM AP‘s 3 schools—Paari School of Business, Easwari School of Liberal Arts, and School of Engineering and Sciences—set off for INTI International University, Malaysia.
The Immersion programme offered students an insight into the development and functioning of drone Technology. They were also able to learn how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are revolutionising the surveillance, agriculture, and logistics industry. They were also offered insights into Malaysia’s economy built on strategic trade industries, financial sector, and sustainability initiatives. The immersion programme offered a Physiotherapy Workshop for the students allowing them to understand rehabilitation techniques, injury prevention, and post-surgical recovery methods.
The immersion programme was not just about the academic aspect of student life but also exposed them to traditional Malaysian and Chinese culture through its music, food, games, and the engaging interactions and friendships fostered when native Chinese, Malaysians, and Indians interacted with the students from SRM AP. Immersion programmes such as these not only broaden students’ horizons but also equip them with a wealth of global perspectives.
