Pre-departure Matters
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After knowing the result from the host university and before arriving at the host university, the student should have a good level of preparedness for exchange. There are many things you may help yourself prepare for a memorable and productive exchange. They include, but are not limited to the following:
Attend pre-departure briefing;
Arrange visa, if required;
Arrange insurance and leave a copy of insurance policy and number to your family;
Research on your exchange university, destination city and country;
Arrange health check;
Obtain emergency contacts of persons in UM in case you need to seek help from your home university during your study abroad. Simultaneously, leave a name of contact person of your host university to your family so that they can reach you through this person, if need;
Prepare yourself mentally and physically, and get ready for the journey!
