The Directorate General of Higher Education through the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs organizes the International Credit Transfer program as part of efforts to develop student competencies and insights. The International Credit Transfer Program is a process of acknowledging the study load and Learning Outcomes that have been obtained by a student from a partner university abroad (host university). In addition, through the International Credit Transfer program, home universities in Indonesia can recognize and learn about various credit transfer systems that are applied in the world such as the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), ASEAN Credit Transfer System (ACTS) and UMAP Credit Transfer Scheme (UCTS), and then implement and develop a credit transfer system that is based on the needs and regulations of higher education in Indonesia.

The International Credit Transfer Program provides opportunities for Indonesian students to interact with overseas students and communities. Thus, it is hoped that the students will increase their hard skills and soft skills, expanding and strengthening networks, cooperation, socio-cultural understanding and internationalization of the higher education system in Indonesia. Institutionally, the paradigm shift in educational quality, networking, and innovation will be the result of learning experiences in the context of self-development that can make a positive contribution to national development and the nation’s competitiveness at the international level in the 21^st century.
