The MFU International Affairs Division and International Students Club organised the “International Students Orientation 2/2017” on 12 January 2018, in room 304, C1 Building. The orientation was held for helping new international students become more familiar with MFU and each other. This second semester of academic year 2017, MFU welcomed 28 new international students including 25 bachelor’s degree students; 1 master’s degree student and 2 doctoral degree students from 5 countries: China, Myanmar, Nigeria, Nepal and Sri Lanka. MFU also welcomed 14 exchange students from 7 countries including Austria, Japan, Philippines, Brunei, Hungary, Malaysia, and France. Over the past 19 years, the MFU has welcomed more than 3,000 international students from around the globe. This contribution shows that the international atmosphere has been created by the diversity of international students and international education of the university.
In addition, MFU provided campus tour, lecture and welcoming dinner activities for new international students to take part in a wealth of information sessions about MFU’s services, offices, important resource centres as well as and rules and regulations. This orientation activity was also a good opportunity for new students to meet and greet friends and seniors from different schools and countries, all of which will help prepare them for the academic, social and personal aspects of university life.
