From the responses seen, the students looked very, very enthusiastic about the presentation of the CoE program at UMM FPP. They wanted to know more about the program because apart from being given a CoE scholarship, they could also study directly at an industrial partner's location for one semester.
The socialization given to these students was not only about the Center of Excellence (CoE). However, the socialization team also provided information about what academic facilities were in each study program at the UMM Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Science. Of course, the existing academic facilities in each of these study programs will greatly support the academic needs of students in their teaching and learning activities so that each study program will provide all the supporting facilities needed by its students.
