“Other European students are a welcome addition to Swinburne Sarawak.
KUCHING — Danish Ambassador to Malaysia Jesper Vahr received a warm welcome from the officials and staff of the Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus (Swinburne Sarawak) during the envoy’s visit to the school recently.
In his welcoming remarks, Prof. John Wilson, Swinburne Sarawak’s deputy vice chancellor and chief executive officer, touched on the history of the university’s “Study Abroad” program initiated in 2007 that has since opened the door to international students to study at the school.
The program, he said, enrolled its first student from the US, followed by Denmark in 2008.
“Swinburne Sarawak works closely with its recruitment partner EDU based in Copenhagen. EDU organizes the Study Abroad fair called the EDU Days twice a year, covering cities such as Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg where students can find out more about opportunities to study at the university,” Wilson said.

“A total number of 31 Danish students enrolled at our campus in 2016 and last year we enrolled 46 students. At present, we have 15 Danish students and we expect the number to grow to 50 in Semester 2 which will commence in September,” he added.
He further elaborated that the Danish and other European students are a welcome addition to the university’s student community as they provide a unique perspective and are very independent and actively engaged in class, which many local students aimed to emulate.
The next group of Danish students is expected to arrive in August, comprising undergraduate and post-graduate students from Copenhagen Business School, Aarhus University, University of Southern Denmark, Aalborg University, Via University and University of Copenhagen.
For hist part, Vahr said that Swinburne Sarawak records the most consistent and highest number of Danish students yearly among Malaysian universities, partly due to the Danish government’s commitment in sending undergraduate students abroad to enrich their learning and perspectives.
Vahr added that Denmark is keen to explore real-world applications of thought technology with technologically advanced countries.
