The opening ceremony was held on Monday, April 13, 2026, marking the start of the international program, which runs from April 11 to July 24, 2026.
The International Semester Program is designed to integrate academic learning, industry practice, and cultural experiences. It allows students to gain insights into the digital business ecosystem while experiencing an international educational environment in Bali, a world-renowned tourism destination.
Director of PIB College, Prof. Dr. Ir. Anastasia Sulistyawati, M.S., M.M., M.Mis., M.H., D.Th., Ph.D., D.Ag., stated that PIB College is an international-standard institution with a strong focus on Digital Business and Entrepreneurship. The program aims to attract international students not only to study digital business but also to experience Indonesian culture.
“As the Bali International Polytechnic, we strive to meet international standards. One way is by inviting students from abroad. This program encourages student exchange, allowing our students to interact with international peers and broaden their perspectives,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Director of Partnership & Event PIB College, Made Herry Erika Sedana, M.Tr.Par., M.Sc., added that the program goes beyond digital business learning by embedding Indonesian cultural context through cultural immersion.
“The subjects include Introduction to Digital Business, Artificial Intelligence and its application in entrepreneurship, E-Commerce and Online Business, Startup Project Management, Digital Marketing Strategies, as well as Bahasa Indonesia and Cultural Context,” he said.
He further noted that the program also incorporates community service activities. International students will have the opportunity to teach at nearby elementary schools, providing local students with the experience of learning from foreign students.
“This initiative connects with our community service program. The response has been very positive, especially from local communities who are highly cooperative during our excursions,” he added.
Head of the Digital Business & Entrepreneurship Program, Diky Budiman, explained that the Digital Business program is part of PIB College’s three main pillars, one of which is the School of Digital.
“The Digital Business program is a four-year bachelor’s degree. We also offer international programs for foreign students who want to study digital business, especially in areas like e-commerce, artificial intelligence, and business in general,” he said.
In its inaugural batch, the program is joined by four students: Line Smith (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark), Maj Signe (Aarhus University, Denmark), Mathilde Farmer (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark), and Gabriel Rapetti (Indonesia).
Throughout the program, participants will study courses such as Digital Marketing, E-Commerce and Online Business, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Business, and Digital Business Start-Up Projects, along with Indonesian language and cultural studies.
Beyond classroom learning, students will also take part in industry visits, collaborative learning sessions, and cultural exploration activities across Bali.
Through this program, PIB College continues to strengthen its commitment to the internationalization of higher education, fostering global collaboration and creating an innovative, cross-cultural learning environment aligned with the development of the digital economy.
PIB College believes that international education collaboration is a strategic step in preparing a young generation that is adaptive, creative, and globally competitive in the era of digital transformation. TS-01
