恭賀本系印尼籍碩士班學生 Valentino Wangkai
當選高雄醫學大學印尼學生社團（Indonesian Student Community, ISC-KMU）新任會長！
喜訊傳回系上，全系師生均感榮幸並熱烈祝賀，亦再次彰顯醫化系在培育國際領導人才上的卓越成效。
高雄醫學大學印尼學生社團（ISC-KMU）是校內極具凝聚力與影響力的境外學生組織，旨在協助印尼留學生適應台灣生活、促進台印文化交流，並作為學校與國際學生之間的重要溝通橋樑。
外籍生人數名列前茅 構築多元文化融爐 高醫大醫化系近年來積極推動國際化發展與課程改革，目前不論是大學部全英文學程（EMI）的國際化布局，或是研究所的國際招募，均取得豐碩成果。醫化系現就讀之外籍學生總人數在全校各系所中名列前茅，且生源國籍展現高度的多元性，涵蓋印尼、印度、巴基斯坦、菲律賓、馬來西亞等國家。多國籍學生的匯聚，不僅讓醫化系的實驗室與課堂成為微型的國際社會，更在日常學術探討中激盪出不同的思維火花。
鼓勵國際交流 深耕在地、接軌國際 醫化系始終秉持開放、共融的教育理念，極力鼓勵並全方位支持外籍生走出實驗室，踴躍參與校內外各項學術與文化交流活動。
醫化系林韋佑主任表示，外籍生不僅是高醫大研究團隊的重要戰力，更是學校推動國際化、實踐永續發展與多元文化融合的核心力量。未來，醫化系將持續精進教學環境、優化 EMI 英語授課品質，並提供更完善的國際學生關懷機制，期盼能吸引更多全球優秀青年學子齊聚高醫，共同開創具備國際視野的科研新局。
Our warmest congratulations to Mr. Valentino Wangkai, an Indonesian Master’s student in our department, on being elected as the new President of the Indonesian Student Community at Kaohsiung Medical University (ISC-KMU)! As this wonderful news reached the department, all faculty and students extended their enthusiastic congratulations. This achievement once again highlights the outstanding success of the Department of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry in cultivating international leadership talent.
The Indonesian Student Community (ISC-KMU) is a highly cohesive and influential international student organization on campus. It aims to assist Indonesian students in adapting to life in Taiwan, promote cultural exchange between Taiwan and Indonesia, and serve as a vital bridge of communication between the university and international students.
In recent years, the KMU Department of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry has actively promoted internationalization and curriculum reform. Significant milestones have been achieved in both the international layout of the undergraduate English-Medium Instruction (EMI) track and the global recruitment for the graduate program.
The total number of enrolled international students in our department ranks among the top across all university departments. Furthermore, the students' nationalities demonstrate a high degree of diversity, spanning countries such as Indonesia, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Malaysia. This gathering of diverse nationalities transforms the department's laboratories and classrooms into a miniature global society, sparking unique intellectual insights during daily academic discussions.
Upholding an open and inclusive educational philosophy, the Department of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry strongly encourages and fully supports international students to step outside the laboratory and actively participate in various academic and cultural exchange activities both on and off-campus.
Professor Wei-Yu Lin, Chair of the Department of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry, emphasized that international students are not only a vital driving force in KMU’s research teams but also a core strength in the university’s mission to drive internationalization and practice sustainable development and multicultural integration.
Looking ahead, the department will continuously enhance its teaching environment, optimize the quality of EMI courses, and provide a more comprehensive support system for international students. We look forward to attracting more outstanding young scholars from around the globe to gather at KMU, working together to pioneer new frontiers in scientific research with a global perspective.
