What Office of International Affairs - Fikom Unpad does

The Office of International Affairs (OIA) at Fikom Unpad is an administrative office within the Faculty of Communication Sciences at Universitas Padjadjaran, a public state university in Indonesia. Established in 2020 and operating from the Jatinangor campus, OIA centralizes the faculty's international communication functions and serves a single institutional customer base: enrolled undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Faculty of Communication Sciences, with primary focus on 4th-7th semester undergraduates seeking international mobility.

OIA's service portfolio covers student exchange facilitation (IISMA scholarships, bilateral exchanges with at least 17 international partner universities across Southeast Asia, East Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Oceania), academic conferences (Padjadjaran Communication Conference Series / PCCS), virtual international programs (Communication Winter Camp), and student engagement initiatives (the #WeeklyTakeover social media series run by the student-intern "Upgraders" program). The supporting technology stack is conventional: a WordPress-based website for information dissemination, social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LINE, YouTube) for community engagement, and Zoom for virtual lectures and conferences. OIA does not develop proprietary technology products.

As a unit of a public state university, OIA does not operate as a commercial enterprise. The office does not charge students for its international affairs services; the only pricing signals relate to academic conference registration (e.g., PCCS 2021: National Presenter IDR 300,000, International Presenter USD 70) and publication fees for SCOPUS-indexed outputs. Distribution is single-channel and on-campus. Three academic departments (Communication and Information, Mass Communication, Corporate Communication) oversee nine academic programs (seven undergraduate, two postgraduate) that constitute the supply side from which OIA's customer base is drawn.
