The ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) programme, formally known as M-I-T, aims to create a vibrant student mobility program for citizens of all Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) member countries.

The AIMS Program has been at the core of SEAMEO RIHED’s educational programs as indicated in the 4th Five-Year Development Plan to cultivate globalized human resources. UM is one of the 12 CHED-identified Higher Education Institutions in the country to be a member of this mobility program. This is only limited to Engineering and International Business (Accountancy and Business Administration) programs.

AIMS only offers scholarships for students who are enrolled under the Engineering and International Business (Accountancy and International Business) programs only.

Since UM’s fields of study only limit to Engineering and International Business, these are the schools that UM are in partnership with:

UMAP is the acronym for the Organization called University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific. It is a voluntary association of government and non-government representatives of the higher education (university) sector in the region. Having a wider scope, students under the UMAP can be sent to member institutions in the Asia-Pacific Region allowing them to have a wider choice of host institution for mobility. Students can apply as long as they are enrolled in any level II programs of the University.

Students enrolled under all Level II Accredited Programs can apply under the UMAP scholarship.

1. Students with at least one year of residency in the University and have at least one semester left upon return to UM.

2. Students whose programs are at least Level II accredited.

3. Students whose GPA is at least 85 (2.5) without failing marks.

4. Students who possess proficiency in both oral and written communication.

5. Students who are worthy of becoming representatives and the Philippines to the world.

You will be away for a semester – 5 to 6 months.

AIMS scholars can enjoy financial support from CHED. CHED shoulders the accommodation, airfare and living allowance of the students. UM shoulders the visa processing.

How much do I have to pay for the tuition fee?

The Commission on Higher Education will waive the tuition fee in the host university. This means the outbound exchange student does not pay for the tuition fee anymore.

Will there be a host family in the country we choose to study?

None. The outbound exchange student will be living independently that’s why emotional maturity is vital in becoming an outbound exchange student.

Can I work part-time during the exchange student program?

No, you can’t. Outbound exchange students should remain focused in their studies because they are scholars and they have grades to maintain.

1. Academic Competence (Knowledge on the Program) 25
2. Communicative Competence (Proficiency in the use of the English Language) 25
3. University Ambassadorship (Ability to represent the University) 20
4. Maturity Level (Manifestation of Personal Maturity) 20
5. Cultural Awareness (Awareness of the Mindanaoan Culture) 10
Total: 100 points

Yes. As soon as the outbound exchange student is accepted in his/her desired host university, UM’s International Affairs Office will coordinate with the host university’s IA office about student admission and other relevant requirements.

Your parents may if they want to, but they have to pay for their own expenses.

Becoming an outbound exchange student affords you a once in a lifetime experience of gaining academic and cultural growth. You don’t only get to study abroad for a semester, you also get to be exposed to the cultural diversity of your host country that you can bring with you in your lifetime. It would also be an honor on your part to represent the university and the country in the international academic arena. Not to mention the edge it could give you once you apply for a job in the future.
