Project Purposes: Provide opportunity for students from FEALAC member country higher learning institution the opportunity to experience life as a student at UBD and learn about Brunei Darussalam and its rich culture.

Activity Description: Participants: Full time students of higher learning institutions from FEALAC member countries.

The FEALAC University Discovery Year (FUDY) Programme welcomes semester exchange and short-term exchange students from FEALAC member country universities to apply to Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) to enroll in its non-graduating programmes.
Motivated by FUDY, UBD signed a student exchange agreement with the Coimbra Group of Brazilian Universities (GCUB) in 2016 which resulted in 5 Brazilian semester exchange students joining UBD in 2017 and 2018.

In addition to semester exchanges under FUDY, UBD welcomes FEALAC member university students to join our short-term summer programme known as the Global Discovery Programme (GDP) which runs every year in June/July/August. The programme is credit bearing and is designed to offer international students an opportunity to experience student-life in this culture-rich kingdom, in an academic setting which is stimulating, challenging and progressive.
