Denpasar (Antara Bali) - At least 573 foreign students from 35 countries are studying in the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar, according to an official.
"Most of the foreign students in ISI have come from Japan. The number of Japanese foreign students has reached 207. They learn about percussion and Balinese dances," ISI Denpasar Rector I Wayan Rai said here on Monday.
Foreign students in ISI are generally self-financed, but the Indonesian government also provides scholarships every year. At least 58 foreign students received scholarships in 2012.
"Most of them take short course programmes. They study for two to four semesters and return to their home countries after finishing their studies," Wayan noted.
"In their country, they expand their creativity by doing things such mixing Balinese dancing and gamelan orchestra with Western music," he added.(IGT)
