The double degree program, followed by Christian Krishna Pideksa, is a collaboration between Diponegoro University and Curtin University that allows students to combine two study programs simultaneously. In this program, Christian Krishna Pideksa gained learning experiences abroad, providing global insights and opportunities to interact with students from various cultural backgrounds.

Pideksa also revealed that his biggest challenge during the double degree program was the cultural differences between Singapore and Indonesia. Furthermore, the differences in the learning curriculum between Diponegoro University and Curtin University were also challenges for him.
Nevertheless, Pideksa strongly encourages other students of the International Undergraduate Program at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Diponegoro University, who wish to pursue a double degree program like him.
