Semarang State Polytechnic (POLINES) collaborates with Central College Nottingham and Loughborough College, England. This collaboration begins with
International Skills Partnership (ISP), a program funded by the British Council. The program then led the three institutions to sign a memorandum of understanding. The MoU between Poline and Central College Nothingham was represented by Dra. Lusia M. Silitonga, M.Pd (Head of International Office, Polines) and Shaff Hussain ( Head of International and Projects , Central College Nottingham) on the main campus of Central College Nottingham (16/05). Meanwhile, the MoU between Polines and Loughborough College was represented by Drs.

Currently, Polines, Loughborough College and Central College Nottingham are part of the International Skills Partnership programme.
