Program Education Objectives (PEO) of the Program is formulated in accordance to University as well as Faculty visions and missions, to achieve Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF) for undergraduate program level 6 . The PEO of Undergraduate Program in Biology (UPB) of Faculty of Biology Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) is to provide:
- Graduates with a comprehensive scientific education in all of biology disciplines.
- Graduates with ability to pursue any career path in biology, particularly in Tropical Biology.
- Graduates with leadership and management skills to provide solutions to Tropical Biology problems.
- Graduates who embrace Pancasila as a base for ethical scientific activities, as well as research, publication and daily conduct.
- Graduates with an intellectual and practical understanding of good science on Tropical Biology to pursue higher education
In order to achieve above mentioned PEO effectively, the PEO values are elaborated into more specific attainable outcomes in Program Learning Outcomes (PLO). The PLO contains the details of expected Skills (S), Knowledge (K) and Competency (C) of each students and graduates in Faculty of Biology. The formulation of learning outcome is based on internal and external demand analysis obtained from survey of alumni and their users. Hence, it is hoped that the formulation of learning outcome could fulfill stakeholder’s’ expectation which is monitored and evaluated on the basis of tracer study result. The PLO of UPB are:
- The students will have an ability to apply what they have learned in Biology. (K, S)
- The students will be able to demonstrate skills and knowledge of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in Tropical Biology. (S)
- The students will be able to demonstrate skills and knowledge of Functional Biology in Tropical Biology. (S)
- The students will be able to demonstrate skills and knowledge of Environmental Biology and Biodiversity in Tropical Biology. (S)
- The students will be able to design and to conduct biological research both individually or in a team, and then to analyze as well as to interpret the data and to form conclusions based on it. (S, C)
- The students will be able to identify problems including safety and environmental issues related to Tropical Biology and to develop scientifically sound solutions to them. (C)
- The students will understand the importance of professional and ethical responsibility, and a commitment to apply these ethical principles in their research or daily conduct. (K)
- The students will be able to communicate and express a fundamental scientific opinion effectively, in both oral and written formats. (S)
