The Faculty of Biology Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) is committed to delivering world-class education. Following its successful attainment of ASIIN (Akkreditierungsagentur für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik) international accreditation for undergraduate and master’s programs, the Faculty is now preparing to extend this achievement to its doctoral program.
As part of this strategic endeavor, on Thursday, November 28, 2024, the Faculty of Biology convened a working meeting to prepare for LAMSAMA’s national accreditation and ASIIN’s international accreditation. This initiative underscores the Faculty’s dedication to supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No.4, which aims to ensure inclusive and quality education for all.
The meeting brought together the Accreditation Preparation Team, the Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, and the Vice Dean for Finance, Assets, and Human Resources. In his remarks, the Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs emphasized that this accreditation effort extends beyond merely meeting standards. It seeks to equip doctoral graduates with the global competencies needed to navigate the complexities of multidisciplinary challenges in the modern era.
The meetings’ discussions focused on strengthening the curriculum and devising strategies to produce exceptional graduates ready to excel on the international stage. These efforts are expected to solidify the Faculty of Biology UGM’s reputation as a world-class institution and nurture biology doctorates who can make meaningful contributions to global advancement.
