In his remark, Prof. Ahmad Yunus advised new students to maintain academic quality in accordance with the curriculum provided by UNS. “There are regulations and qualifications for Masters and Doctoral students that must be fulfilled to graduate with international quality. Therefore, despite studying at UNS, our quality is equal to international standards,” he explained.

Prof. Ahmad Yunus added that as a graduation requirement, students must make international publications. “Students since their first semester have been directed to determine the research topic for thesis or dissertation. Hence, it has to be prepared really because a Master study is short. If you’re not ready, you’ll be surprised since all of a sudden it’s already the third semester,” he added.

After the welcome remark from the Vice-Rector of Academic and Student Affairs at UNS, the PKKMB activities were followed by the presentation of materials by the Dean of the UNS Graduate School, Prof. Sutarno. He said that the lectures at the postgraduate level should be enjoyed while also focusing on completing the examination requirements.

“New students must be able to adapt to the culture in Solo. Appreciate the applicable norms and strive to graduate on time,” said Prof. Sutarno. Humas UNS

The competition was organized to commemorate India’s Independence Day, starting on January 1 to 26, virtually. Bayu wrote a piece article on sari fabric as a traditional fabric from India for the competition. “So, I choose to write about the sari. Maybe it’s like a batik here in Surakarta. Well, I try to read numerous journal articles about sari, its use, and its usage among young people there,” explained Bayu, Monday (14/2/2022).

After doing a little research, Bayu put his current knowledge into a written article, marveling at the beauty of sari. Bayu revealed that the background to selecting sari fabric topics was due to limited insight into Indian culture. “From various cultural showcases, I see young people from India wearing sari more often. So, I must dig my previous understanding or knowledge on this subject, so I don’t have to look for too many references and repeat the process from zero. Moreover, I can use batik as an analogy for sari fabric to interpret my thought,” he added.

The competition was attended by many students and the general public from various countries. Bayu admitted that he was exhilarated and could not believe the announcement as the 3rd place champion. “Alhamdulillah, I am delighted and grateful to get 3rd place. This achievement is a beautiful gift at the beginning of the year and the beginning of the semester. Previously, I also submitted a poster to the same competition, but I didn’t win, so I didn’t expect my writing to win instead. It turns out to be an unexpected win,” said Bayu.

He hopes that this accomplishment can further spur his enthusiasm in his work and achievements, as well as contribute to UNS achievements. Humas UNS
