UNS — Universitas Sebelas Maret Postgraduate School (UNS) Surakarta organized a Campus Life Introduction Program for New Students (PKKMB), Thursday (15/9/2022). The event was conducted in the G.P.H. Haryo Mataram UNS Auditorium Building and is addressed for the First intake of Master and Doctoral programs students. Hundreds of new UNS Postgraduate students from various provinces and countries attended this event. Also attending the event was the Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs UNS, Prof. Ahmad Yunus, and the Dean of the UNS Graduate School, Prof. Sutarno.
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
