Based on the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2020 concerning Accreditation of Study Programs and Higher Education, BAN-PT or Independent Accreditation Institutions (LAM) can carry out Accreditation Institutions. The quality of a tertiary institution is determined by the quality of management in a tertiary institution which is determined by various predetermined criteria, as well as the quality of a department or study program.
The quality of a study program is determined through criteria based on Higher Education National Standards (SNPT), which is implemented through an activity called Study Program Accreditation. One of those accrediting the Undergraduate Informatics study program is the Informatics and Computer Independent Accreditation Institute (LAM INFOKOM).
The Informatics and Computer Independent Accreditation Institute (LAM INFOKOM) carried out an offline field assessment of the FSM Undip Informatics Study Program by presenting two assessors Prof. Dr. Ir. Sri Nurdiati, M.Sc. (Bogor Agricultural Institute) and Dr. Ir. Petrus Mursanto, M.Sc. (University of Indonesia) on Thursday, July 20, 2023.
The field assessment, which was carried out for two days at the Acintya Prasada Building, 4th floor, was opened by Dr. Farikhin, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D. as Deputy Dean I of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics (FSM), attended by Deputy Dean II, Chair of LP2MP, FSM Leaders, Heads of Departments and Study Programs, Accreditation and Invitation Teams, Information System Manager (Chairman of UP2TI), Chair of UP3ST, Managers and supervisors along with students, alumni and guests.
Deputy Dean I expressed his warmest welcome and appreciation to the assessors (LAM INFOKOM) who were present. He hopes that the field assessment obtained by the Informatics Study Program can show how the study program’s quality is improved.
The first day of the assessors’ visitation at the Faculty of Science and Mathematics Undip began with the opening of the assessment, introduction of the assessor panel, and reading and signing of the Statement. Furthermore, the field assessment process of the visitation session was explicitly for lecturers, education staff, students, and alumni, followed by confirmation with the UPPS leadership regarding the UPPS development macro policy, governance system, management system, and reported institutional achievements.
