On Saturday, February 24, 2024, the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), under the Modernization and Internationalization of Education Unit (Modirpen), held an Open House for the FTUI International Class Program. The event aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the FTUI International Class Program to students, parents, and teachers from around 100 schools in the Greater Jakarta area. The event took place offline in Room K301 of Building K at FTUI.
The event commenced with opening remarks from the Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU. Several speakers were also present, including the Head of the Modernization and Internationalization of Education Unit at FTUI, Prof. Dr. Ir. Harinaldi, M.Eng., the Head of the International Office at FTUI, Fadhilah Muslim, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., DIC, and the Head of the UI Admissions Office, Dr. Gunawan, S.T., M.T., along with several FTUI alumni from the International Class Program.
Addressing the 286 attendees during the opening, Prof. Heri stated, “UI’s Faculty of Engineering is a pioneer in Double Degree programs in Indonesia. We started it in 1999, collaborating with the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in the Electrical Engineering program. Now, more than 20 years later, FTUI has been organizing Double Degree programs, and expanding partnerships with institutions like Monash University, University of Queensland, and others. This track record has propelled FTUI to become the best engineering campus in Indonesia with an International Outlook that surpasses other campuses.”
Fadhilah Muslim, Head of the International Office at FTUI, presented information about the FTUI International Class Program. In her presentation, Fadhilah Muslim expressed pride in the continuous development of the program. She mentioned, “We are proud to continue overseeing the FTUI International Class Program. Initially, we had only one partner and fewer than 20 students. In 2024, we now have 10 partners with an intake capacity of over 400 students. Currently, we offer 11 study programs for the International Class Program.”
The subsequent session featured a presentation on New Student Admissions by Dr. Gunawan, Head of the UI Admissions Office. Gunawan shared, “UI has a quota of 934 for prospective students in the International Class Program across 33 offered study programs. This includes 410 slots for talent scouting selection and 524 slots for SIMAK KKI selection. FTUI itself offers 416 seats for 11 study programs in the FTUI International Special Class.”
The final session of the Open House included discussions and a Q&A session between participants and the three speakers. In addition to presentations and Q&A, the FTUI International Special Class Open House 2024 also featured a Talk Show with four alumni from the FTUI International Class Program and concluded with the distribution of door prizes for the participants.
