Two new Study Programs (Prodi) in International Classes, are offered by FTUI for undergraduate education-level International classes (KI). The two new study programs are Shipping Engineering and Bioprocess Engineering. With the addition of these two study programs, the choice of available study programs for the FTUI International Class Bachelor level has increased from previously 7 study programs to 9 study programs for admission of new UI students for the 2023/2024 Academic Year.
“The International Class Undergraduate Program opens opportunities for FTUI students to gain access to high-quality education at the best engineering campuses in Indonesia and abroad. After studying for 3.5 – 4 years, upon graduation students will get two bachelor’s degrees, from UI and from our partner universities which are one of the best universities in the world. It is hoped that the graduates of this program will be able to compete in the international arena and take advantage of international networks to work in the future,” said Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU., Dean of FTUI.
“The KI Undergraduate Program is a UI education program that provides a global experience in learning by using English as the language of instruction in class. FTUI has been holding the KI Double Degree program since 1999 where upon graduation students will receive two bachelor’s degrees. Starting in 2011, FTUI opened a Single Degree program where students get access to education at foreign partner universities for at least one semester and graduate with a bachelor’s degree from UI. The age limit for applicants for this program is five years from the year of high school graduation,” said Prof. Dr. Ir. Harinaldi, M.Eng., Head of the Education Modernization and Internationalization Unit who is also the Head of the FTUI International Office.
Marine Engineering Study Program is an engineering discipline that focuses on ship design and shipping systems which include ship design, production processes, ship repair and maintenance, machinery installation, maritime regulations and basic knowledge of marine transportation management.
“Apart from the single degree program, we also have partners who collaborate for the Double Degree program, namely the Department of Naval Architecture Ocean & Marine Engineering University of Strathclyde, UK. This partner is ranked first in Europe for the field of Marine/Ocean Engineering based on the 2022 Shanghai University Ranking. Currently, we are also exploring opportunities for a double degree with Seoul National University, which is one of the best campuses in South Korea,” said Dr. Eng. Muhammad Arif Budiyanto, ST., MT., Head of the FTUI Marine Engineering Study Program.
Bioprocess Engineering Study Program is a scientific discipline in the field of chemical and biochemical engineering. Students of this study program learn the basics of engineering science and bioprocess technology engineering. It is hoped that students will be able to manage biological production systems and processes and provide alternative solutions to biological engineering problems with professional ethics. Graduates of this study program are predicted to have the knowledge, skills and experience to be applied in the world of work and work in the field of chemical process technology.
“International Class Study Program in Bioprocess Engineering is open for both single and double-degree options. In the double degree option, we have partnered with two of the best universities in Australia, Monash University and the University of Queensland to provide students with the best international engineering education at home and abroad. It is hoped that in the future our study program graduates will be able to develop themselves as industrial planners and managers and be able to develop their knowledge especially to compete in the international world,” said the Head of the FTUI Bioprocess Engineering Study Program, Dr. Tania Surya Utami, S.T., M.T.
In the 2023/2024 academic year, FTUI has opened nine international class undergraduate study programs for single and double-degree options. The nine study programs are Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Shipbuilding Engineering, and Bioprocess Engineering.
