UPIR UGM's CURRICULUM

Philosophy

Starting in August 2016, UPIR UGM transitioned from Kurikulum 2000

to Kurikulum 2015. This transition was completed in August 2018,

meaning that all UPIR UGM students, enrolled in either the regular or

international program, use a single curriculum. This curriculum,

Kurikulum 2015, was developed in a workshop attended by lecturers,

support staff, and alumni – taking into account the opinions of

partners and students that were collected through questionnaires,

interviews, and focus group discussions.

Kurikulum 2015 upholds the educational philosophy that

underpinned Kurikulum 2000. It is based on :three principles

1. Self-tailored

Each student is given the opportunity to design her/his own study

plan. The curriculum is structured in a way that students can

choose one out of three concentrations and any area studies they

wish to be experts in.

2. Facilitation

The curriculum and its curricular contents support the students'

study plan. To compliment this, students are highly

recommended to supplement their studies by participating in

extracurricular activities and other non-curricular activities.

3. Regulated

UPIR UGM has in place a set of regulations and procedures to

ensure that the students' freedom to tailor their own study has

the necessary structure needed to maximize acquisition of

certain knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Undergraduate Program of IR UGM’s Curriculum (2019 Edition)5

6

Curriculum Structure

Kurikulum 2015 adopts a semi-block system. Each student is

required to complete in no more than . 144 credits 5 years

During the first year, students must complete the required courses

from both the Faculty and the Department. These include courses

that introduce students to the three concentrations and the area

studies.

Having gained basic knowledge, attitudes, and skills from the

introductory courses, in the second year, students must choose one

out of three concentrations: (1) Global Politics and Security, (2)

Peace and Conflict Studies, or (3) International Economy and

Political Development, taking as block . nine concentration courses

It is also mandatory for every student to complete five out of

seventeen area studies courses.

In the third year, students start to take cross-concentration and

cross-departmental courses. They must choose at least six out of

eighteen courses offered by a concentration outside of their focus

and are allowed to take a maximum of two cross-departmental

courses. During this year, students taking the international

program participate in a student exchange, double degree, or study

abroad program in one of UPIR UGM's partner universities. In

addition, students take the Independent Study course, where they

compose a thesis proposal .

Students are expected to complete community service (Kuliah Kerja

Nyata/KKN) and Undergraduate Thesis in their fourth and/or fifth

year.
