In Towards to Global Education, IPB University Discusses Development Opportunities from Lesson-Learned by International Class Organizers
One of the work programs of the Rector of IPB University in the period 2023-2028 is to realize 'Global Education' which is described in the internationalization of education (inbound-outbound mobility). This step is taken through the stabilization of classes and study programs (prodi) in superior international cooperation schemes, as well as the initiation of international campus development.
Therefore, according to the Vice Rector of IPB University in the field of Education and Student Affairs, Prof drh Deni Noviana, a Road Map for the Development of International Education of IPB University for 2023-2028 is needed. The analysis of the existing condition of the international education program that is currently held becomes the database for the preparation of the road map.
"One of the international education programs that is currently being held is five international classes for undergraduate programs. At the postgraduate level, several programs ranging from Double Degree, Joint Degree, Joint Program and Student Exchange have long been implemented by IPB University through partnerships with universities abroad," he said at the opening of a focus group discussion (FGD) on International Class Management initiated by the Directorate of International Education (DPI) IPB University, recently.
He said, these international classes are expected to be increasingly developed to support the transformation of education in the environment of IPB University.
Director of DPI IPB University, Puji Mudiana, SP, MA said, as the person in charge of preparing the IPB International Education Development Roadmap Year 2023-2028, his party needed adequate information from internal stakeholders of IPB University.
"The FGD was held to identify the practices and constraints found in the implementation of international classes that currently exist at IPB University, both at the level of the organizing study program and at the institutional level and identify opportunities for development," he said.
DPI IPB University invited the Vice Deans of the Graduate School, the Directorate of Global Connectivity and the Head of Department as well as the person in charge of the International Class of the Undergraduate Program at IPB University from five study programs. Among others, Veterinary Medicine, Marine Science and Technology, Food Science and Technology, Agroindustrial Engineering and Business.
On this occasion, DPI IPB University discussed the concept of international classes and their management at the institute level, from promotion to quality assurance. The discussion involved the Directorate of Educational Transformation and Learning Technology, Directorate of Educational Administration, Directorate of Student Affairs, Directorate of General Competency Education and IPB University Quality Management Office.
"Hopefully, this FGD activity can become a strong database for DPI IPB University in preparing the Road Map for IPB International Education Development in 2023-2028," he concluded. (*/Rz) (IAAS/RUM)
