Objectives
According to the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 12 of 2012, higher education curricula are developed by each Higher Education Institution with reference to SNPT for each Study Program, which includes the development of intellectual intelligence, noble character, and skills. The curriculum of the Master’s Program in Mathematics is designed to be completed by students in approximately four semesters. It is structured to facilitate students entering the workforce or pursuing further studies. Additionally, the Master’s Program in Mathematics must also facilitate students to be ready for training and self-development.
In general, the goal of the Master’s Program in Mathematics is to produce graduates at the master’s level who can positively contribute to realizing the aspirations of society in the development of mathematics or its applications, both within the scientific community and the general public, at international, regional, and national levels. Furthermore, the Master’s Program in Mathematics aims to produce graduates who are adaptive in developing their potential, interests, and strengths in mathematics, have good attitudes and personalities, are ready to solve problems in other fields that require mathematics, and are prepared to pursue further studies or engage in various professions requiring a mature mastery and application of mathematics.
Specifically, the objectives (Program Educational Objectives/PEO) of the Master’s Program in Mathematics are to produce graduates with a master’s degree in mathematical sciences who are devoted to God Almighty and possess integrity and the ability (competences) to:
PEO-1 | conduct research and development in the field of mathematics to produce innovative and tested works. |
PEO-2 | manage research and development that benefits society and the scientific community, and receive national and international recognition. |
PEO-3 | formulate problem-solving approaches in society through scientific methods using inter/multidisciplinary approaches. |
PEO-4 | continuously follow the development of science, becoming lifelong learners, especially in mathematics and its applications. |
