General Introduction
The Doctoral Program in Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia was initiated in 1997/1998 and officially approved by the Regulation of the Directorate General of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and Culture No. 256/DIKTI/Kep/1999 on May 24th, 1999. The current curriculum of the Doctoral Program in Biology FMIPA UI is the 2024 Curriculum (Rector's Decree No.1692/SK/R/UI/2024). The 2024 curriculum was built as a development of the 2020 curriculum, while still following the national curriculum rules set for universities, namely the Higher Education Curriculum (KPT). Under the 2024 curriculum, doctoral students must take a minimum of 88 credits (ICTs) to complete their studies.
Vision & Mission
Vision and Mission of the Biology Doctoral Program 2020-2025.
Vision
To be the organizer of the tridharma of higher education that excels in the field of biodiversity, especially in the aspects of conservation and bioprospecting, which produces Doctors of Biology who are able to play a role at the national and global levels in advancing science, technology, and sustainable development.
Mission
The vision of the Doctoral Study Program in Biology 2024-2030 that has been set will be achieved through several missions as follows:
- Organizing quality education, research, and community services, especially in the aspects of conservation and bioprospecting of Indonesia's biodiversity.
- Producing Doctorates in biology who are able to design and manage research independently to create innovative outputs so that they can play a role at the national and global levels in advancing science, technology, and sustainable development.
- Utilizing the Indonesia's uniqueness of “megadiversity country” to strengthen research capabilities in the field of biodiversity, conservation, and prospecting through collaboration with various international universities and research institutions.
Objective
- To produce a doctoral who is professional, have ethic, honesty, integrity, and social responsibility.
- To produce a doctoral who competence in the field of biology to manage and utilize biodiversity in a sustainable manner.
- To produce a doctoral who is able to design, manage, and develop innovative research with a transdisciplinary approach in the field of conservation and biodiversity prospecting.
- To produce a doctoral who is able to communicate research results to the wider community and play a role in the scientific community.
Graduate Profile
At the end of the course at the UI Biology Doctoral Study Program, the resulting graduates are expected to have the following graduate profile:
- Doctor in biology who has the latest knowledge are able to think critically, ethically, professionally and become lifelong learners.
- Doctor in biology who is able to develop careers and professionalism in academia, industry, government, and the non-profit sector through lifelong learning, as well as contribute to the network of the scientific community.
Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL)
Curriculum
The Learning Outcomes of the Study Program reflect the targeted level of academic qualifications and are equivalent to the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) Level 9, the Indonesian Biology Consortium (KOBI), and the Qualification European Framework (EQF) Level 8.
Doctoral Program of By Research and Lecture-Research
Admission to the Doctoral Program offers two programs: By Research and By Lecture-Research. Each Program has different curriculum, but the minimum credits for graduation is same (minimum 88 credits, equal to 158.4 ECTS).
Research Path
The curriculum structure of the By Research Program consists of 11 compulsory modules: Literature Review 1 and 2, Research Proposal, Research Progress 1 and 2, National and International Scientific Publications, Dissertation Exam, and Doctoral Promotion.
Module distribution
By Lecture-Research Program
The By Lecture-Research Program requires students to take 74 credits (compulsory modules) and 14 credits (elective modules). The twelve (12) compulsory modules are Philosophy of Science, Integration of Science and Mathematics, Research Proposal, Research Progress 1 and 2, National and International Scientific Publications, Dissertation Exam 1 and 2, and Doctoral Promotion.
Module Distribution
Elective Lectures are based on Research Groups (Research Groups):
- Wildlife Biology and Sustainable Landscapes (WILD)
- Microbial systematics and prospecting (MSP)
- Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Biological Systems (CEMBIOS)
- Metabolomics and Chemistry Ecology (MECE)
- Community Ecology and Environmental Biology (CEEB)
Workload and Credit
Total credits are based on the learning load in units of credits. One credit is equivalent to 45 (forty-five) hours per semester and is held in 16 (sixteen) weeks. One credit (1 credit) is equal to 1.81 ECTS (European credit standard).
Curriculum Review/Revision
The curriculum is evaluated, updated, and revised every 4-5 years. This revision is carried out to ensure alignment and relevance with the development of science, university regulations, professional associations, and the needs of the job market.
