CHAPTER II
GENERAL STIPULATIONS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION IN THE
MASTER’S AND DOCTORAL PROGRAMS IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE
FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCES
In order for higher education to be more able in fulfilling the demands of development, it is necessary to
provide educational programs that are varied and flexible. Brawijaya University, as a higher education institution,
always considers the following seven factors in the organization of education:
1) Students as learners, who naturally possess individual differences whether in talents, interests, or
academic skills.
2) The ever increasing demands of the people for the need for expert workers.
3) The rapid development of science and technology.
4) Educational facilities such as sufficient classrooms, libraries, and laboratories.
5) Administration staff, who affect the smooth organization of academic activities.
6) Lecturers as executors of education, for whom the organization of the learning and teaching process is
based on semester credits, as the component that very much affects the results of the process.
7) Development of the learning and teaching process that accommodates the system of Curriculum Based
on Outcome-Based Education (OBE), which is different for each faculty or study program, and thus the
execution of OBE is delegated to each department or study program.
A. Learning Competence
Competence is the set of intelligent and fully responsible activities that a person possesses as the requirement
to be considered able by the people in executing tasks in various occupational fields. Based on Minister of
Research, Technology, and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 44 of Year 2015,
which was then amended by Minister of Education and Culture as Regulation Number 3 of Year 2020, the
competence of graduates are the minimum criteria on the qualification of graduate abilities, covering attitudes,
knowledge, and skills that are declared in the formulation of graduate learning targets. These refer to the
descriptions of graduate learning targets of the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) and are
equivalent to the levels of qualifications in the KKNI.
Attitudes are correct and cultured behaviors as the results of internalizing and actualization of values and norms
that are reflected in spiritual and social living through the instructional process, student work experiences,
research, and/or community service related to learning. Knowledge is the mastery of concepts, theories,
methods, and/or philosophies of certain fields of discipline in a systematic manner that is obtained through
reasoning in the instructional process, student work experiences, research, and/or community service related
to learning. Skills are abilities to demonstrate performance with usage of concepts, theories, methods, materials,
and/or instruments that are obtained through instruction, student work experiences, research, and/or
community service related to learning, covering:
a) general skills, as general working abilities that are required to be possessed by each graduate in order
to ensure equivalence of graduate abilities according to the program level and type of higher education,
and
b) specific skills, as specific working abilities that are required to be possessed by each graduate according
to the field of discipline of the study program.
The formulation of knowledge and specific skills as part of the graduate learning targets is required to be
composed by forums of similar study programs or their equivalents, or the managers of the study program in
the case that there are no forums for similar study programs. The depth and scope of learning materials at the
Master’s and doctoral levels are required to utilize results of research and community service. Graduates of
11
Master’s programs at the least master (applicative) theories of certain fields of knowledge, and graduates of
doctoral programs at the least master scientific philosophies of certain fields of knowledge and skills.
B. Curriculum
The curriculum of higher education is a set of plans and regulations regarding graduate learning targets, study
materials, processes, and the evaluation that are utilized as guidelines for the organization of a study program.
The curriculum contains a structured set of graduate competence standards. The curriculum contains
courses/modules/blocks that support the achievement of graduate competences and provide freedom for
students to broaden insights and deepen expertise according to their interests, and is supplemented by
descriptions of courses or modules, a syllabus, lesson plans, and evaluation. The curriculum is designed based
on its relevance with objectives, material coverage and depth, and organization that encourage the formation
of the mastery of knowledge (hard skills) and personality and behavioral aptitude (soft skills) that may be applied
in various situations and conditions.
The curriculum as the guidelines for the learning and teaching process of Master’s Programs and Doctoral
Programs in the environment of the Faculty is composed by referring to applicable stipulations and regulations,
as:
1) Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of Year 2003 on the National Education System,
2) Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of Year 2012 on Higher Education,
3) President of Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 8 of Year 2012 on the Indonesian National
Qualifications Framework (KKNI),
4) Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation
Number 44 of Year 2015 on the National Standards for Higher Education (SNDikti), which is then
amended as point (5),
5) Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 3 of Year 2020 on
the National Standards for Higher Education (SNDikti),
6) Brawijaya University Rector Regulation Number 427/PER/2012 on the Academic Regulations of
Master’s Programs of Brawijaya University, and
7) Brawijaya University Rector Regulation Number 428/PER/2012 on the Academic Regulations of
Doctoral Programs of Brawijaya University.
C. Semester Credits
Semester credits comprise a system of education organization with units to declare the study load of students,
workload of lecturers, learning experiences, and load of program organization. A semester is a unit of time of an
effective learning process of at least 16 weeks, including mid-semester (midterm) examinations and end-of-
semester final examinations. Semester credits (credits for short) are measurements of assessment of learning
experiences that are obtained within semester through scheduled activities per week. Based on Minister of
Research, Technology, and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 44 of Year 2015
amended as Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 3 of Year 2020
on the National Standards for Higher Education, the following are established:
1) 1 credit for the learning process involving lectures consists of:
a) 50 minutes of face-to-face activities per week per semester;
b) 60 minutes of structured assignments per week per semester; and
c) 60 minutes of independent activities per week per semester.
2) 1 credit for the learning process involving meetings/tutorials/seminars or similar activities consists of:
d) 100 minutes of face-to-face activities per week per semester; and
e) 70 minutes of independent activities per week per semester.
3) 1 credit for the learning process involving practicum, studio practice, workshop practice, field practice,
research, community service, and/or similar learning processes consists of 170 minutes of activities per
week per semester.
12
Semester credits will allow a greater possibility for each student to determine and organize strategies for their
study process in order to obtain the best results according to the plans and conditions of each student.
Characteristics of Semester Credits
1) In each semester, a number of courses are offered, and each course possesses a load that is stated in
semester credits according to what is established in the curriculum.
2) The amount of credits for different courses do not have to be the same.
3) The amount of credits for each individual course is determined on the basis of the amount of efforts to
complete the assignments that are given out in activities of coursework, practicum, or fieldwork, or any
other assignments.
Objectives of Semester Credits
1) To provide an opportunity to students who are proficient and active in learning to be able to complete
their studies in the shortest amount of time.
2) To provide an opportunity to students to be able to take courses that suit their interests, talents, and
abilities.
3) To allow the possibility for the education system with plural inputs and outputs to be executed.
4) To ease the adjustment of the curriculum from time to time with the extremely rapid developments in
science and technology.
5) To allow the possibility for the evaluation system of student learning progress to be organized as well
as possible.
6) To allow the possibility of credit transfers between study programs in a higher education institution or
across institutions.
7) To allow the possibility of student transfers from one higher education institution to another in the
same or similar study program.
Brawijaya University has formally adopted Semester Credits as established by Brawijaya University Rector
Decree Number 22/SK/1976 dated 3 May 1976, and its application is adjusted from year to year based on
applicable regulations.
13
4) The final score for a thesis or dissertation is the aggregate score of all the components of a thesis or

F. Matriculation Program
The matriculation program is a program of lectures for certain courses because candidate students of Master’s
or Doctoral Programs are seen by the managers (the selection teams for Master’s Programs, or candidate
promotor teams for Doctoral Programs) to still be in need of increasing their abilities of knowledge mastery for
certain courses. The matriculation program is conducted at the beginning of Semester 1 and is not part of the
core curriculum of the student academic program. The methodology of execution for the matriculation program
is regulated by each individual study program. The number of credits in the matriculation courses are not
calculated together with the credits of the student academic program. The end result of the matriculation
courses is that students are declared to have passed or not passed. The passing criteria is that each course is
completed with a grade of at least B. Students who do not pass will be given a make-up opportunity by the
managers of the study program. Tuition for the matriculation program paid for by the participants of the
matriculation program themselves and is not included in the payment for the student academic program.

K. Stipulations of Plagiarism Detection
To ensure the quality of the academic works of theses and dissertations of the Master’s Programs and Doctoral
Programs in the environment of the Faculty, it becomes necessary to conduct plagiarism detection for all
academic works of students (and lecturers), covering articles, theses, and dissertations. This is in line with
Minister of National Education of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 17 of Year 2010 on the
Prevention and Handling of Plagiarism in Higher Education. The execution of plagiarism detection at the Master’s
Programs and Doctoral Programs in the environment of the Faculty is conducted based on Brawijaya University
Rector Regulation Number 3 of Year 2015.

CHAPTER III
GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE)
A. INTRODUCTION
1. Background
The realization of the insufficient quality of education started out with the perception that the role of Indonesian
human resources is not quite significant in global living, even in the country itself. The capabilities in creating
products, innovating, and working are often uncompetitive with other countries, even in the ASEAN
environment. Up to the present, it can be seen and perceived that the human resources of the country innovate
more to follow developments generated by developed countries in order to not fall behind. This capability to
only follow has never placed the country ahead of other countries, remaining at most in the middle if not behind,
and making it difficult to become a reference in various fields of life. Realizing this, the government initiated the
Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) in 2012, with the objective being to equalize the
capabilities of Indonesian human resources with that of other countries from various occupational and expertise
sectors with minimum standards of learning targets. What is being done up to the present is attempting to
achieve these standards of learning targets, which certainly requires immense efforts by all stakeholders,
particularly higher education.
The selected paradigm by Brawijaya University to achieve the capabilities of human resources by exceeding
existing standards (KKNI and SNPT) is to apply Outcome-Based Education (OBE). The focus is to move from the
classroom or place of learning activities to determine what should be achieved by students (Graduate Learning
Targets) in order to be able to achieve capabilities of lifelong learning in the real, living world to create prosperity
for oneself, the environment, and the world. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is easy to conceive, but hard to
define. OBE firstly may be differentiated from the traditional method of education by the way of combining
three elements: theories of education, a systematic structure for education, and special approaches in the
practice of learning.
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) clearly focuses and regulates everything in the educational system around what
is important for all students to be able to be successful at the end of their learning experience. This means
starting from a clear picture of what is important for students in order to be able to achieve certain capabilities,
and then organizing the curriculum and its instructions, and designing the assessment to confirm that the
learning process had occurred and is able to be measured and proven at the end of the learning process.
Brawijaya University in this regard follows the fulfillment of the National Standards for Higher Education (SNPT),
which is composed of 8 standards in the field of education:
1. Standards of graduate competence;
2. Standards of learning contents;
3. Standards of learning processes;
4. Standards of learning evaluation;
5. Standards of lecturers and education staff;
6. Standards of learning facilities and infrastructure;
7. Standards of learning management; and
8. Standards of funding for learning.
The fulfillment of the OBE paradigm is conducted by exceeding these standards in order to obtain a leading
accreditation and even international accreditation.
2. Legal Foundations
For the execution of the OBE paradigm in the curriculum, UB refers to the following legal regulations:
1. Law Number 12 of Year 2012 on Higher Education;
2. President of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 8 of Year 2012 on the Indonesian National
Qualifications Framework;
3. Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 73 of Year 2013 on the
Application of the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework in the Field of Higher Education;
17
4. Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 3 of Year 2020 on the
National Standards for Higher Education;
5. Brawijaya University Regulation Number 1 of Year 2017 on the Quality Standards of Brawijaya University;
6. Guide to Composition of Higher Education Curriculum in the Era of Industry 4.0 of the Ministry of Research,
Technology, and Higher Education of 2019;
7. Guidebook for Independent Learning – Independent Campus of the Ministry of Education and Culture of
2020; and
8. ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework 2014.
3. Objectives
One of the considerations for the issuance of a law on higher education is to increase national competitiveness
in facing globalization in all fields. This requires higher education that is able to develop science and technology
and to result in intellectuals, scientists, and/or professionals who are cultured and creative, tolerant, democratic,
steadfast in character, and daring to defend the truth for national interests. As such, Brawijaya University must
play a role in fulfilling expectations with the establishment of the law.
The Law on Higher Education states that the existence of higher education has the objectives of:
a. To develop the potential of students to become people who have faith and believe in the One and
Supreme God and are of noble character as well as healthy, intelligent, capable, creative, independent,
skilled, competent, and cultured for the interests of the nation;
b. To create graduates who master branches of science and/or technology for the fulfillment of national
interests and improvement of national competitiveness;
c. To advance science and technology through research that pays attention to and applies values of
humanity in order to be beneficial for the progress of the nation, progress of civilization, and prosperity of
humanity; and
d. To realize community service based on reasoning and works of research that are beneficial in advancing
general prosperity and contribute to intelligent national living.
To achieve objectives (a) and (b), the SNPT establishes educational standards by fulfillment of the 8 existing
standards. In order to achieve these objectives, the OBE paradigm is utilized and its success is expected to be
fulfilled. At present, UB has possessed Quality Standards that exceed the SNPT in order to carry out the mandate
of the law.
In the field of education, UB has the goals of creating graduates who are academically skilled, entrepreneurially
oriented, professional, independent, oriented to work ethics, disciplined, in possession of a noble character,
insightful in advanced technology in order to be able to compete, and leading at the national and international
levels. For these objectives, the OBE paradigm was selected, and therefore all directions from the learning
process are to head into and reach the future. With future-oriented objectives, the entire community of scholars
of UB must be able to prepare everything as well to face problems that will occur in the far future.
18
c. PEO (Study Program Objectives): capabilities possessed by alumni 3 to 5 years after graduation, who must
possess the capabilities for lifelong learning and self-development, which can be indicated through an
evaluation process called graduate tracing.
The consequence is that the presently discussed science and technology must be prepared for these OBE
objectives. Lecturers and everyone in the academic community must realize this matter. If the lecturers can
become aware of their roles, then the scope of discussed knowledge absolutely must be able to prepare students
to learn by reviews of knowledge in the future at least 5 years after students graduate, or automatically
approximately 10 years continuously from when students began their studies.
For the current conditions at UB, most of the lecturers have understood the principle of OBE, but it is still
necessary to conduct follow-up improvements in everyday practices along with their evaluation. Study programs
at UB are certainly expected to be able to fulfill immediately the highest level of OBE implementation, as
indicated in Table 3.1 below:
19
emphasizes on the exploration of graduate potentials as individuals who are able to compete in occupations at
both the national and international levels. This Presidential Regulation was further translated as Minister of
Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 73 of Year 2013 on the Application of
the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework in the field of Higher Education and Minister of Research,
Technology, and Higher Education Regulation Number 44 of Year 2015 on the National Standards for Higher
Education revised as Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 3 of
Year 2020. These regulations are in line with the OBE curriculum. The difference between curriculum design
based on Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Regulation Number 44 of Year 2015 and based
on the OBE curriculum is the process of establishing the learning targets of the study program, which was initially
based on the KKNI principles, for which the learning targets of the study program were established based on (1)
attitude, (2) knowledge, (3) general skills, and (4) specific skills. This became not only based on KKNI
considerations, but also added considerations of learning targets of study programs that are generally
established by international accreditation institutions, measured study program objectives, and profiles of study
program graduates (graduate attributes) that are established by each study program. For that, all study
programs in the environment of UB are required to adjust their curricula with this approach.
The curriculum at Brawijaya University is the primary foundation for the organization of academic, professional,
specialist, and vocational education toward the achievement of learning results in accordance with the standards
for graduates of Brawijaya University. The curriculum is a set of plans and regulations regarding the contents or
matters of study and learning materials, as well as the methods of delivery and evaluation to ensure the
achievement of graduate competences. Therefore, the presence of the curriculum becomes the primary
reference for each study program in planning and controlling the learning process. Meanwhile, the department
possesses the role of resource manager for the effective and efficient functioning of the study program and to
maintain its quality corridor, whether in the process or expected outcomes. For that, the curriculum is required
to be approved by the Rector by the verification of the Vice-Rector of Academic Affairs for the monitoring of
technical evaluation by the Agency for Education Development and Quality Assurance (LP3M) of Brawijaya
University.
The curriculum of study programs at UB should be composed based on the vision and mission of UB in order to
create graduates with high competences according to the needs of the people and the development of science,
technology, and/or art. The curriculum of a study program covers a single, unified structure of courses for all
levels in the study program that is composed in an integrated manner in to allow students to achieve the
graduate targets (outcomes) that are established for the study program. The structure of courses is adjusted to
development of the understanding of students in the respective discipline. Each course is required to possess a
Semester Lesson Plan (RPS) in accordance to a certain load of semester credits, and to possess a portfolio of the
learning process. The curriculum gives the specific character of a study program and provides a complete picture
regarding the materials, requirements, and general guidelines in executing the process of education. The scope
of the curricula of study programs is expected to follow the template composed by the Education Development
and Quality Assurance (LP3M) of Brawijaya University.
The curriculum functions as the instrument to form the scientific thinking pattern, expertise, and personality of
students. As such, the curriculum must encourage the fulfillment of the required learning targets of the study
program in the form of knowledge and understanding, cognitive skills, special skills (including practical or
professional skills), transferable skills, necessities for work and/or further studies, and the development of
personality. The process of composing the curricula of study programs at UB is required to follow the steps that
are presented in Figure 3.1.

achieved through a learning process that prioritizes the development of student creativity, capacity, personality,
and necessities, and develops independence in seeking and discovering knowledge.
The planning for the learning process is required to be composed for each course and presented in the Semester
Lesson Plan (RPS) that is established and developed by lecturers independently or together in an expertise group
for a field of science and/or technology in a study program. The RPS at UB must at the least contain: (a) the study
program name, course code and name, semester, semester credits, and name of teaching lecturer; (b) the
graduate learning targets that are assigned to the course; (c) the final capabilities planned for each stage of
learning to fulfill graduate learning targets; (d) study materials related to the capabilities to be achieved; (e)
forms and methods of learning; (f) the allotted time for the achievement of capabilities for each stage of learning;
(g) student learning experiences that are realized in the descriptions of tasks to be worked on by students during
one semester; (h) evaluation criteria, indicators, and weights; and (i) the list of utilized references.
Planning of learning related to student research is required to refer to the Standards of Research in the Quality
Standards of UB. The same is true for planning of learning related to community service by students, which is
required to refer to the Standards of Community Service in the Quality Standards of UB. The planning of learning
related to student research and community service by students is regulated by each faculty according to their
scientific characteristics.
There are many methods of learning by OBE that may be selected for the execution of learning in courses,
including group discussions, simulations, case studies, collaborative learning, cooperative learning, project-
based learning, problem-based learning, or other learning methods that may effectively facilitate the fulfillment
of graduate learning targets (CPL). Each course may utilize one learning method or a combination of a number
of them contained in an instructional form. As such, learning may take these forms:
a. lectures;
b. meetings and tutorials;
c. seminars;
d. practicum, studio practice, workshop practice, field practice, work practice (training);
e. research, design, or development;
f. military training;
g. student exchange;
h. internship;
i. entrepreneurship; and/or
j. other forms of community service.
Learning in the form of research, design, or development is required to be added as a form of learning for
Diploma IV education programs, undergraduate programs, vocational programs, Master’s programs, specialist
programs, and doctoral program. Learning in the form of research, design, or development constitute student
activities under the supervision of lecturers in order to develop attitudes, knowledge, skills, and authentic
experience, and to improve the welfare of society and the competitiveness of the nation.
22
In contrast to learning by research, the form of learning by community service is only required to be added as a
form of learning for the Diploma IV, undergraduate, professional, and specialist educational programs. However,
as with learning by research, this learning by community service also constitutes student activities under the
supervision of lecturers in order to utilize science and technology to increase the welfare of society and to create
a more intelligent national living.
The forms of learning above may be conducted within the study program and outside the study program. The
forms of learning outside the study program comprises a learning process that may comprise:
a. Learning in another study program at the same higher education institution;
b. Learning in the same study program at a different higher education institution;
c. Learning in another study program at a different higher education institution; and
d. Learning in in a non- higher education institution.
However, at present, the learning process outside the study program is only conducted for undergraduate
programs and applied undergraduate programs outside the field of medicine, according to the policy of
Independent Learning of the Ministry of Education and Culture.
23
feedback and an opportunity to discuss the results of assessment to students; and (d) documenting the
assessment of student learning process and results in an accountable and transparent manner.
The procedure of assessment by lecturers covers the stages of planning, providing assignments or problems,
observing performance, returning observation results, and providing final scores. The assessment procedure at
the stage of planning may be conducted through gradual assessment and/or re-assessment.
The execution of assessment is conducted according to the lesson plan as the measurement of Course Learning
Targets (CPMK), which is the aggregate of the Sub-Course Learning Targets (Sub-CPMK). The execution of
assessment may be conducted by (a) the teaching lecturer or the team of teaching lecturers; (b) the teaching
lecturer or the team of teaching lecturers with student participation; and/or (c) the teaching lecturer or the team
of teaching lecturers with participation of relevant stakeholders. Each of the course learning targets are then
aggregated by the study program to be utilized for measuring the achievement of Graduate Learning Targets
(CPL) that is reported to the Dean each year. However, in the case of assessment execution for the subspecialist,
doctoral, and applied doctoral programs, it is required to include an external evaluating lecturer from a different
higher education institution.
The right form of assessment must be based on the achievement indicators for the Course Learning Targets
(CPMK). Lecturers and students are expected to possess the same views toward the assessment model that is
conducted. As such, the process of equalizing perceptions toward the CPMK that are to be achieved must be
conducted since the beginning, with the expectation that once students have known about them, they can then
arrange the model of independent learning that is appropriate to their learning methods. The following table
provides examples of assessment forms and the forms of learning that may be assessed.

The composition of problems, assignments, and tests conducted by lecturers should consider the following
characteristics:
• Valid: verified for correctness
• Relevant: appropriate to competences, outcomes, or targets
• Specific: not biased
• Representative: supports elements of competence
• Balanced: appropriate to complexity of learning materials
• Open: appropriate to the RPS agreed upon by lecturers and students
25
UB lecturers are obliged to utilize the learning method that may be selected for the execution of learning in
courses as explained in section 4.8. The selected method requires a lecturer to be able to create innovations for
which the benefits will later be felt by students. The needs of learning innovation by lecturers require supporting
facilities that will be prepared by the faculty and department.
The characteristics of the utilized learning process and learning method should be dynamic and reflected in the
portfolio of the course after being executed, and thus it cannot be statically determined because it indeed must
follow the developments that occur during learning. Therefore, innovation must be continuously developed.

Quality assurance for the OBE curriculum has the true objective to conduct monitoring in the manner of
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), as can be seen in Figure 3.4. Each study program is formed by
establishing its vision and mission, which then becomes the basis in establishing the Study Program Educational
Objectives (TPP), and then becomes the foundation for establishing the Graduate Learning Targets (CPL) that
will be further implemented in detail in the Course Learning Targets (CPMK). As such, each study program di UB
27
must establish Course Learning Targets (CPMK) each semester, which are then evaluated and analyzed, and then
revised in order to refine the CPMK. Next, the study program also does the same for the Graduate Learning
Targets (CPL) based on the survey results of a tracer study, which is then followed by evaluation, analysis, and
revisions to refine the CPL. Then, each study program also at least once every 4 years conducts evaluation,
analysis, and revisions to refine the Study Program Educational Objectives (TPP). This is usually after conducting
a graduate tracer study 5-10 years after graduating from the study program.

CHAPTER IV
GUIDELINES FOR ONLINE LEARNING
A. INTRODUCTION
In online learning, there are two models of interaction between lecturers and students based on the
time of the learning process, which are synchronous learning and asynchronous learning. In synchronous
learning, lecturers and students conduct the learning process at the same time, and they are directly involved in
learning and discussions. In asynchronous learning, lecturers and students conduct the learning process at
different times, and they are indirectly involved in learning and discussions. Asynchronous learning provides
advantages such as comfort, flexibility, more interactions, and freedom to continue personal and professional
life responsibilities.
These two models of learning may be utilized in the entirety of learning activities. In conditions of
emergency, it is expected that lecturers do not obligate synchronous learning for all interactions because of the
limited Internet facilities that students may possess.
B. LEARNING MECHANISM
1. Mechanism of Synchronous Learning
a. Lecturers upload course materials to the Learning Management System (LMS) facilities of the Faculty
LMS, Google Classroom, and social media.
b. Lecturers give live online lectures through the broadcast facilities of applications such as Zoom, Google
Meet, Instagram (Live), and YouTube (Live Video).
c. Students participate in lectures by live streaming.
d. Students may discuss and ask questions to the lecturer through the conference or chatting features of
the applications.
e. Lecturers may give out assignments, quizzes, or tests through the LMS.
30
It is very much realized that in conditions of emergency, both lecturers and students possess difficulties in online
learning, particularly in achieving the learning objectives. Yet within the remaining time for learning activities,
with all the facilities that are possessed by UB, it is hoped that they will support the achievement of learning
objectives. Needs of instructional materials in online learning must be in accordance with the Semester Lesson
Plan (RPS) that had been composed at the start of the course.
The RPS for a course becomes the primary reference in the creation of instructional materials in online learning
as with the face-to-face activities that have always been conducted. In conditions of emergency, materials that
lecturers have possessed may be uploaded to the LMS present at UB (such as VLM UB, Google Classroom, Faculty
LMS, and so on) and/or e-mailed to students.
These instructional materials will be able to be accessed by students anytime and anywhere. It is expected that
the instructional materials will be able to trigger the motivation of students to learn independently and to discuss
learning with lecturers whether synchronously or asynchronously.
31
d. Usage of good words, sentences, and language; proper volume, tone of speaking, and intonation; and
appropriate and easily understandable speed of talking.
e. Wearing appropriate and proper clothing.
f. Usage of reasonable and appropriate gestures and maintenance of good attitude and behavior, such as
not smoking, not leaving a meeting without permission, not calling during a meeting, and others.
g. Staring at the speaker in online meetings such as through Google Meet or Zoom. It is expected not to
look left and right frequently while a speaker is talking, or even to leave the place.
h. Appreciation of opinions while communicating.
i. While communicating synchronously or asynchronously, maintaining ethics of sitting, standing, or any
other form of ethics that are required to be followed and conducted while communicating. If coughing
or sneezing, cover the mouth with hands to respect the speaker and other people that are around.
j. Not being emotional while communicating, attempting not to interrupt someone else while speaking.
k. Saying thanks when receiving help and apologizing if committing errors.
l. Respecting people who are more senior.
m. Usage of polite titles or terms of address.
n. Inclusion of humor in communication to be able to provide spirit and happiness during communication.

The primary task of the supervising team is to aid a student in completing the thesis, including:
1) Providing guidance and suggestions to the student in composing the thesis research proposal.
2) Conducting supervision for the execution of the thesis research and for the process of data analysis and
its interpretation, writing of the thesis, and writing of the article for scientific publication, as well as
being responsible toward the adequate quality of the thesis.
3) Being responsible for processes of activities and study completion time of the student according to the
established timeframe.
The following is the mechanism for assignment of thesis supervisors:
1) The student must have communicated with the supervisor candidates.
2) The student suggests 2 lecturers, of which at least one must be from the study program of the student.
3) Based on the data in point (1), the Chief of the Study Program examines, provides consideration, and
establishes the supervising team, before passing on the names for the supervising team that have been
established to the Dean of the Faculty to obtain a Decree.
4) Replacement of the first and/or second supervisor after the issuance of the Dean Decree is possible
only if either member of the supervising team becomes permanently unavailable or in the event that
an issue causes the thesis supervising process to not proceed. Changes to the supervising team are
based on objective reasons, as:
a) changes in the topic/title/substance of the thesis,
b) difficulty of communication and consultation between student and supervisor,
c) violations of the code of ethics/morals or harassment/intimidation, and
d) supervisors obtaining new positions/assignments that do not allow the thesis supervisory
process to be conducted well.
Requests of changes to the supervising team are submitted by a student to the Chief of the Study
Program and established by a Decree of the Dean of the Faculty according to the procedure for
establishing the supervising team.
36
3) Thesis Research Results Seminar
The requirements for the thesis research results seminar are a TOEFL score ≥ 475 issued by ITP or UB (LDC-
FEB, FIB, and Inbis) and a TPA OTO BAPPENAS score of at least 450.
The thesis research results seminar has the objective to measure or evaluate whether the research
conducted by a student is appropriate to be written or composed as a Master’s Program thesis. The thesis
research results seminar is conducted in front of the examining team for the thesis research results seminar
in an open setting. The composition of the examining team for the thesis research results seminar is the
same as for the examining team for the thesis proposal. The thesis research results seminar may be
conducted if it is attended by at least 3 out of the 4 members of the examining team (the 2 non-
supervising examiners must be present). If one of the examiners becomes unavailable on the day of the
seminar, the seminar must be rescheduled. The thesis research results seminar cannot be conducted
outside its forum. Scores are given by all present members of the examining team. The final score of the
thesis research results seminar is the average score from all examiners. The evaluation results are utilized
to decide whether or not the student may proceed with the thesis examination. The passing requirement
for the thesis research results seminar is an average grade of at least B for the student.
4) Thesis Examination
The thesis examination is the final examination of a Master’s Program student in the environment of the
Faculty, and is conducted in a closed setting. In the thesis examination, the student must be able to explain
the thesis logically and systematically, and defend it according to applicable scientific principles. The
examining team for the thesis examination is made up of 4 lecturers, with the same composition as for the
examining team for the thesis proposal and the examining team for the thesis research results seminar.
The thesis examination may be conducted if it is attended by at least 3 out of the 4 members of the
examining team (the 2 non-supervising examiners must be present), and is led by the first supervisor as
the head of the examining team. In the case that the first supervisor is unavailable for the thesis
examination, the second supervisor must be delegated to represent the first supervisor and act as the head
of the examining team. If one of the examiners becomes unavailable on the day of the examination, the
examination must be rescheduled. The thesis examination cannot be conducted outside its forum. If a
member of the examining team (outside the examining team) becomes unavailable, the Chief of the Study
Program designates a substitute lecturer possessing the same field of expertise as the thesis topic of the
student. Evaluation of the thesis examination is conducted by the examining team for the thesis
examination. Examination scores are given by all present members of the examining team. The final score
of the thesis examination is the average score from all examiners. The passing requirement for the thesis
examination is an average grade of at least B. If a lower grade is obtained, the student must repeat the
examination and is given 1 chance to do so. If the student does not pass again, the student is given a special
assignment (by agreement of the supervising team) to revise the thesis, or be declared to have failed the
studies.
5) Scientific Publication
Based on Brawijaya University Rector Regulation Number 52 of Year 2018 Article 3 Paragraph 1 on Scientific
Publications, these (published or accepted) constitute a requirement of students of Master’s Programs
for the thesis examination to be able to be conducted. Students are required to possess at least 1 scientific
article that has been published or accepted for publication. Scientific publications are required in:
- An international seminar proceeding indexed by Scopus, or
- An international journal indexed by Scopus or Web of Science Core Collection, or
- An accredited national journal or of the status of at least Sinta 2, or
- A UB Journal established by the Rector.
The supervising team is required to supervise the writing of the publication article and guide the selection
of seminars/journals for publication. Scientific publications are one of the components of evaluating the
learning results for the thesis. Evaluation of the scientific publication article is conducted by the supervising
team. Standards and criteria of evaluation follow applicable academic stipulations.
37
Referring to Brawijaya University Rector Regulation Number 52 of Year 2018, Article 3 Paragraph 2, the
Examining Team may suggest to the Dean that a student is declared to obtain a Thesis grade of A without
a thesis examination if the student has:
a) At least 2 scientific articles that have been published or accepted for publication in a scientific journal
of at least Sinta 2 accreditation, or
b) At least 1 scientific article that has been published or accepted for publication in a proceeding indexed
by Scopus, or
c) At least 1 scientific article that has been published or accepted for publication in an international
scientific journal indexed by Scopus or Web of Science Core Collection
c) An average grade of A for all stages of examination or seminar for the thesis
d) Had the thesis evaluated and approved by the supervising team, and disseminated in the forum of the
results seminar
Even with the incredible achievement of earning a grade of A without a thesis examination, the thesis must
still be written and turned in to the Academic Sub-Division of the Master’s Programs.
E. Administration for the Completion of Thesis Activities
1) After the student has completed the thesis examination and been declared to pass, the student is given
time of at most 2 weeks to make revisions and turn in the thesis to the Academic Sub-Division of the
Master’s Programs of the Faculty. The thesis must have already been signed by the Supervising Team
and the Chief of the Study Program.
2) If after a time of 2 weeks the student has not made the revisions and turned in the thesis to the
Academic Sub-Division of the Master’s Programs of the Faculty, the grade of the student is lowered by
one level. A grade of A becomes a B+, and a grade of B+ becomes a B.
3) If after a time of 1 month the revisions are not completed, the student must arrange to take the thesis
examination again, and the fees for the examination become the responsibility of the student.
4) If after a time of 2 months or more the revisions are still not completed, the student must repeat the
research with a new title and may request changes in the supervising team, for as long as the study
period is not yet over.

The organization of education in the Doctoral Programs in the environment of the Faculty is conducted through
Semester Credits. Doctoral Programs in the environment of the Faculty are fundamentally educational programs
that are oriented to research. Even so, in order to conduct a good research, it becomes necessary to master
theories that are related to the theme of the research to be conducted for the dissertation. As such, Doctoral
Programs in the environment of the Faculty requires students to take several courses within a curriculum. The
courses are to provide support for the research, and therefore the offered courses are designed as courses to
support the dissertation.
41
1) Credit Load and Length of Study
a) For students of doctoral programs in the environment of the Faculty whose Master’s educational
backgrounds are of the same or similar field, the study load is 42-52 credits composed of the

The outline of curriculum execution of Doctoral Programs in the environment of the Faculty is
summarized below:
Courses and Special Assignments
For students who possess a different field (not in-line), all matriculation courses must be taken in
semester 1, and thus the core courses of the doctoral program can only then be taken starting in
semester 2. For students who possess the same field (in-line), the core courses of the doctoral program
can be immediately taken in semester 1. The core courses of the doctoral program are required courses
of the study program and courses supporting the dissertation, for which the kinds and credit loads are
determined by each study program. Course activities in the doctoral program emphasize more on the
system of presenting and reviewing the discussion materials/topic for the course. Evaluation of the
courses is conducted by the lecturer or team of lecturers teaching the specific courses. The passing
requirement for each course is a grade of at least B. In addition to structured courses, doctoral study
programs in the environment of the Faculty may implement the provision of special assignments to
students. The form, requirements, and evaluation of the special assignments are left up to each study
program, while still following applicable principles and regulations.
42
Qualification Examination
The qualification examination is conducted to evaluate the academic capabilities of a student of a
doctoral program as a requirement for the dissertation proposal examination before conducting the
research activities for the dissertation. The requirement for taking the qualification examination is that
the student must have passed all courses that are provided with at least a grade of B. The materials
and components of evaluation for the qualification examination cover:
a) Comprehensive mastery of materials in the courses that have been taken in the curriculum,
both of theory and application in the field of research that becomes the study focus.
b) Reasoning capabilities, including capabilities to create abstractions, systematizations, and
formulations of ideas.
The passing requirement for the qualification examination is for the student to obtain a grade of at
least B from each examining lecturer. The methodology of the qualification examination is explained in
its own section.
Dissertation
A dissertation is the academic written work of the results of the study and/or in-depth research of a
student that is conducted independently and contains new contributions for the development of
science or the discovery of new answers for problems of science that is composed by the doctoral
candidate with the supervision of the Supervising Team (promotor and co-promotor). The supervising
process for the dissertation officially begins after the student has been declared to pass the
qualification examination. A student who has passed the qualification examination is required to
process the establishment of the supervising team immediately, which is composed of 1 promotor and
2 co-promotors. The establishment of the supervising team is conducted by the Dean of the Faculty by
suggestion of the Chief of the Study Program. After the student obtains a supervising team, the student
is required to consult with the supervisors for each academic activity that will be conducted.
Fundamentally, a dissertation may be evaluated based on:
a) Originality and contributions toward the field of discipline and/or value of application.
b) State-of-the-art methodologies and research approaches, depth of reasoning, and
fundamental mastery of theory.
c) Systematics of ideas and precision of problem formulation, discussion of research results, and
conclusion.
Activities for the dissertation cover the various details as stated in Table 6.2 point (c), and the study
program has the obligation of establishing the individual credit load of each of the components. Details
regarding the dissertation is explained in its own section.

conducted with consideration of the following matters:
1) Fulfillment of academic requirements.
2) Fulfillment of administrative requirements.
3) Fulfillment of study program carrying capacity.
The following is the procedure for new student registration for the Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs in
the environment of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences:
1) An applicant fills out an online form provided at the web address mipa.ub.ac.id after obtaining the
password.
2) The filled-out form is then printed (downloaded) in order to be sent directly (by post) to the address of
the Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs of the Faculty at:
Sub Bagian Akademik Program Magister dan Program Doktor
Fakultas MIPA Universitas Brawijaya
Jl. Veteran 2 Malang 65145
Tel./Fax. (0341) 554403
E-mail: pascamipa@ub.ac.id; pascamipa@gmail.com
These are attached to the application:
a) Latest passport photo of a size of 4 cm x 6 cm (4 copies).
b) Copies of diplomas and academic transcripts that have been legalized: Undergraduate/Sarjana
(for a Master’s Program), or Undergraduate and Master’s (for a Doctoral Program).
c) Letters of recommendation from two people who can provide an evaluation for the academic
capacity of the applicant.

of Brawijaya University.
Student candidates who are declared to fulfill the requirements (to pass the form selection) will be called to
participate in a written test and interviews. The objective of a written test and interviews is to find out the
academic capabilities of candidates in participating in Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs in the
environment of the Faculty. From the results of the conducted test, the selection team for Master’s Programs
52
and Doctoral Programs in the environment of the Faculty (as the authoritative institution to establish those who
pass selection) will pass on the names of candidates who pass selection to the Dean of the Faculty. The Dean of
the Faculty will then issue a Decree on the names of student candidates who are accepted as students of the
Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs in the environment of the Faculty.
B. Student Re-Registration
To meet the necessary demands of semester credits, the execution of education administration is conducted in
a centralized, with utilization of the online Academic Information System (SIAKAD). For a good execution of
semester credits, there are several administrative requirements that must be met:
1) Provision of Student ID (NIM)
2) Availability of guidebooks or manuals, which contain, among others:
a) General stipulations for education administration.
b) Courses for a study program according to its level, covering the position, characteristics, credit
loads, and prerequisites (if any).
c) Numbers of credits of required and elective courses for the completion of each study program.
d) The courses that are offered during the study.
3) Designation of lecturers Academic Supervisors, whose duties include:
a) Guiding students in composing study plans and providing considerations to students in selecting
courses to be taken for the current semester.
b) Providing considerations to students on the number of credits that may be taken.
c) Observing the developments in the studies of students who are being supervised.
d) Providing other advice that affect studies, whether directly or not.
e) Reporting the learning progress of students who are being supervised to the Dean.
All students (new and old) are required to conduct re-registration according to the scheduled times. Re-
registration of students is handled directly by the academic administration of the University and Faculty and is
conducted twice in each academic year, at the beginning of both the Odd Semester and Even Semester of the
academic year.
1) Objective
a) To regulate the execution academic activities in each semester.
b) To find out the size of the student body and the number of students who actively participate in
academic activities in each semester.
c) To obtain data on the activities and conditions of students.
2) Place and Time of Re-Registration
a) The place of re-registration is the Academic Division of the University and the Faculty.
b) The time of re-registration is in accordance with the established academic calendar, and there are
no extensions.
3) Requirements for Re-Registration
There are 2 kinds of registration, which are administrative registration (payment of tuition) and
academic registration (making online course selections). Payment of tuition is conducted at a Bank
designated by the University. Old students are required to perform online academic registration
through the SIAM. If there are any difficulties in performing administrative registration or academic
registration, the Faculty may be queried.
4) Failure of Re-Registration
a) A student who does not re-register in one semester without obtaining approval from the Rector is
declared to be inactive for the semester.
b) A student, for certain reasons, may request a temporary leave of absence to the Rector at most 1
week after the deadline for re-registration.
5) Additional Stipulations on Re-Registration
53
a) Students who obtain new student cards, but the data on the cards do not match student data, may
report to the Academic Sub-Division of the University to have the card replaced. The student may
temporarily use the student card until the student obtains a proper student card replacement.
b) Students who during re-registration cannot show the student cards of the previous semester (such
as due to loss) at the time of re-registration must show an approval from the Rector; the approval
is obtained by filing a request to the Rector with explanations of reasons that are affirmed by the
Dean of the Faculty.
c) Students who during re-registration cannot be present because of certain reasons may conduct re-
registration by sending a registered letter, telegram, and telex with notice of proof of delivery.
54
and Doctoral Programs of the Faculty. The overall attendance of a student in (face-to-face) meetings of
courses and practicum becomes the consideration in determining whether or not a student is permitted
to take the mid-/end-of-semester examinations.
2) Mid-/End-of-Semester Examinations
a) Mid-/End-of-Semester Examinations are only one of the components in determining the final grade of
a course, in addition to other components such as quizzes, structured assignments, seminars, and
others. Mid-/End-of-Semester Examinations organized by lecturers may be in the form of written,
spoken, or presentation exams.
b) Students are permitted to take the examinations if their overall attendance is at least 80%. If the
number of conducted (face-to-face) meetings of a course by a lecturer before the mid-semester
examination is less than six times, students are not evaluated for their attendance and all students are
permitted to take the mid-semester examinations. Similarly for the end-of-semester examinations,
student attendance evaluation is conducted if the number of (face-to-face) meetings of a course
reaches 12 or more times. If the number of (face-to-face) meetings is less than 12 times, all students
are permitted to take the end-of-semester examinations.
c) The results of attendance evaluation are announced before an examination is conducted. Notices from
a doctor or other notices that are utilized to indicate the absence for a course must be given to the
respective lecturer or to the Academic Sub-Division of the Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs
of the Faculty no later than the course meeting of the following week, and after that time, the student
is considered absent for the course.
d) Mid-/End-of-Semester Examinations are in principle conducted in a scheduled manner by the Academic
Sub-Division of the Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs of the Faculty. However, in certain
conditions, lecturers of courses may conduct examinations outside the established schedule, with
agreement with students and the Chief of the Study Program.
e) Lecturers are required to submit examination problems (at the least their outlines) to the examination
committee no later than three days before the course examination is to be conducted for the purpose
of academic documentation and duplication (if necessary).
f) The examination committee is required to maintain the confidentiality of examination problems.
g) Students who are marked down for their attendance are not allowed to take the examinations.
Students who cannot attend an examination due to illness or other matters that may be justifiable are
required to submit valid notices from a doctor or other notices to the Academic Sub-Division of the
Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs of the Faculty no later than three days after the absence for
the examination. Notices from a doctor or other notices that are submitted after the established time
are declared inapplicable and the student is considered to be absent for the course examination.
55
4) The time of the leave of absence is not factored into the limit of study length. If the leave of absence is
caused by academic sanctions or other punishments imposed by the university or other government
institutions, the time of the leave of absence is factored into the limit of study length.
5) The request for a leave of absence is made online through the Student Information System.
H. Student Transfers
Master’s Programs and Doctoral Programs of the Faculty only accept student transfers from other state
higher education institutions for the appropriate study programs if the capacity allows.

CHAPTER XVI
DOCTORAL STUDY PROGRAM OF MATHEMATICS
B. Introduction
Mathematics becomes the basis for the development of science and technology of other fields. Based on the
objective, mathematics is often divided in two, as pure mathematics and applied mathematics. Pure mathematics
answers various questions in mathematics itself without any consideration of its application, while applied
mathematics answers various questions outside the context of mathematics such as in the fields of biology, physics,
economy, or engineering. Yet in fact, there is no clear boundary between the two because both of them are
interrelated and reinforce each other. Practical applications of what results from pure mathematics are often found
at a later time. Conversely, the application of mathematics also often motivates the development of mathematics
itself. The application of mathematics is inescapable from mathematical modeling. Mathematical modeling has the
objective to describe various aspects of the real world, including their interactions and dynamics, through
mathematics. Solutions of mathematical models may be determined quickly and accurately through the approach of
computational mathematics, which allows simulations to understand phenomena or technological design processes
to be conducted.
Mathematical modeling and computation at present are important tools for qualitative and quantitative
analyses, which allow researchers to build and test models of complex phenomena that may not be able to be
replicated in the laboratory as well as experiments that cannot be performed because they are too dangerous or
demand sophisticated facilities and therefore are too expensive to be realized. As such, mathematical modeling and
computation are seen as the third pillar in scientific investigations, after theoretical analysis and experiments. This
is in line with the vision, mission, and objectives of the Doctoral Study Program of Mathematics of UB, in that research
is directed to development of mathematical theories, mathematical models, mathematical methods, and its
computation to solve problems in the fields of natural science and industry.
One of the advantages of the Doctoral Study Program of Mathematics of UB is scientific research and
development based on the track record of concentration groups that will become the primary support of the
education and research process. The Study Program possesses five concentrations, which are Physical Mathematics,
Biological Mathematics, Statistics and Optimization, Analysis, and Computational Science, that are coordinated by a
Full Professor or Associate Professor with a doctoral degree. Several studies in these concentration groups have been
