Thesis Schemes

There are two thesis schemes that students can choose: (1) regular/non-class scheme (nonkelas) and (2) scholarly article scheme (artikel ilmiah).

In the regular/non-class scheme (nonkelas), students finish writing their thesis, submit the thesis soft cover, undergo thesis defense, and finally submit the thesis paper to scholarly publication (academic journal or conference) after the process is complete. The thesis is graded based on the thesis content, supervisory process, and thesis defense process.

In the scholarly article scheme (artikel ilmiah), students finish writing their thesis and submit the thesis paper to scholarly publication (academic journal or conference) before submitting the thesis soft cover and undergo thesis defense. The thesis defense is in the form of poster presentation. The thesis is graded based on the status of submission at scholarly publication (submitted, under review, revised, or accepted).

Thesis Course Schemes

There are two thesis course schemes that students can choose: (1) 6-credit Thesis course and (2) 2+4-credit Pre-Thesis and Thesis courses.

The 6-credit Thesis course is the thesis course that students take in one semester.

The 2+4-credit Pre-Thesis and Thesis courses are two courses that students take in two different semesters but are considered as one thesis course. Students first take the 2-credit Pre-Thesis course with thesis proposal as the output. In the next semester, students take the 4-credit Thesis course. With this scheme, students can take thesis courses at the same semester as 3+1 enrichment programs or the Kampus Merdeka program, and outstanding students can aim to graduate in 7 semesters. The requirement to choose this scheme is a GPA greater than or equal to 3.25.
