In her remarks, Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., emphasized the significance of the session for students. The academic handbook serves as a primary reference to help students navigate their academic journey in a more structured and focused manner.

“There are two main objectives of this activity: improving the quality of graduates and enhancing the quality of curriculum and learning experiences. The academic and curricular information presented in this handbook will help students to graduate on time, acquire knowledge and skills relevant to the job market, and ensure a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience at FEB UNS,” she explained.

Prof. Tri further added that the handbook also provides a comprehensive understanding of academic regulations, including lecture procedures, scientific writing guidelines, and the stages of final project completion. With this information, students are expected to design more effective learning strategies, enabling them not only to graduate but also to gain competencies that are relevant to professional settings.

The handbook covers various essential aspects, including the vision and mission of UNS and FEB, organizational governance, academic regulations, curriculum, and supporting facilities. It is divided into three categories the Undergraduate Programs: Accounting, Management, Development Economics, and Digital Business. Master’s Programs covering the Master of Accounting (MAKSI), Master of Economics and Development Studies (MESP), and Master of Management (MM), and lastly the Doctoral Program in Economics (PDIE) with specializations in Accounting, Management, and Economics.

In addition to the launching session, the event also addressed the latest regulations regarding student internships. Vice Dean for Student and Alumni Affairs, Tastaftiyan Risfandy, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., explained that internships at FEB UNS are divided into two categories: compulsory internships and independent internships. The compulsory internship is part of the curriculum, worth 3 credits, and requires submission of a final report. Meanwhile, the independent internship is initiated by students, carries no credit load, and does not require reporting. Detailed information on internship programs is included in the Academic Handbook.

As a parallel session of the event, students participated in breakout room sessions led by each Head of Study Program. During these sessions, students received more in-depth explanations about the curriculum, academic regulations, and learning strategies specific to their programs. The interactive sessions provided opportunities for students to ask questions directly and obtain information tailored to their academic needs.

Through the launch of this Academic Handbook, FEB UNS hopes that all students can follow a clearer academic path, understand their rights and responsibilities, and make full use of the available learning facilities. This initiative also reaffirms FEB UNS’s commitment to supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) through strengthened learning systems, Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through internship regulations, and Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through the provision of modern learning facilities.

Prof. Agung Nur Probohudono, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Ak., CA., CFrA., Head of PDIE, stated in his opening remarks that the event was organised in response to Rector’s Regulation No. 22 of 2024 on the Management and Implementation of Master’s and Doctoral Programs.

“This Rector’s Regulation will certainly brought out various new regulations, which then need to be implemented into PDIE’s curriculum structure. The presence of the Head of LPPMP in this particular occastion is intended to provide direction and foster a unified understanding among PDIE lecturers regarding how the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) should be developed,” he explained.

Prof. Sarwanto elaborated on the implementation of an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum model at UNS. OBE is an educational approach that emphasises the learning outcomes students must achieve upon completing a course. The approach ensures graduates are equipped with skills relevant to current industry and societal needs.

“In the OBE curriculum, learning outcomes—or Capaian Pembelajaran Lulusan (CPL)—are the key. These outcomes are determined by the Study Program and then mapped to individual courses. Thus, lecturers no longer select CPLs independently, as they are already predefined by the Study Program. Faculty members are mandated to deliver these outcomes as assigned, and this is the central principle,” he explained.

He also stated that each curriculum document must include a matrix linking each course with the CPLs, enabling proper distribution and ensuring that all CPLs are comprehensively addressed across courses.

Following the issuance of Rector’s Regulations No. 21 and 22 of 2024, all curricula at UNS are required to be based on CPLs. Therefore, the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) must also reflect this orientation. Each RPS must contain the following components: Study Program name, course name and code, semester, credit load, and name of course instructors; CPLs assigned to the course; Targeted learning outcomes for each session; Topics relevant to the intended learning outcomes; Learning methods; Time allocation for each learning outcome; Student learning experiences described in the form of semester tasks; Assessment criteria, indicators, and weightings; and List of references used. In addition, each RPS must be regularly reviewed and updated in line with advancements in science and technology.

Prof. Sarwanto also introduced new features in the Academic Information System (Siakad), where once a lecturer finalises their RPS, they simply need to click submit. The system will then forward the RPS to all instructors involved in the course, including the course coordinator. If adjustments are needed, the RPS will be returned to the drafter until it is approved by the Head of Study Program—making the process more streamlined.

Concluding the session, Prof. Sarwanto also presented an overview of the By-Research Doctoral Track and the PMDSU curriculum model, expanding the discussion to align with national standards and institutional goals for graduate education.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Samudro expressed his appreciation to the program coordinators and teaching faculty for their commitment to participating in the curriculum development process. He emphasized the importance of this initiative in aligning academic programs with recent regulatory changes and improving academic management processes.

Prior to this workshop, a preparatory session was held involving the program managers of the Master’s and Doctoral programs. The session focused on discussing key points from two regulatory documents: the Ministerial Regulation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Permendikbudristek) No. 53 of 2023 on Quality Assurance in Higher Education, and UNS Rector’s Regulation No. 22 of 2024 concerning the management and implementation of Master’s and Doctoral programs at the university.

Several critical issues were addressed during the workshop discussions. These included adjustments in the number of credit units (SKS) to align with the updated curriculum structure, reassignment of faculty members who have recently completed their studies, and improvements in academic management—particularly in the administration of examinations.

Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs at FEB, emphasized that the workshop was designed to support academic programs in revising their curricula in response to the new ministerial and university-level regulations. She noted that both Master’s and Doctoral programs must revise their curricula accordingly.

“One major change involves the adjustment of credit loads. Under the new guidelines, the Master’s program requires 54 to 60 credit units, while the Doctoral program must comprise a minimum of 60 credits,” Prof. Mulyaningsih explained.

According to her, UNS has already provided guidelines on how these changes can be incorporated—such as simplifying but increasing the credit weight of key components like thesis and dissertation stages. Additionally, if deemed necessary, programs are encouraged to recalibrate the content and direction of their course offerings to increase their relevance and attract more students.

“This curriculum shift should aim for greater precision and relevance in response to societal developments,” she added.

Importantly, these curriculum changes are not intended to increase the academic burden or extend the study period for students, but rather to sharpen the academic focus of the programs.

The updated curriculum will apply to new students admitted in 2025 (starting February intake), while current students will continue under the existing curriculum. A transitional mechanism will be implemented to ensure that the process runs smoothly, particularly for students nearing the end of their programs. Regarding publication requirements, the standards remain unchanged: Master’s students are required to publish in SINTA-3 or higher-ranked national journals or international journals, while Doctoral students must publish in Scopus-indexed international journals as a prerequisite for thesis defense.

Prof. Mulyaningsih views Permendikbudristek No. 53/2023 as a valuable opportunity for academic programs to comprehensively review and update their curricula. “This is a timely moment for programs and the faculty to revitalize the curriculum to ensure that it remains responsive and aligned with the demands of the evolving academic and professional landscape,” she concluded.

In his opening remarks, Prof. Agung Nur Probohudono, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Ak., CA., CFrA., Head of PDIE, emphasized that this event served as a platform for discussion. He highlighted the importance of input from students, faculty, and alumni in advancing PDIE FEB UNS.

He also noted that the sarasehan was a moment of gratitude for PDIE’s journey over the past 16 years. “We are gathered here to express our gratitude for PDIE reaching its 16th year, marking its second lustrum as part of FEB UNS,” he stated.

Prof. Agung reported that, based on data from the Academic Information System (SIAKAD), PDIE currently has 155 active students and 186 graduates, expressing his hope for the enrolled students to complete their studies in a timely manner.

He further explained that, according to UNS Rector’s Regulation No. 22 of 2024 on the Management and Implementation of Master’s and Doctoral Programs, doctoral students may complete their studies in a minimum of five semesters, with a maximum study period of six years (12 semesters).

In this occasion, Dr. Siti Aisyah Tri Rahayu, S.E., M.Si., was introduced as the Head for the Development Economics track, while Dr. Hidajat Hendarsjah, S.Si., M.M., was introduced as the Head for the Management track. Additionally, the forum marked the official establishment of the Himpunan Mahasiswa Program Doktor Ilmu Ekonomi (HMPDIE), a student association for PDIE students, with Adhitya Agri Putra, a student from the 2022 first academic session, appointed as its first chairman.

Prior to this occasion, PDIE did not have a formal student association. The establishment of HMPDIE is expected to facilitate various academic and extracurricular activities and serve as a bridge between students and the PDIE administration for conveying feedback and addressing concerns.

The sarasehan was conducted successfully, with valuable input, suggestions, and constructive feedback from faculty, students, and alumni. These contributions will play an important role in helping PDIE achieve academic excellence and strengthen its reputation both nationally and internationally.

The UT delegation, led by Dr. Joko Rizkie Widokarti, S.E., M.M., Vice Director II for Non-Academic Affairs, was warmly welcomed by FEB UNS leadership, Head of the Master of Management program, Doctoral Program in Economics, and the Quality Assurance Unit.

The collaboration aims to establish institutional collaboration between the two entities in executing the Tridharma of Higher Education at the postgraduate level as specified in the proposed partnership agreement. This collaboration will cover education, research, and community service activities.

In education field, the initiatives will involve faculty member exchanges for guest lectures, expert sessions and teaching collaborations, curriculum design and review, development and assessment of instructional materials, creation of tutorial modules, implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, and practice sessions. As for research field, the collaboration will include collaborative studies, joint publications, journal reviews, co-authored books and references, and joint committees for international seminars. Meanwhile, community service collaboration will involve joint community engagement programs, shared content development for service initiatives, and joint publications of results.

In his opening remarks, Bhimo Rizky Samudro, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Dean of FEB UNS, extended a warm welcome to the UT delegation and introduced FEB leadership ranks in attendance. Dr. Bhimo emphasized the need of collaboration, particularly in supporting the international accreditation efforts of FEB UNS through research groups, specialized areas, and other academic activities.

Dr. Joko Rizkie Widokarti extended his gratitude for FEB UNS’s exceptional hospitality, noting the impressive scale of UT’s operations, this semester UT sees a total of 662,000 active student registrations out of a total of 1.4 million students. He further highlighted the challenges faced by the graduate program. “Thanks to FEB UNS for establishing a partnership with us, thus, hopefully we can solve the need for thesis supervisor, expert discussant, considering that the graduate study have approximately 2,000 students with only 70 lecturers across 11 study programs,” he explains.

Dr. Joko also shared that UT’s Graduate School has achieved the highest accreditation from LAMEMBA, further solidifying its commitment to partnerships like this one with FEB UNS.

The discussion, moderated by Dr. Lilik Wahyudi, S.E., M.Si., Head of the Master of Management Program, proceeded smoothly and concluded with an exchange of souvenirs and a group photo.

The event, attended by both alumni and students of PDIE, featured three distinguished speakers: Dr. Erna Setiany, M.Si, Ak., Vice Rector of Universitas Mercu Buana; Dr. Anto Prabowo, MBA., Senior Advisor to the Financial Services Authority (OJK); and Dr. Rochmat Aldy Purnomo, M.Si., from Universitas Muhammadiyah Ponorogo.

In her opening speech, Prof. Dr. Rahmawati, M.Si., Ak., Interim Head of the PDIE Program, explained that this event is part of an annual routine aimed at strengthening connections between alumni and current students.

This year, PDIE invited speakers from different specializations: Dr. Erna, representing the Accounting focus; Dr. Anto from the Management focus; and Dr. Rochmat Aldy from the Development Economics focus.

Prof. Rahmawati also highlighted the crucial role of PDIE alumni in supporting the program’s accreditation process. With over 155 alumni already recorded, their participation is essential in upcoming activities. PDIE is set for re-accreditation in 2026 using the Lamemba instrument.

Additionally, Prof. Rahmawati shared feedback from an assessor in 2022, suggesting the separation of the PDIE program into three distinct doctoral programs: PDIE for Development Economics, Doctoral Program in Accounting (PDIA), and Doctoral Program in Management (PDIM). “This would make sense because alignment is essential. Development Economics should stay under PDIE, while Management and Accounting should each have their own proposals,” she explained.

Regarding the typical study duration, Prof. Rahmawati noted that students usually complete their studies in an average of 4.2 years, with the ideal time frame being between 3 to 4 years. If students receive a scholarship for a 3-year program, it can be extended for an additional year.

She encouraged the students by saying, “Stay motivated and listen to the three alumni speakers. I hope their insights will inspire you to finish your studies on time, ideally within 3 to 4 years. Delaying beyond that can negatively affect the program’s average completion time.”

The PDIE program has also engaged in various activities involving international speakers and has established collaborative research and supervision partnerships.

Meanwhile, Dr. H. Abdul Kharis Almasyhari, S.E., M.Si., AKT., CA., Chairman of the PDIE Alumni Association, expressed continued support for the program.

“From the beginning, as the first cohort of PDIE alumni, we’ve hoped to see the program’s quality continuously improve. We urge the program administrators not to tolerate any decline in quality. We are ready to help maintain and enhance the PDIE program so that it can stand alongside other advanced doctoral programs from leading universities,” he stated.

He also hoped that with more alumni from various disciplines and work environments, PDIE UNS would gain greater recognition. The three speakers, Dr. Erna, Dr. Anto, and Dr. Aldy, shared valuable insights and motivated the attendees, most of whom were PDIE students.

Initiated by the Doctoral Program in Economics (PDIE) at FEB UNS, the community engagement event takes on the topic of “Arabian Food Training: Culinary Innovation through Arabian Food Product Diversification for Mangkubumen Culinary MSMEs.”

Over twenty members of the Mangkubumen PKK (Family Welfare Program), led by Mientansih, participated in the event. Mientansih expressed gratitude to FEB UNS, particularly PDIE FEB UNS, for introducing the attendees to Libyan cuisine.

“Through this Libyan cooking demonstration, I hope the participants will gain as much knowledge as possible. They will see the process and results, and hopefully replicate it or even start selling it. We also have a cooking kitchen in the PKK unit, so we hope to exchange knowledge with the speakers. Thank you to the UNS students for their assistance,” said the 81-year-old Mientansih.

Dr. Dwi Prasetyani, S.E., M.Si., Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Research, and Student Affairs, thanked all participants for attending the agenda. Such community service activities are a routine endeavor for PDIE FEB, representing a collaboration between faculty members and students to benefit the community.

Prof. Dr. Rahmawati, M.Si., Ak., Head of the PDIE Program, stated that this activity served as a networking opportunity between FEB UNS faculty members and the Mangkubumen community. She noted that the event qualifies as international community service because it involved not only UNS team members but also international participants.

“This activity focuses on the development of culinary MSMEs, with Libyan student speakers and participants from the PKK group. It empowers women who were previously unaware of foreign cuisines and now have the opportunity to learn and potentially start side businesses,” she explained.

The community service involved students from undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs. The outcomes of the event will be disseminated through YouTube videos, printed media, the FEB UNS website, and publications in community service journals.

Concluding the event, Dean of FEB UNS, Prof. Drs. Djoko Suhardjanto, M.Com.(Hons)., Ph.D., Ak., expressed gratitude to all attendees, including PKK members, leadership, FEB UNS lecturers, and students.

“I hope this activity introduces Libyan cuisine and cooking methods to a wider audience, and that participants enjoy the dishes. If they align with our culture, they might be incorporated into our cuisine. Thank you, Middle Eastern food is truly delicious,” he concluded.

Aside from enhancing publication quality, the joint supervision program also aims to provide international exposure for PDIE students, maintain established international partnerships between UNS and overseas higher education institution partners, and expand international research networks through direct academic activities in the form of examination and supervision by external co-supervisors. The program also contributes to accelerating UNS’s global academic reputation in line with its World Class University agenda. In 2024, the Study Program selected three doctoral students—Faris Shalahuddin Zaky, Siti Nurlaela, and Kiswanto—to participate in the joint supervision program.

Faris Shalahuddin Zaky is conducting research on the role of intellectual capital and Sharia governance in zakat performance. He has published an article entitled “Sharia Governance and Organizational Performance in Zakat Management Organization: Evidence from Indonesia,” while his three additional articles are currently under review and revision. His upcoming publications include studies on the role of Sharia Supervisory Board diversity in zakat performance and customer capital efficiency in zakat performance.

Siti Nurlaela is pursuing research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) research interests. She has one article currently undergoing review and revision, with upcoming publications focusing on the effect of political connections and CSR on financial performance, as well as studies on good corporate governance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in relation to financial performance.

Meanwhile, Kiswanto’s research focuses on corporate internet reporting. He has two articles under review and revision, with planned publications entitled “Corporate Internet Reporting in the ASEAN Banking Sector” and “A Comparison of Corporate Internet Reporting in Asian Countries.”

Furthermore, she reveals that joint supervision is most effective when conducted with professors who have published in top-tier international journals or journals ranked ABS 4; have published ABS 4–ranked articles with their former doctoral supervisors and former doctoral students; and have collaborated with leading scholars in specific fields. Invited professors are also expected to have managerial experience at universities holding triple crown accreditation.

Prof. Andrea Moro from Cranfield University, United Kingdom, was selected to take part in the joint supervision program as the co-supervisor for Faris Shalahuddin Zaky, while Prof. Dr. Corina Joseph serves as co-supervisor for Siti Nurlaela and Kiswanto. The joint supervision activities were conducted virtually via Zoom to provide feedback on article drafts, as well as through email correspondence. In addition, the Study Program invited Prof. Andrea Moro and Prof. Dr. Corina Joseph for a four-day visit to deliver workshops and provide direct academic supervision.

The UNEJ delegation was welcomed by the Vice Dean for Planning, Business, Collaboration, and Information Affairs FEB UNS; the Heads of the PDIE, MESP, and Development Economics Study Programs; Professors from FEB; the Head of Economic Studies; and the Coordinator of Monitoring, Evaluation, and Audit FEB UNS.

Tastaftiyan Risfandy, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., Vice Dean for Planning, Business, Collaboration, and Information Affairs at FEB UNS, warmly welcomed the Dean of FEB UNEJ and the accompanying delegation, followed by introducing the attending leadership team and faculty members.

Tastaftiyan expressed hope that the UNEJ visit would bring valuable insights to FEB UNS. “Thank you for your visit. This month, we’ve had several visits, including discussions on international classes. These visits have been beneficial as we learn ways to enhance management at FEB UNS, especially in PDIE. Although we’ve been developing for a while, there is always room to improve program management, course structure, and various other aspects through shared learning,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. Isti Fadah, M.Si., Dean of FEB UNEJ, expressed appreciation for FEB UNS’s hospitality and introduced the UNEJ delegation, which included 14 members, such as the Dean, Deputy Dean II, Department Heads, Program Coordinators, Senate Chair, and faculty members.

Prof. Isti Fadah also noted that this was UNEJ’s first visit to UNS as part of its effort to establish closer relations, as UNS has already achieved PTNBH (Legal Entity State University) status, a goal UNEJ is currently working towards. She hopes UNEJ will soon be approved for PTNBH status.

The second purpose of the visit was to discuss the curriculum redesign and comparison for the doctoral program in economics. “This visit aligns with the doctoral program’s curriculum redesign efforts, following the new ministerial regulation that mandates an increase in credits for master’s and doctoral programs. We are benchmarking with PDIE FEB UNS to align with the necessary adjustments,” she explained.

She hopes that this benchmarking will provide a solid foundation for the curriculum redesign, aiming to optimize the curriculum and achieve better outcomes.

The event continued with a curriculum discussion between UNEJ and FEB UNS, moderated by Tri Mulyaningsih, Ph.D., Head of Development Economics at PDIE FEB UNS.
