In his remarks, Prof. Mas’ud Said explained: “We’re focused on optimizing human resources and advancing technology within Unisma’s Postgraduate Program, so the public continues to place greater trust in our quality and strengths.”

“Unisma’s Postgraduate Program has earned BAN-PT accreditation at both A and B ratings. We’re also in the process of establishing a Doctoral Program in Government Studies, which will open up substantial opportunities for FIA bachelor’s graduates to continue on to both master’s and doctoral study at Unisma’s Postgraduate Program.”

“Our policy of supporting further study also includes offering FIA bachelor’s alumni special discounts and streamlined access to the master’s program. Fresh graduates receive a 25 percent discount, while non-fresh graduates receive 20 percent. This represents a real opportunity for you to build the credentials needed to compete effectively in the job market after graduation.”
