This diverse professional background demonstrates the MM Program’s ability to attract practitioners from multiple sectors who recognize the added value of advanced management education in strengthening their career trajectories.
The RPL program is an academic initiative that grants formal recognition to individuals with relevant professional experience or non-formal education. Through this mechanism, students undertake coursework tailored to their existing competencies, enabling them to accelerate their studies and earn a Master in Management degree recognized within the professional sphere.
UNISMA’s RPL program is administered collaboratively by the study program and the Institute for Learning Development and Educational Relevance (LP2RP). Registration follows a dedicated mechanism accessible via the official RPL portal at rpl.unisma.ac.id.
This milestone further reinforces UNISMA’s reputation as an institution that values not only theoretical rigor but also professional experience. The RPL pathway is expected to expand further, attracting more professionals to pursue postgraduate education and contributing to the development of competitive, high-quality human resources in the global arena.
With the admission of 33 RPL students, the MM Program continues to strengthen its standing as a credible and industry-relevant center for management education, reaffirming UNISMA’s commitment to delivering accessible and high-quality higher education to the wider community.
