The curriculum for the master's and doctoral programs at UIII is meticulously structured to ensure graduates attain a profound mastery of their respective disciplines within the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework. It encompasses courses targeting the development of general, core, and supporting competencies necessary for obtaining graduate qualifications.
