The undergraduate study program offers students to study under the KRS (Kartu Rencana Studi – Course Selection Sheet) system. Students are initially required to be able to plan their period of study in accordance with their selected courses of interest. The period of study for the Undergraduate Program is dependent on the amount of credits (SKS) each student takes each semester (a maximum of 24 credits is allowed). As for graduation, students are required to have completed all the determined credit load to graduate. The application of such a system in the Undergraduate Program allows students to become more independent and provides students with the opportunity of choosing their own courses of interest.
