Aim and Competency

 

Master Program in Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine-Universitas Brawijaya (PMIB FKUB)

The Expected Learning Outcomes

According to Indonesian Qualification Framework (KKNI), the competencies of graduates should include competencies in the knowledge literacy, specific skills, generic skills, and attitude. The competencies in knowledge literacy and specific skills are designated by the association of study program that is the Indonesian Consortium of Biomedical Sciences (KIBI). Whereas, the competencies in generic skills and attitude are set in the National Standard for Higher Education (SN-DIKTI).

Agreement of Indonesian Consortium of Biomedical Sciences (KIBI)

In accordance with the agreement of KIBI at the 1st National Conference in Depok Campus of Universitas Indonesia on August 26-27, 2015, the graduates of master program of biomedical sciences should achieve the following competencies:

  1. Knowledge literacy: Ability to master the theoretical concepts of morphology and also physiological and pathological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels.
  2. Specific skill: Ability to apply and develop the analytical techniques in morphology and also physiological and pathological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels, as well as ability to interpret the results of analysis.

Indonesian Qualification Framework (KKNI)

Based on KKNI, the graduates of master program should achieve the level 8 qualification, including:

  1. Ability to solve the problem in science and technology through inter- or multidisciplinary approach.
  2. Ability to develop science and technology through an innovative and tested research.
  3. Ability to manage a research that benefit the community and science development, and is able to obtain national and international recognition.

In addition, at every level of qualification, the graduates should achieve the following attitudes:

  1. Believe in God Almighty.
  2. Have a noble moral value and good personality.
  3. Serve as citizens who take pride and love of the homeland and support world peace.

Every year, an assessment of the achievement of graduate competency standards related to attitudes, skills, and knowledge is also conducted. This assessment process is carried out through a questionnaire completed at the end of the semester. The questionnaire results can be viewed in the Monev S2 Biomedik Semester Genap TA 2024-2025.

Information Related to the Identification of Community and Industry Needs

Based on the KIBI Decree No. 10/SK/KIBI/VI/2025, the Biomedical Science Master’s curriculum has been developed with consideration of community and industry needs. The graduate competencies are designed to enable students to address health-related issues through a multidisciplinary approach, supported by UB’s integrated information systems (such as GAPURA, BRONE, and ELEVATE), which provide data on stakeholder needs identification and evaluation. Thus, the Biomedical Science Master’s Program has established clear evidence and mechanisms for identifying the needs of the community, businesses, and industry.
