FSM UNDIP Strengthens Global Competitiveness, Three FSM UNDIP Study Programs Undergo ASIIN International Accreditation

Three study programs at the Faculty of Science and Mathematics (FSM), Universitas Diponegoro, namely the Bachelor’s Program in Mathematics, Bachelor’s Program in Physics, and Bachelor’s Program in Statistics, conducted a series of international accreditation visitations by ASIIN on May 13–14, 2026. The on-site assessment activities took place in the 4th Floor Meeting Room (L401) of the Acintya Prasada Building, FSM UNDIP, and began with an opening session attended by the university leadership at the UNDIP Rectorate Building.

The visitation was carried out by the ASIIN expert team consisting of Prof. Dr. Thomas Götz from the University of Koblenz, Prof. Dr. Stefan Roth from RWTH Aachen University, Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Kiesel from the University Duisburg-Essen, Dr. Arie Wahyu from Politeknik Statistika STIS, and student representative Jihan Shafiyah ZT from Universitas Brawijaya. The activities were also accompanied by ASIIN staff member Timur Schmidt.

The implementation of this international accreditation is part of FSM UNDIP’s commitment to strengthening the quality of higher education based on global standards while supporting the vision of Universitas Diponegoro as a World Class University. Through this assessment process, the three study programs demonstrated their readiness in various aspects, including curriculum, learning processes, academic governance, human resource quality, and the relevance of graduates to industry needs and scientific development.

The Dean of FSM UNDIP, Prof. Dr. Kusworo Adi, S.Si., M.T., stated that ASIIN international accreditation is a strategic step toward enhancing international recognition of the educational quality at FSM UNDIP. According to him, this process not only serves as an institutional evaluation mechanism but also opens opportunities for strengthening global partnerships, increasing academic mobility, and improving graduates’ competitiveness at the international level.

Throughout the visitation process, the assessors conducted various evaluation agendas, including discussions with university and faculty leaders, meetings with study program coordinators, lecturers, students, alumni, and industry partners. The expert team also reviewed learning support facilities and laboratories within FSM UNDIP to assess the readiness of academic infrastructure in supporting education and research activities.

Through this assessment process, the Bachelor’s Programs in Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics at FSM UNDIP continue striving to create an educational ecosystem that is excellent, adaptive, and relevant to global challenges. Strengthening quality through international accreditation is expected to positively impact the improvement of learning quality, research development, and graduates’ readiness to compete in both national and international job markets.
