Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemendikbudristek) allows students to study at other universities. One of the programs is the Institutional Support System program (ISS). Faculty of Law 51动漫 (FH UNAIR) supports the ISS MBKM program and collaborates with other universities in the context of student exchange for ISS MBKM.
Two students who took part in the ISS MBKM program at FH UNAIR, Ahmad Irwansyah, and Sisilawanti, came from the University of Mataram. Through an interview with FH News on Wednesday (2/11/2022), Ahmad said the ISS MBKM program was different from the PMM MBKM program because the ISS MBKM program was the result of a collaboration between FH UNAIR and their home campus. The ISS MBKM program aims to improve the human resources of collaborating campuses.
“In this program, there are only ten students sent to UNAIR. Two of them, Sisil and I, entered FH UNAIR. The rest went to engineering majors at UNAIR or other campuses,” explained Ahmad.
Sisil explained that to join the MBKM ISS program, you only need to undergo an administrative selection and interview session. Sisil, Ahmad, and eight other students from Mataram University were the first batch of the MBKM ISS program.
They also talked about their favorite subjects and lecturers while studying at FH UNAIR. Ahmad said he liked the Corruption Criminal Law course Iqbal Felisiano, S.H., LL.M taught. According to him, the delivery method in the Corruption Criminal Law class is not limited to PowerPoint slides, which are very interactive and easy to understand.
“I like the Legal Professional Ethics and Legal Philosophy courses because we are really made to think there. The lecturer also makes a picture that finally makes our minds open and think radically or think down to the roots. I think it’s exciting,” Sisil continued.
Ahmad and Sisil took 22 credits (Semester Credit Units) in this fifth semester, or about nine courses. Both admitted that they had difficulty attending one of the courses at FH UNAIR because they only entered when the lecture was already running in the third week.
“We are a little less familiar with the International Trade Law course because the material is also very varied. In addition, the Criminal and Civil Practicum courses are also difficult because they have to go on trial until the evening. Still, overall they are both fun, and Thank God we managed to follow them well,” said Sisil.
In closing, Ahmad and Sisil expressed their hopes for FH UNAIR. They hope that FH UNAIR will be more successful and maintain its ranking. They also admitted that the facilities at FH UNAIR in supporting lectures were excellent.
“Hopefully the Pringgodigdo Building will be completed quickly,” concluded Ahmad.
