The Master’s Program in Physics is organized into two terms (semesters) per academic year, where one period typically spans 16 weeks of educational activities. To weigh the load of courses offered in a period, UI employs a credit unit system known as “SKS.” One SKS is equivalent to a 1-hour (50-minute) lecture followed by 60 minutes of structured learning activity (e.g., assignments) and 60 minutes of independent learning activity per week.
The by-course track created the curriculum to yield professionals or experts in academia/research, industry, hospitals, and other multinational companies. The graduate from this track can learn and adapt quickly to the industrial work environment and solve problems in their work area by applying physical science and scientific thinking. During the 1st and 2nd semesters, the student takes compulsory and elective courses on a fundamental concept of physics and its application for doing research in 3rd and 4th semesters. In the 3rd semester, students could attend an international forum and publish their articles in proceedings indexed by Scopus. The student can also publish their paper in the national journal with Sinta rank minimal 2. The paper can be produced as a part of their research or work in collaboration with the lecturer. In the 4th semester, the student performs a complete research methodology starting from literature review, proposal, experiment, and writing.
To develop student interests, they can take specialization that can enrich their knowledge and skills in researching a thesis. There are five specializations in the Master Program in Physics as follows:
- Theoretical Nuclear Physics, Particles and Astrophysics
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Instrumentation Physics
- Reservoir Geophysics
- Geothermal Exploration
In the by-research track, the curriculum was designed to accommodate a robust basic competency for performing research in physics. This track facilitates researchers from research institutes to have the ability to create and carry out research in the field of physics and its applications. Starting from the 1st semester, the student begins with the literature review in the early semester period and presents a proposal at the end of the semester. In the 2nd semester, the students present the progress result of their research and publish a paper. In this scientific publication, the student can publish in the international conference indexed by Scopus or minimal of Nation Journal with Sinta Index 2. In the 3rd semester, the student must submit their research result in an international journal indexed by Scopus or World of Science. In the 4th semester (final semester), the student performs thesis writing and presents the final research result in the thesis examination.
