The basis for designing the curriculum for the doctoral and master’s programs at UNJ Postgraduate Program is the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) Level 8 for the master’s program and Level 9 for the doctoral program, as stated in the Academic Guidebook for UNJ Postgraduate Program. The curriculum in each study program comprises 1) general courses, 2) expertise courses, 3) elective courses, 4) matriculation courses, and 5) thesis for master’s degree program or dissertation for doctoral degree program. General courses focus on general knowledge that underlies the formation of knowledge development skills so that students are skilled in working under the necessary knowledge mastered. General courses are directed at building students’ ability to carry out, organize, and manage research programs as described in the study program’s educational objectives. Expertise courses are a group of courses aimed to produce experts in the field based on the knowledge and skills. Elective courses are part of the study program courses and basic education course group. Students choose these courses depending on the topic of their thesis. Matriculation courses are a group of courses that must be taken by students with educational backgrounds that are not on the same level as programs at UNJ Postgraduate Program. Thesis and dissertation are scientific work obtained from research to solve problems and discoveries in their fields.
