Graduate Profile

As an educational institution, the implementation of the vision and mission is aimed at producing geography graduates who are competitive in the job market. The development of the education curriculum is also more directed at preparing students to be able to face the ever-changing world. Based on this approach, the Geography Study Program at FMIPA UI has the goal that every graduate produced has a profile as a "Bachelor of Science in geography capable of mapping natural resources and human activities based on spatial information technology to support decision making in managing sustainable life professionally according to scientific and environmental ethics"

Competency Achievement

Based on the profile, graduates are expected to have optimal provisions both to enter the workforce and to pursue further education at a higher level. In order to fulfill the profile above, the Undergraduate Geography Program FMIPA UI has formulated the following learning outcomes:

The Realm of Knowledge (knowledge)

K1: Able to optimize the application of the principles of natural sciences, mathematics, and analytical data in geographical studies.
K2: Able to analyze the application of basic geographical principles across various scales and characteristics of the Earth's surface.
K3: Able to assess life resource problems based on geographical work procedures
K4: Able to interpret human-environment interdependence based on spatial perspective
K5: Able to formulate opinions based on geographical facts and theories
K6: Able to develop spatial models/synthesis

Skills Domain (transferable skills)

S1: Able to analyze the application of geographical theories and methods, as well as spatial information technology.
S2: Able to validate geographic data and information
S3: Able to effectively package various geographic information in visual, verbal, and textual forms for relevant stakeholders.

Professional competencies

P1: Able to demonstrate maturity in attitudes of tolerance and adaptation in accordance with scientific, professional and environmental ethics
P2: Able to exhibit confidence and intellectual curiosity in addressing societal needs professionally.
P3: Able to propose critical and creative solutions for applying geographic disciplines to address life resource challenges.

Learning outcomes achieved based on a combination of the three domains above can be applied to several professions/fields of work that are relevant to geographical science with the following formulation:

Scientist/researcher: Able to develop themselves and their knowledge appropriately and professionally through research activities, education, and community involvement in accordance with advances in science and technology in the field of geography.
Spatial information analyst: Able to provide systematic analysis, interpretation and recommendations based on reliable spatial information systems for strategic decision making.
Data Manager: Able to manage effective and harmonious coordination in spatial data management
Spatial planner: Able to synthesize living resource problems at various scales and characteristics of places using approaches
