BACHELOR OF PHYSICS CURRICULUM

A. RATIONALE

Bachelor in Physics Program UNY was established in 1997 based on the Letter of the Directorate General of Higher Education No. 1259/DT/T/97, dated May 29, 1997, regarding the permission to open non-education study programs within the environment of FPMIPA IKIP Yogyakarta. With the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 93 of 1999 dated August 31, 1999, regarding the change of status from IKIP Yogyakarta to Yogyakarta State University (UNY), FPMIPA changed to the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), and the Department of Physics Education officially had a Physics study program.

The curriculum development of Bachelor in Physics is based on several reasons and considerations:

  1. Industry Needs. The industry and job market are becoming increasingly complex and rapidly evolving. The demand for workers with skills, understanding, and deep knowledge of physics is growing. In this regard, the development of the Physics study program curriculum aims to produce graduates with relevant skills and knowledge to meet the needs of the industry.
  2. Advances in Science. Science and technology are continually advancing rapidly. As a Physics Study Program, it is necessary to keep pace with these developments to produce graduates with accurate and in-depth understanding of current physics concepts. The development of the Physics study program curriculum is based on the renewal and development of ongoing physics concepts.
  3. National and International Education Standards. The development of the Physics study program curriculum is also based on national and international education standards. The curriculum must align with national and international education standards to ensure that Physics study program graduates meet requirements and possess the skills and knowledge needed worldwide.
  4. Skills and Competencies of Graduates. Curriculum development in the Physics study program is based on the skills and competencies of graduates. The curriculum must ensure that graduates have strong experimental, analytical, and problem-solving skills and are able to adapt quickly to technological and industrial developments. Curriculum development should provide a strong foundation for students to develop successful careers in physics and related fields.

B. SCIENTIFIC VISION AND OBJECTIVES

1. Scientific Vision

Bachelor in Physics’ scientific vision is to develop applied physics science that supports local potential related to sustainable environments.

2. Objectives

The Objectives of Bachelor in Physics UNY are based on the formulation of the vision and mission held by Bachelor of Physics. The preparation of the Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of the Bachelor Program is based on two related regulations, namely Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers and Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 8/2012 concerning the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI). KKNI is a framework for the qualification hierarchy of Indonesian human resources that juxtaposes, equates, and integrates the education sector with the training and work experience sectors in a scheme of recognizing work capabilities adapted to the structure in various job sectors. KKNI is the embodiment of the quality and national identity of Indonesia related to the national education system, the national work training system, and the national assessment system for equivalence of national learning outcomes, which Indonesia has to produce qualified and productive national human resources. According to KKNI, the bachelor's degree qualification level S1 of the Physics Study Program is included in level 6. Based on the vision and mission of the Physics Study Program, the vision and mission of FMIPA, the vision and mission of Yogyakarta State University, the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI), the National Higher Education Standards (SN Dikti), and several related regulations, the Physics Study Program formulates 4 (four) PEOs, namely
