Student assessment

Assessment of MPBS students is regularly conducted starting from admission (entry exam), during courses/learning activities, and finally during thesis defence (exit/graduation exam) in order to continuously monitor the learning progress and evaluate the achievement of ELOs. Students accepted on to the MPBS FMUI have passed the entry exam, which selects potential candidates who could achieve the MPBS ELOs based on their academic potential and English proficiency conducted by SIMAK UI, as well as their motivation and performance by interview selection. Student assessments during their study on the MPBS are constructed in accordance to the teaching and learning activities pertaining to the achievement of ELOs.

The assessment is carried out through written essays and practical examinations, reports/papers evaluation, presentation and discussion evaluation, proposal examination, and graduation examination (thesis defence). In addition, student performance such as attendance, time management, and other non-curricular activities is taken into account as a requirement for examination. The regulations pertaining to student assessment is defined in the Academic Guideline Book.
