UNAIR NEWS – Tidak dapat dipungkiri lagi. Kerja sama Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) dengan beberapa universitas dari luar negeri berjalan sangat baik dan memberikan feedback yang luar biasa. Terutama dengan Management and Science University (MSU)Malaysia. Terlebih lagi dengan program World Class University (WCU) UNAIR gencar melakukan exchange dan beberapa program yang lain.
Salah satu program studi yang ikut serta mendukung WCU, yakni S1 Sistem Informasi (SI) UNAIR. Saat ditemui pada (30/7/19) di ruang kepala program studi (kaprodi) S1 SI, Dr. Rimuljo Hendradi S.Si., M.Si. menjelaskan bahwa rencana program double degree dengan Ilmu Komputer MSU direalisasikan pada 2020. Pertemuan tersebut bertepatan dengan diskusi rencana double degree bersama dengan kepala departemen Ilmu Informasi dan Komputasi MSU.
”Rencana double degree sama MSU, sekarang masih menyiapkan data,” ujar Kaprodi S1 SI tersebut.
Sebagai program studi yang mengawali program double degree di Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi (FST) UNAIR itu memilih MSU karena biaya yang dikeluarkan tidak terlalu mahal. ”Karena, biaya ke Malaysia sama seperti ke Jakarta. Jadi, biayanya tidak terlalu mahal. Hanya, tempatnya di luar negeri,” tambahnya.
Pelaksanaan dilakukan pada 2020 dikarenakan banyak dokumen yang masih diurus dan masalah akreditasi. ”Walaupun sebenarnya program ini diminta dekanat direalisasikan tahun ini. Tapi, banyaknya dokumen yang diurus jadi tidak memungkinkan. Diusahakan tahun 2020 dapat direalisasikan,” ujarnya.
Dr. Hendra menambahkan bahwa program double degree tersebut direalisasikan untuk mahasiswa baru tahun 2020. Untuk mahasiswa lanjut hanya bisa melakukan summer school. Selain itu, sebelum adanya rencana program itu S1 SI telah mengirim beberapa mahasiswa untuk kegiatan summer school di beberapa universitas luar negeri.
”Beberapa bulan lalu ada empat mahasiswa yang ikut summer school. Di sana tidak hanya belajar di kelas, tapi juga belajar culture study. Mereka yang ikut pulang ke sini tidak lagi malu berbaur dengan mahasiswa asing,” katanya.
Dengan adanya pengalaman tersebut, Dr. Hendra mengharapkan dapat diterapkan pada program double degree dengan memberikan efek semua warga SI bisa terbuka dengan mahasiswa luar negeri. Selain itu, kedua pihak dapat lebih maju dan juga dapat menambahkan point dalam program WCU bagi kedua pihak.
Sementara itu, Dr. Lilysuriazna Binti Raya selaku Kepala Departemen Ilmu Informasi dan Komputasi MSU menambahkan bahwa memilih menjalin kerja sama dengan UNAIR karena di Indonesia budaya tidak berbeda, terutama untuk makanan halal food. ”Di Indonesia lebih murah, budaya tak beda, terutama halal food. Semoga dapat dijayakan secepatnya,” ujarnya. (*)

{:}{:en}UNAIR NEWS – The cooperation between Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) and several universities from different countries has run well and provided outstanding feedback, especially with Management and Science University (MSU) Malaysia. Moreover, with the World Class University (WCU) program, UNAIR has been intensifying exchangesand several other programs.
One of the programs supporting the WCU program is UNAIR’s Information System (SI) Bachelor’s Program. On July 30th, 2019, the Head of Information System program, Dr. Rimuljo Hendradi S.Si., M.Si. explained that there is a plan for a double degree program with MSU Computer Science in 2020. The meeting coincided with a discussion for the double degree plan together with the head of the MSU Information and Computation department.
“The plan for a double degree with MSU is in data preparation phase,” said the Head of SI Program.
As a study program that started the double degree program at Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) UNAIR chose MSU because the costs are not too expensive. “As the cost to Malaysia is the same as to Jakarta. So, the cost is not too expensive. However, it is located abroad,” he added.
Implementation is carried out in 2020 because many documents are still being managed and there are accreditation issues. “Even though the dean had requested this plan to be realized this year. The large number of documents makes it impossible. It will be realized in 2020, “he said.
Dr. Hendra also said that the double degree program will be realized for new students in 2020. The advanced students only can do summer school. Before the program was planned, SI program had sent several students to summer school activities at several foreign universities.
“A few months ago there were four students who joined the summer school. There did not only learn in class but also study the culture. Those who come back are no longer ashamed to mingle with foreign students, “he said.
With this experience, Dr. Hendra hoped it could be used for the double degree program and affect the academic community to be more open with overseas students. In addition, both parties can develop together for the WCU program.
Meanwhile, Dr. Lilysuriazna Binti Raya as the Head of MSU’s Information and Computing Science Department added that she chose to collaborate with UNAIR because the culture in Indonesia is no different, especially for halal food. “In Indonesia, the culture is no different, especially halal food. Hopefully, it can be realized as soon as possible, ” she said. (*)
