The Free Learning-Independent Campus Policy (MBKM) is supported by the diversity of learning forms (Article 14 SN-Dikti) and the existence of facilities for students to study in three (3) semesters outside their study program (Article 18 SN-Dikti). The implementation of the Merdeka Learning-Independence Campus program is intended for Bachelor/Applied Bachelor Programs. The purpose of this MBKM is to fulfill the Graduate Learning Outcomes that have been set by each Study Program but with different forms of learning. The right of students to carry out learning activities outside their study program for 3 semesters, provides an opportunity to gain additional competencies beyond the Learning Outcomes set by the Study Program as provisions for entering the world of work after graduating from undergraduate. Besides that, The experience gained will strengthen graduates’ readiness to adapt to developments in the world of work, life in society and foster lifelong learning habits. (MBKM Guidelines)

The implementation of the MBKM program refers to the MBKM flow which is explained in the following figure (MBKM Guidelines):

Picture of Curriculum Development Flow to Support Implementation

Independent Learning Independent Campus

From the picture above it can be seen that the MBKM Curriculum is applied by study programs in 3 ways:

1. The MBKM learning process is carried out by students in Higher Education (PT) itself which can cross study programs
2. The MBKM learning process is carried out by students outside of Higher Education (PT) which can be fellow study programs or other study programs
3. The MBKM process is carried out by students with the industrial world (Internship), where apprenticeship activities will be recognized/converted into courses in the study program.

Based on the picture above, the study program offers MBKM in accordance with CPL and CPMK and according to the study program’s operational curriculum as follows:

1. Inter-Prodi Lectures within the scope of PT
2. Lectures between study programs and across study programs outside the PT (there has been cooperation)

One-semester Internship Program (20 credits) with an existing Industry Collaboration.
