The implementation of Undergraduate Program in Computer Science was started in 1987, under the coordination of Mathematics Department of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMNS), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). Starting in 2010, the implementation of the Undergraduate Program in Computer Science is coordinated by the Department of Computer Science and Electronics. Currently the Department of Computer Science and Electronics FMNS UGM organizes educational and teaching study programs in order to prepare 3 (three) levels of computer science expertise, including: (1) Bachelor of Computer Science (with degree S.Kom), (2) Master of Computer Science (with degree M.Cs.), and (3) Doctorate in Computer Science (with degree Dr).

The 2021 Curriculum of Undergraduate Program in Computer Science, FMNS, UGM, is developed based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 20 of 2003 on National Education System, and the Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia No. 3 of 2020 on National Standards of Higher Education.

Course Overview

The IUP Computer Science offers Fundamental Concepts, practical, application of Computer Science courses based on the new 2021 curriculum structure and design. International exposure is not yet introduced at this stage. However, they are welcome to participate in any international exposure activities offered by UGM or other institutions. As part of the course at IUP Computer Science UGM, international academic exposure is given in the third and fourth years through various guest lectures, short courses, exchange programs, and double degree program. At the beginning of second semester or third semester, each studens must take part in one of international explosure.
