Educational Philosophy
The Department of International Relations aims to create global-minded individuals with critical thinking and diplomatic skills as well as the ability to conduct maritime diplomacy. This profile can be reflected through the ability to demonstrate in-depth knowledge and skills in international relations as well as a commitment to implementing the values of Pancasila and maritime culture in personal and social life. To achieve this profile, the study program applies active learning which allows students to be actively involved in the learning process, inside and outside the classroom. This situation places students as learning partners who are able to obtain knowledge from various sources. In this way, academic staff act as facilitators who provide assistance to students in the active learning process. This learning process approach is in line with the University’s policy of implementing Student Center Learning in accordance with Chancellor’s Decree No.1870/H04/P/2009 concerning Academic Regulations, Article 27 Paragraph 7 which states that “the implementation of the learning process must refer to the Course Outline which prioritizes active learning for students (Student Centered Learning).” By becoming a center for student learning in the Department of International Relations, teaching and learning methods then increase their capacity to have a global perspective with critical thinking, diplomatic skills, and the ability to conduct maritime diplomacy.
