Doctor of Computer Science

1. To produce experts in the field of Computer Science and Information Technology who have high integrity and are reliable in the development of computer science

2. Generate various innovations to solve problems encountered through research in the field of computer science

3. Participate in increasing the nation’s competitiveness through research and education in the field of computer science while still being based on morals, ethics and character.

The Computer Science Doctoral study program can be completed in a minimum of 6 semesters and a maximum of 10 semesters. Click the following “Student Journey” button to listen to the expected milestones during the study period.

• Obtain the approval of prospective supervisors.
• Pass the University entrance screen written exam which consists of TPA and English.
• Pass the written exam in the field of science and the interview exam at the Faculty level.
• Conformity of proposed research topics with research lab activities at Fasilkom UI.
• Research track record and academic background related to research direction.
• Time and cost commitment to complete DIK studies properly.

Requirements that must be met by prospective students to register for the DIK program:

1. Have a Masters degree (S2) with a background in a field (computer science / informatics, information systems, computer engineering) or related to the proposed research topic, with a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.00 (on a scale of 4.00). For applicants whose educational background (S1 and S2) are not in the same field, they must first take part in the matriculation program for one or two semesters (determined by the prospective student selection team).

2. Prospective students must obtain a written statement of the willingness of prospective supervisors (use the attached template) from a permanent lecturer at Fasilkom UI who has a doctoral degree with the Functional Position of Professor or Head Lector (Promoter) and Lector (Co-Promotor). In order to give this approval, the lecturer concerned may give independent assignments to test the suitability and feasibility of prospective students’ research potential, for example making a summary of a scientific paper, or presenting a particular topic. Prospective students need to contact prospective supervisors well in advance of the registration deadline. A list of lecturers who can guide DIK students can be seen on the Prospective Doctoral Student Advisor page.

Follow the online registration system procedures that apply at UI (https://penerimaan.ui.ac.id) and upload the scanned results of the following documents on the website:

1. Certified master’s and bachelor’s certificates
2. Notarized master’s and bachelor’s academic transcripts

Send additional files that have been submitted during the field exam in softcopy form (via email to sekreakademik@cs.ui.ac.id):

1. Legalized master’s and bachelor’s certificates
2. Legalized master’s and bachelor’s academic transcripts
3. Sheet Research Statement (2-3 pages) containing statements of interest and research motivation.
4. Letters of recommendation from two former supervisors or superiors regarding academic ability.
5. Letter of permission from superiors (if at work).
6. Complete CV showing track record related to research direction (template)
7. A statement of ability to fulfill college financing obligations or a scholarship statement if you get a scholarship from an institution.
8. A letter of willingness for prospective supervisors from one of the lecturers at the Faculty of Computer Science who has a doctorate (template) with detailed provisions as follows. Lecturers with the functional position of Professor or Associate Head as a Promoter candidate; Lecturers with a minimum functional position of Lector as Co-Promoter. Co-promoter is optional.
9. Doctoral research proposal.

Note: Failure to upload one of the documents above causes the candidate to be disqualified in the registration process for the DIK Fasilkom UI study program.

• Participants are asked to reconfirm with the academic secretariat to confirm the date of the interview.
• Participants are asked to prepare a PPT Presentation (brief) which describes the research statement, research interests and motivation of the participants on experience/track record of previous education and research.
• The interview time is approximately (one) hour, the day and date will be adjusted to the time availability of the prospective student selection team.
• Not all prospective students will be invited for an interview. The authority to invite is on the prospective student selection team.

Specialization courses in the Doctoral study program can be selected from the interest field courses offered in the Computer Science Masters (MIK) study program. Students can also conduct in-depth studies on certain topics by taking Independent Study courses. Below are courses of interest in the 2020 MIK curriculum divided into two areas of interest, namely: Computer Science and Information Systems.

The implementation of the DIK study program cannot be separated from the intensive research activities that take place at the UI Faculty of Computer Science. The ongoing research activities are carried out by seven research labs, namely:

The supervisor or promoter in the Computer Science Doctoral Program must be a permanent teaching staff with doctoral education with the functional position of Professor or Associate Professor. The Promoter can also be assisted by one or two Co-Promoters with a minimum functional position of Lector. Prospective supervisors can be seen on the on the Supervisor List page.
