Master of Computer Science

Master of Science study program Computers (MIK) opened in 1988 was designed to produce graduates with research insights in computer science as a continuation of the Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. Lectures for the MIK study program are held in the morning and afternoon at the Fasilkom UI Depok campus. The MIK study program emphasizes the integration between postgraduate education and research activities. Students are expected to be actively involved in research at the UI Faculty of Computer Science. The MIK study program curriculum is structured in such a way that students get the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge and research experience in the field of Computer Science. Choices of courses are provided so that students can arrange their educational programs according to their research interests.

The accreditation status of the MIK Fasilkom UI study program according to the Informatics and Computer Independent Accreditation Institute (LAM INFOKOM) through Decree (SK) 132/SK/LAM-INFOKOM/Ak/M/XII/2022 is SUPERIOR. This accreditation status is valid until 18 December 2027.

1. Producing and retaining master graduates in computer science who have a strong scientific foundation.
2. Develop knowledge in computer science and information technology relevant to national and global needs through research and education in academic activities.
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 MIK UI study program is designed to be completed within 3-4 semesters. Lecture activities are held at the Fasilkom UI campus, Depok. Classes are held in the morning/afternoon Monday-Friday.

Click the following “Student Journey” button to listen to the expected milestones during the study period.

1. Bachelor’s degree (S-1) with scientific background: Computer Science, Informatics, Information Systems, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or other computational sciences.
2. Minimum GPA value of 3 on a scale of 4.
3. Pass the Screening Examination at the university level (SIMAK UI).
4. Candidates include the following documents:       
5. Recommendation letter from the academic advisor/final assignment supervisor in the Bachelor program or Supervisor at the institution where you are currently working (minimum one letter of recommendation);

6. Statement of purpose containing the background of taking the MIK Fasilkom UI program;

After being accepted into the MIK program, each new student must take a Placement Test which evaluates the student’s ability and knowledge in basic materials in the field of Computer Science. Based on the results of this exam, a new student will be placed in one of two areas of interest in the MIK program, namely Computer Science or Information Systems.

The curriculum for the Master of Computer Science Study Program (MIK PS) is designed and structured in such a way that students get the opportunity to gain broad knowledge and experience conducting research in the fields of information and communication technology (ICT) such as computer science, information systems, software engineering. , and others. The following is a recommended study plan for the 2020 curriculum, completed in four semesters.

The preparation (proposal) and writing of the thesis are carried out under the guidance of at least 1 (one) supervisor, and in the end will be tested orally by an examining committee consisting of at least 3 (three) examiners in addition to the thesis supervisor.

Areas of interest in the Master of Computer Science study program include:

The implementation of the MIK 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:

Supervisors in the Computer Science Masters Program must be one of the permanent teaching staff with doctoral education. Prospective supervisors can be seen on the Supervisor List page.

Prospective students register online for SIMAK UI (UI Entrance Selection) and choose the Fasilkom UI Masters program to be pursued (S2-MIK). Complete guidelines regarding registration and admissions schedules for new students are available on the UI admissions website. The selection process consists of: Administrative selection, Academic Potential Test, English Language Test.

After being accepted and passing selection in the Fasilkom UI Masters program, students can submit to the Head of the Study Program for plans for a Masters-Double Degree program to a partner university. Registration for partner universities is carried out online according to the information and guidelines on the partner university’s website with GPA requirements and English in accordance with the standards of each partner.
