Bachelor Programme in Food Science and Technology Curriculum
Evaluation of curriculum implementation at Bachelor Programme in Food Science and Technology Study Program (BP FST) UNHAS is carried out every four years to follow the development of science, applicable regulations, or the needs of the industrial world (DUDI) and stakeholders.
Curriculum updating at Bachelor Programme in Food Science and Technology Study Programme (BP FST) UNHAS is carried out every four years, the 2015 BP FST UNHAS Curriculum was then updated to the 2019 Curriculum. The preparation of the 2019 BP FST UNHAS Curriculum is also based on the Hasanuddin University Academic Senate Regulation on the Hasanuddin University Study Programme Curriculum Development Policy (Number: 46929/UN.4/IT.03/2016).
The 2019 Curriculum Workshop at the study programme level was held in May 2019, then finalized at the Faculty of Agriculture level curriculum workshop in August 2021. Like the previous curriculum workshop activities (Curriculum 2015), this workshop also involved various stakeholders from alumni, industry, government, scientific associations (PATPI), UNHAS Quality Assurance and Education Development Institute (LPMPP), and of course also involved lecturers,
students, and education staff to get input in order to update the curriculum.
In 2020, the Ministry of Education and Culture issued the Policy of “Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka” (MBKM), as an elaboration of the Ministry of Education and Culture Number 3 of 2020 article 15 paragraph (2). In this MBKM policy, students are given the right to study for a maximum of three semesters outside the study programme, namely (1) different study programmes in the same university, (2) the same study programme outside the university, (3) different study programmes outside the university, and (4) various forms of activities outside the university in the MBKM learning channel.
To add input and keep up with the development of science and technology, during the preparation of the curriculum, curriculum searches were carried out at the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) and the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) which are international references for the curriculum of study programmes with food technology science.
The 2019 curriculum is also aligned with the Food Technology undergraduate education standards issued by the Indonesian Food Technologists Association (PATPI). In addition to curriculum alignment in accordance with Indonesian National Qualification Frameworks (KKNI) level 6 components, the 2019 BP FST curriculum also adopts the provisions of Outcome Based Education (OBE) based on the Dean’s Task Letter Number: 2993/UN4.16.1/DL.14.06/2018 concerning the improvement of the OBE-based curriculum.
The curriculum of the Food Science and Technology Study Programme was approved by the senate of the Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University Curriculum 2023 UNHAS 15 Food Science and Technology Study Programme in accordance with Decree No. 6972/UN4.10/KR.00.01/2019 on the Ratification of the Faculty of Agriculture Curriculum: 6972/UN4.10/KR.00.01/2019 concerning Ratification of the Faculty of Agriculture Curriculum.
