Programs
FP UNPAD actively support and promotes its students to gain internationally relevance knowledge and skills by establishing International Undergraduate Program (IUP).
Double Degree Programs (DD) allows students to obtain two degrees; one from Universitas Padjadjaran and from the partner university. For the degree completion of DD program, students credits are required to transfer to the partner university,
Hence, students will benefit from learning in an international environment during their academic life. This reciprocal program is available for Unpad students and also available for the students of our partner university who are willing to gain UNPAD degree.
Universitas Padjadjaran has several Double Degree agreements with partner universities worldwide. Upon completion from the program, students will be awarded two degrees; from UNPAD and the other institution they have attended.
To continue study abroad, students should apply to the partner university through OIA. The respective university reserves the right to reject an application if students do not fulfill the entry requirements set by the university as stipulated in the double degree agreement between the faculty and the respective partner university. In the event that a student cannot be admitted to a particular university, the student may choose another university to apply.
The list of universities partner of Double Degree program are:
- Rutgers University
IUP is offered to undergraduate students who are actively studying at FP Unpad and wish to have more international exposure. At the end of study, IUP students are entitled to an IUP Cerificate in addition to the regular undergraduate diploma of FP Unpad. IUP certificate has been recognized by overseas companies. Some of our partner universities overseas also acknowledge this certificate as the assurance of English proficiency to apply for postgraduate education.
To be eligible to obtain the IUP certificate, students are required to have their academic activities in English as the primary language of instruction and meet the international exposure component. Double degree and exchange program are two of many programs that can be pursued to obtain international exposure component.
International Graduate Program (IGP) allows students to study Master and Doctor degrees.
