She also stated that thesis are no longer the only option but rather one alternative for students interested in research, while students with practical and innovative strengths can demonstrate their learning achievements through applicable and impactful work, in line with industry needs and developments.
Entering the core session, the AdHoc Team for the Non-Thesis Graduation Scheme, led by Deputy Vice Rector IV, Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, S.Kom., M.T., Ph.D., comprehensively explained the concept, mechanism, and implementation of the scheme.

The activity ended with an interactive discussion and Q&A session. Various questions from the participants showed a high level of interest in the graduation scheme as an alternative for completing studies in the future. Through this socialization activity, UNIKOM hopes that the entire academic community will gain a thorough understanding of the non-thesis graduation scheme so that its implementation can run optimally and be in line with the university’s vision as an innovative, adaptive, and globally competitive higher education institution.
