  • Strengthening Students Competence in the Faculty of Economics and Business through Non-Academic Activities

    Strengthening Students Competence in the Faculty of Economics and Business through Non-Academic Activities

    Bandung, February 1, 2025 – The study programs under the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) – UNIKOM, including Bachelor of Management, Bachelor of Accounting, Vocational Accounting, Vocational Finance and Banking, and Vocational Marketing Management, continue to improve the quality of their students through various strategic programs. One of the initiatives is the implementation of Penerapan Sistem Penilaian Aktivitas Kemahasiswaan (SPAK), the Student Activity Assessment System, which was held on Saturday, February 1, 2025. Through this system, students in each study program are assessed based on both academic achievements and non-academic activities, such as extracurricular and soft skills development relevant to the professional world. 

    This event was attended by students and the Heads of Study Programs within FEB, including Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeni Dwi Santy (Head of Management Study Program), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sridewi Anggadini (Head of Accounting Study Program), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wati Aris Astuti (Head of Vocational Accounting), and Dr. Rizky Zulfikar (Head of Vocational Finance and Banking and Vocational Marketing Management), all of whom fully supported the implementation of the system.

    On this occasion, Dr. Andrias Darmayadi, M.Si., Ph.D., Director of Student Affairs of UNIKOM, stated that SPAK is a strategic approach in measuring student participation in extracurricular activities and developing soft skills, which are important in the professional world.

    “SPAK is here to provide appreciation and encouragement for students to be more active in non-academic activities. This is an important step in developing graduates who are adaptive, innovative, and equipped with the competencies needed in the industry,” said Dr. Andrias Darmayadi.

    Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, the Dean of FEB UNIKOM, supports this commitment to improving student quality. She emphasized that the organizational culture within the faculty is strongly influenced by strategic commitments and leadership.

    During the discussion, it was explained that SPAK is a mandatory assessment standard for students before they can take their final project and thesis. This system consists of three aspects, including (1) Reasoning, which includes academic activities, research, and intellectual development; (2) Skills and Interests, which includes participation in organizations, arts, sports, and competitions; and (3) Religion and Social Community, which aims at fostering social awareness and contribution to religious activities. SPAK classifies student activities into “Mandatory” and “Elective” activities, with the requirement that students must achieve a minimum cumulative score. Activity is reported periodically each semester through the SPAK Information System, which requires students to upload evidence such as certificates of their achievements.

    In this event, students also gained practical insight about how SPAK can help them build a better portfolio to increase their competitiveness in the workplace. 

    By implementing SPAK, FEB UNIKOM hopes that students understand the importance of integrating academic achievement and soft skills development. This implementation represents the commitment of FEB UNIKOM to produce graduates who are not only competent in their study fields but also in professional and social aspects.

  • Prof Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto Targets UNIKOM for World-Class University Ranking

    Prof Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto Targets UNIKOM for World-Class University Ranking

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – In achieving success in the world of higher education today. Universities are required to achieve World Class University status which not only includes high academic quality, but also a commitment to making a positive contribution to the global community through education, research and innovation. WCU is the main destination for students and researchers who want to develop in an environment full of challenges and international opportunities. Like Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), which is currently raising its World Class University (WCU) Ranking.

    With more than 10,000 students, Universitas Ilmu Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) strives to rank high in the world-class university rankings. Currently, UNIKOM is ranked 169th in Southeast Asia, but no lower than 901st in Asia. UNIKOM intends to be below 100% in Southeast Asia this year.

    UNIKOM itself is a university that was established in August 2000 and has grown rapidly to become one of the private universities in Bandung. Now entering its 24th year and will turn 25 on August 8. Until now UNIKOM has seven faculties and 32 study programs. The faculties are: Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Faculty of Economics and Business, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Faculty of Design, Faculty of Humanities, and Postgraduate Faculty.

    UNIKOM Rector Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Eddy Sueryanto Soegoto MT said, to achieve this campus ranking target, cooperation from all stakeholders is needed. For this reason, UNIKOM is currently making efforts to make improvements both internally and externally. “After receiving the superior predicate, Unikom must move forward to the next level by improving internal and external quality. To achieve this, Unikom collaborates a lot with universities in the world. We learn a lot from them,” said Eddy through his interview quoted in the Friday edition of Pikiran Rakyat on January 17, 2025.

    Furthermore, Eddy said that UNIKOM does not only want to produce graduates who are ready to work in the industrial world, but also have the skills to become entrepreneurs. Therefore, since 2007, entrepreneurship courses have been required in all study programs, both Bachelor and Master. “This course must be taken by all students because UNIKOM wants to expand employment opportunities for its graduates, because based on my own experience, UNIKOM was also founded with an entrepreneurial spirit.” said Eddy, who is also the Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Private Universities (Aptisi) West Java.

    In the 2025 academic year, UNIKOM will add three study programs, namely: Doctor of Information Systems, Master of Communication Science, and Bachelor Program (S-1) Television and Film. The quota for new student admissions is currently set at around 3,000 to 5,000 students.

    “UNIKOM opened three new programs because it sees great potential, especially in terms of employment. Especially for the television and film study program, because UNIKOM has a commercial television channel, namely UTV. In addition, UNIKOM also has a radio, namely Hits UNIKOM Radio,” said Eddy.

    Eddy explained, after passing the pandemic period, he again made regulations so that lecturers and students conduct face-to-face lectures to be more effective. In addition, face-to-face lectures are also one way to improve teaching quality. The end result, of course, is an increase in campus quality. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
