MASTER OF CHEMISTRY

 

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Master of Chemistry Study Program is an academic-oriented education that was established in 1981. Graduates of the Chemistry Masters program receive the M.Sc. (Master of Science) degree. Academic activities in the Chemistry Masters Study Program, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UGM, are focused on increasing mastery of chemistry, both theoretical and experimental based on 5 study interests. Academically, in 1981-1985 the Study Program managed one study interest, namely the chemical studies interests. With the development of internal capabilities (human resources, facilities and infrastructure) and the increasing number of prospective students interested in attending more specific education and labor market demands, the type of study interest in this study program develops into five study interests, namely: Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Environmental Chemistry. The five study interests give variety and specificity to the Thesis outcomes and the competencies of the Chemistry Masters Program graduates. The goal of learning outcomes in the Chemistry Masters Study Program is to provide opportunities for students to have competence in terms of knowledge, understanding, and skills in the field of chemistry at the Masters level, as well as the quality and other required attributes.

 

EXCELLENCE AND UNIQUENESS

The featured academic programs in Chemistry Masters Program include:

  • Green Chemistry Character-based Curriculum Model

The Chemistry Masters Study Program organizes graduate character traits, having knowledgeability, capability, and academic skills based on Green Chemistry or Chemical Sustainability. The character-forming courses include compulsory subject, namely Sustainability in Chemistry, and elective courses (Environmental Biogeochemistry, Industrial and Environmental Analysis, Environmental Management Systems, Environmental Chemodynamics, Chemical Toxicology and Chemical Aspects in Ecology).

 

Student soft-skills are also enriched through Academic English and Advanced Research Methodology courses that provide academic provision as graduates with excellent communication character in English as well as having in-depth research insights. Pedagogical insights are also provided through the Cognitive Development Psychology course from the Faculty of Psychology UGM.

 

  • Academic Program with International Exposure

Through collaboration with the Hokkaido University, Japan since 2010, the UGM Master of Chemistry Study Program actively provides opportunities for students to conduct research and lectures at Hokkaido University through the PARE (Populations-Activities-Resources-Environments) program in a short-term or long-term visit. (https://pare.oia.hokudai.ac.jp/en/about).

 

Each year, the Master of Chemistry Study Program also hosts the implementation of Learning Satellite with Hokkaido University with a focus on exploration of water environment field studies. The program involves Hokkaido University and UGM students.

 

The UGM Master of Chemistry Study Program is hosting the 2019 PARE Spring School as a consequence of being a part of the PARE consortium. For 2 weeks, UGM Chemistry Masters students and Postgraduate students from Hokkaido University, ITB, IPB, Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University, Mahidol University, and Kasetsart University carry out lectures, field practice, and presentation examinations from a series of activities while being in the field (https://pare.oia.hokudai.ac.jp/en/springschool_2019).

 

The pioneering partnership (2019) with Hiroshima University through the Japan Sakura Program offers a 10-day international exposure (lectures and mini-research) for UGM Master of Chemistry students.

 

  • International-Class Research

The UGM Master of Chemistry Study Program has been equipped with a Research Laboratory located on the 1st Floor of the UGM Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) Magister and Doctorate (S2/S3) Building which is equipped with standard preparation and synthesis tools, ovens, furnaces, shakers, analytical balance, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Research facilities at the Department of Chemistry located in the Laboratory of Interest (Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry) can also be used by all UGM Chemistry Magister students.

 

The Department of Chemistry is also equipped with microscope (TEM) and diffraction (XRD) facilities for the purposes of sophisticated material analysis. Access to sophisticated preparation instruments (electro-spinning and spin-coater machines) and up-to-date characterization instruments (SEM, fluorescence spectroscopy, NMR, TG / DTA, NMR 500 MHz) are also available through UGM integrated laboratory facilities (LPPT, PAU Food and Nutrition, etc.). These facilities enable international class research. The ongoing WCP-A and WCP-B programs, obtained by a number of Lecturer staff, encourage collaboration for international-class research publications in reputable Q1 and Q2 international journals.

 

COMPETENCE

The learning outcomes of the program (PLO) study consist of four objectives, namely (1) Attitudes and Values, (2) Knowledge Mastery, (3) Work Ability, and (4) Managerial Ability.

 

CAREER PROSPECTS

Graduates of the Chemistry Masters Program can work, among others, as:

  1. Lecturers/Educators in the field of Chemistry, at the highest level of Bachelor (S-1) study programs in Higher Education
  2. Researchers in the field of Chemistry in research institutions or Research and Development in Industries
  3. Product designers and consultants in the field of chemistry, specifically in environmental chemistry
  4. Quality Control Managers in the industries
  5. Waste Management Managers in the industries
  6. Environmental Consultants

 

CURRICULUM

In achieving the vision and mission of the Chemistry Study Program at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UGM, academic activities are focused on increasing the mastery of chemistry, both theoretical and experimental. The UGM Chemistry Masters Program, according to 2017 curriculum can be completed in 3 to 4 semesters, assuming, research/final project is carried out in 1 to 2 semesters. The minimum number of credits to be completed is 42 credits, a maximum of 50 credits, with a minimum cumulative achievement index (GPA) of 3.00; including 20 credits of compulsory courses, 8 to 14 credits of suggested elective courses related to study interest skills and completing a minimum of 8 credits and a maximum of 22 credits of elective expertise courses. Elective courses can be taken partly or entirely from elective courses provided in related Study Interests, plus a maximum of 6 credits taken from other Study Interests within the Chemistry Study program.
