The newly appointed departmental and program Chairs were sworn in by Dr. Pekik Nurwantoro, the Dean of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences on January 5, 2016, at 11 am. The day before, the UGM rector Prof. D. Karnawati did the same at the university level. The new functionaries will work hand-in-hand from Jan 2016 through December 2020. This time, there are 15 pairs of new program chairs and four department/secretary pairs. Before, we had only four department/secretary pairs and eight chair/secretary program chairs. It is almost double from the previous. It is expected that in the coming years, more productive work will ensue.
One of the former chairs of the department said that there was no formal education to be a good at administrative work at the faculty level. What we need is to learn and to adapt the new system. As the future of the university will rely on what they do to speed up realizing the academic goal.
On the other hand, one of the newly appointed chairs said that the challenge is for us to improve our performance in the national and international levels.

Being able to study in one of the best universities in the country, such as UGM, of course, is a great feeling for most of the high school graduates. The same was what I have ever dreamed when I was in the last year of my secondary education. And luck was going with me, when I passed the exam through PBUD scheme and being admitted to Gadjah Mada University, Faculty of Mathematics Natural Sciences, Department of Mathematics, with the concentration in Computer Science. I can not describe in writing how enthusiastic, happy, nervous, impatient of it when I immediately entered a new period of my learning journey. Yes, the combination of feelings that can not be described in words.
When lecture starts, as a freshman it seems lots of things I need to learn in addition to the course material. Studying away from my parents, learn to manage money, learn to be responsible for myself, with a selection of adult learning. The bottom line for me, the college is a learning process multi-dimensional life. The first two semesters I spent with friends pursue basic subjects, and at that time, many of my friends complained about the amount of stress that the basic course materials have mathematics. They seem to have a lot of hope for study with advanced nan matter of informatics and computing. For me, I rather chose to study all matter quietly, without asking although it also does not understand very well what is the use of the basic sciences. I could find the answer to that question is when I have started to work. After stepping in the second and third years, it started many courses with a choice of diverse materials.
Campus, library, laboratories and a boarding house are four settings that dominate my life at that time. The results are disappointing. GPA that I got was never less than 3.5. At least, my parents at home can calm smile each time got a copy of the results of study one semester. At least, they can rest easy that their children learn.…
A few days of graduation, I get a letter from PT. Freeport Indonesia that is stating that I passed the management trainee program in company with work sites in Irian Jaya. I was undergoing a new phase of my life, switching from students into workers. In March 1998, I went to Irian along with 34 other management trainee participants from all over Indonesia. There are some fellow alumni of UGM, who became a management trainee as my generation. My first placement was as a management trainee in the environmental department. Rather strange indeed. I was a graduate of Mathematics-Computer Science but was assigned to help the department in charge of the environment. The first six months, my job is to implement a laboratory information system. Working closely with colleagues from the MIS department, I am implementing a new system purchased at the same duty to operate it. Many of the things I learned in the six months, more than just implementation of information systems but also about the project organization, change management and many more. …
At the end of 2000, I began to think of my desire and my priorities again. I want to learn more. God answered my prayer and desire when I got a scholarship to take a master’s program at the University of New South Wales Australia. In less than one and a half years I managed to finish my master’s program in engineering science with honors. In 2002, I returned to Indonesia and tried to pursue a job that is more related to Information Technology. Within two years from 2002 to 2004, I worked in two IT companies: Sigma and Fujitsu as a system analyst and solution architect. Early 2004 I went back to work in the mining world by joining in Newmont Nusa Tenggara, Copper and Gold Mining company operating in West Nusa Tenggara. Approximately six months I worked at Newmont before I moved to the company where I work today: PT Vale Indonesia (or formerly known as PT. Inco), a company mining and processing of nickel that is part of Vale global second largest mining company in this world. Vale, as my personal passion and aspiration paired with the culture and values of the company. Slowly I climbed the career ladder in a company that upholds the value of “the people’s values”. In 2005, one year after I joined the company I get a chance to occupy a position of manager in the IT department.
When I try to recall my journey from the beginning, I started attending college labeled rural campus, when I am confused about what classes should I choose when I had to go to the Papua to start my career, I do not believe that I could to the point where I am now. I believe that God plays a role and work to support me, and I believe that has also been striving for excellence. This achievement is the fruit of hard work and totality. The fruit of patience and commitment. The fruit of a series of decisions that I take. It is a small piece of my story, my learning process that I’ve passed. I still have much to learn. The process was never completed. There are still a lot of hope and desire that I want to achieve personally and professionally…
For friends who are still studying or just graduated, do not feel “mediocre” for being a graduate of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, or feel smaller than the graduates of other universities. Give the best to them (to your employers) and expand horizons with insight the various ways that you can get. I am always proud to introduce myself in both national forum or international that I was a graduate of the Department of Mathematics UGM. It is a part of my identity, which defines who I am today. There is no limit in the career you may want to explore the potential for yourselves and do not put yourself in a box of narrow career. Just because you were graduated from mathematics, chemistry, physics then you are reluctant to learn other subjects. Do not think that your job opportunities are limited. What you learn in the university, all the basic logic is placed, it is a very valuable capital to be whatever you want. I have already undergone the process, and there are still many things I want to do, there is still a long journey, and I’m sure that I can achieve it. I am still so excited, nervous and willing to learn, like when I first set foot on the UGM campus.

Organizational structure
The faculty is implementing the element most basic tasks and is led by the Dean, who is responsible directly to the Rector. Faculty in charge of implementing Tridharma: education and teaching, research and community service, also, must also carry out development activities of the academic community and administrative services. In carrying out everyday tasks, Dean assisted by 4 Deputy Dean. Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs (WDAK), Vice Dean for Research, Community Service and Cooperation (WDPPMK), Vice Dean for Finance, Assets and Human Resources (WDKASDM), Vice Dean for Information Systems and Planning (WDSIP)
Implementing the elements of Tridharma under faculty conducted by the department led by a Head of Department that is responsible directly to the Dean. In carrying out everyday tasks, Chairman of the Department is assisted by a Secretary of the Department. Currently, the Faculty has four departments namely: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Electronics.
Faculty Senate
Faculty Senate is the highest normative body in the Faculty of whose members consist of faculty with Position Professor along with the Dean, Vice Dean, Head of Department, and several professors as representatives from each department. Faculty Senate has the task of formulating basic policies at the level of the faculty, and its function is to provide guidance, regulation, surveillance, development, assessment and consideration to the leadership of the faculty. The Senate is headed by a chairman who in their daily work is assisted by a Secretary chosen among the members of the Senate.
Supporting Units
In addition to the above structure, in the Faculty also formed several support units to strengthen the commitment of service to the academic community, namely:
Information and Network Technology team to ensure the fulfillment of the facilities that support the needs of Information Technology at the Faculty.
In addition to these units, to meet the basic needs of the fulfillment of consumption and information, faculty cafeteria facilities also complements Cluster Science Faculty and Student Internet Center (SIC).
The faculty that educates students in the area of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Gadjah Mada were inaugurated on 19 September 1955 with the Decree of the Ministry of Education and Culture dated 15 September 1955 No 53 759/Kab. In a letter, this decision is still a faculty combined with the so-called Union of the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Natural Sciences. Since September 1, 1956, the faculty of science (abbreviated FIPA) has begun to separate themselves from the Faculty of Engineering. At the time Faculty Association, the new FIPA has one Department who then called the Department of Science. This department has been around since 1950, namely as part of Civil Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering.
At the time of FIPA began to build on its own as a Faculty (as per 1 September 1956), opened a new department that was then called the Department of Natural Sciences, and then on 1, September 1960 add the majors again that is Department of the Chemical Sciences. Starting on December 28, 1982, the name was changed to FIPA (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences), and to this date has three departments, namely the Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry and Department of Mathematics.
At the time of the launch of the Faculty Union (Fakultas Persatuan), the new FIPA has one Department that was then called the Departement of Science. This department has been around since 1950, namely as part of Civil Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering. At the time of FIPA began to start on its own as a Faculty (1 September 1956), opened a new department that was then called the Section of Natural Sciences, and then on 1, September 1960 added the majors again that is a Department of the Chemistry. Starting on December 28, 1982, the name was changed to FIPA Natural Sciences (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences), and date has three courses, namely the Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry and Department of Mathematics.
Since I was a combined faculty to secede from the Faculty of Engineering, Office and lectures are still held at the Faculty of Engineering is on the road a long time Jetisharjo No. 1 Yogyakarta. Basic physics lab activities and workshop were held at the Medical Faculty of the old complex are in Mangkubumen.Mulai November 1960, FIPA occupies a new building Sekip Unit III. Lectures and faculty offices began to be concentrated in this building although most activities are still held in Jetisharjo and complex Mangkubumen. Gradually built additional buildings, both in the north building Sekip Unit III and in the regions Sendowo. In 1967, the Physics Laboratory of Mangkubumen moved to a temporary building on the North Sekip Unit III. In 1970, this laboratory was moved again and together with the Laboratory of Electronics placed in semi-permanent buildings in Sendowo south of the Faculty of Biology. The building of Former Physics Laboratory is used for Analytical Chemistry Laboratory.
Until 1986, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has the physical infrastructure of the building area of 13 925 m2 and a library with some books as much as 10,529 fruit and the number of titles as many as 4,297 pieces. In 1987, through the development project with the help of World Bank Project IX, the library material has been increased to 13 929 books with 5954 pieces of the title. The physical infrastructure of the building is also combined with 1369 m2 of space office faculty and 3764 m2 building chemistry lab so entirely widened 19058 m2.
With the construction of the administrative building of the faculty and a chemical laboratory in North Sekip (Sekip Utara) by the World Bank Project IX, starting in February 1989 Administrative Office of Natural Sciences and Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry has occupied new buildings in the North Sekip. In February 1994, fire accident occurred in the building Sekip Unit III. One-third of the building, which is an area of approximately 1200 m2 severely damaged and unusable. Organic Chemistry entire laboratory space, laboratory space Library Computing and Mathematics Graduate Program and all its contents in the form of laboratory equipment, lab and research materials, books, magazines, journals and others destroyed by fire.
At the beginning of the academic year, 1995/1996 has completed a new building for the Department of Physics, even if only part of the original plan. It has also begun construction of a new building for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Chemistry. In early 1996, most of the new building has been completed, and all the activities of the office and virtually all academic activities were in North Sekip.
At the beginning of 2003, it has completed a three-story building covering an area of 1506.90 m2 so that the total area of 22552 m2 building into the new building for the organization of lectures and Internet services center Student (Student Internet Center).
Since the time of its establishment until 1980, the Faculty has programs of Baccalaureate and Bachelor. Baccalaureate program takes three years, ending with the provision of a baccalaureate and it is terminal. Bachelor education program requires five years and end with the provision of a Bachelor degree. Since the enactment of the stratification of higher education by the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 0124 / U / 1979, the start of the school year 1980/1981, the faculty organizes an undergraduate program of 8 to 9 semesters with a Bachelor’s degree attainment (Strata 1, S1). In Undergraduate Program, the Baccalaureate Program is no longer terminal until late 1986 despite a Baccalaureate still be given to students who have met certain requirements.
Since 1987, it no longer had awarded Bachelor’s degree. Since 1994, the official title for the graduates of the program is a Bachelor of Science (S.Si.), and especially for the Computer Science Program since 2000, It has been using the degree of S. Kom.
Until 1985, the faculty held a phon-three kinds of courses, each of which is an integrated study plan that is expressed in a curriculum program. Study Program of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are each held in the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
In the academic year, 1985/1986 opened a particular program of Mathematics, and Science Education D3 stratified SO aimed at giving authority to teach at the SMTP level and the SMTA, through the establishment of professional competence in the field of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. By the decree of the Director of Academic Support Directorate General of Higher Education No. 695 / D2 / 1991, the start of the school year of 1991/1992, Faculty no longer accepting new students for this particular program. Starting the school year, 1994/1995, it has no longer held a diploma program of Biology and Mathematics Education.
Since the 1987/1988 academic year, the Department of Mathematics opened two new courses namely Studies Program Statistics and Computer Science Program, as well as the Department of Physics, began two new courses namely Geophysical Studies Program and Program Electronics and Instrumentation.
In the year 1998/1999 has been opened D3 program Computer and Information Systems by decision No.: 2305 / DIKTI / KEP / 1998, dated August 19, 1998, with S0 strata. 1999/2000 also opened D3 Electronics and Instrumentation.
Science Master Program (S2) initially only cover subject areas of Physics and Chemistry. But in the start of the school year 1992/1993, combined with the field of study Mathematics accordance with the decree. Higher Education No. 128 / DIKTI / Kep / 1992. Physics Study field includes geophysical patterns of interest. In the field of Mathematics from the date of 11 April 1992 opened the pattern of interest in computer science. And in the academic year of 1999, the Faculty of Science opens a Computer Science Master Program with Higher Education Decree No. 259 / DIKTI / KEP / 1999, dated May 27, 1999.
Several buildings in the Faculty are also feeling the impact of the damage caused by the earthquake that struck the region of Yogyakarta on 27 May 2006. The worst damage occurred in the Physics building Sekip Utara west-wing while the buildings that are experiencing mild to moderate levels of damage. All the damage has been repaired and used again at the beginning of the first semester of academic year 2006/2007
In 2010, a proposal the establishment of the Department of Computer Science and Electronics (JIKE) filed faculty since 2006, was finally approved by UGM. In the organizational structure, JIKE sponsors two courses namely the Electronics and Instrumentation Program, which moved from the Department of Physics, and Computer Science Studies Program, who moved from the Department of Mathematics.
The newly appointed departmental and program Chairs were sworn in by Dr. Pekik Nurwantoro, the Dean of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences on January 5, 2016, at 11 am. The day before, the UGM rector Prof. D. Karnawati did the same at the university level. The new functionaries will work hand-in-hand from Jan 2016 through December 2020. This time, there are 15 pairs of new program chairs and four department/secretary pairs. Before, we had only four department/secretary pairs and eight chair/secretary program chairs. It is almost double from the previous. It is expected that in the coming years, more productive work will ensue.

God answered my prayer and desire when I got a scholarship to take a master’s program at the University of New South Wales Australia. In less than one and a half years I managed to finish my master’s program in engineering science with honors. In 2002, I returned to Indonesia and tried to pursue a job that is more related to Information Technology. Within two years from 2002 to 2004, I worked in two IT companies: Sigma and Fujitsu as a system analyst and solution architect. Early 2004 I went back to work in the mining world by joining in Newmont Nusa Tenggara, Copper and Gold Mining company operating in West Nusa Tenggara. Approximately six months I worked at Newmont before I moved to the enterprise where I work today: PT Vale Indonesia (or formerly known as PT. Inco), a company mining and processing of nickel that is part of Vale global second largest mining company in this world. Vale, as my personal passion and aspiration paired with the culture and values of the company. Slowly I climbed the career ladder in a company that upholds the value of “the people’s values”. In 2005, one year after I joined the company I get a chance to occupy a position of manager in the IT department.
When I try to recall my journey from the beginning, I started attending college labeled rural campus, when I was confused about what classes should I choose when I had to go to the Papua to start my career, I do not believe that I could to the point where I am now. I believe that God plays a role and work to support me, and I believe that has also been striving for excellence. This achievement is the fruit of hard work and totality. The fruit of patience and commitment. The fruit of a series of decisions that I take. It is a small piece of my story, my learning process that I’ve passed. I still have much to learn. The process was never completed. There are still a lot of hope and desire that I want to achieve personally and professionally…
For friends who are still studying or just graduated, do not feel “mediocre” for being a graduate of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, or feel smaller than the graduates of the universities. Give the best to them and expand horizons with insight the various ways that you can get. I am always proud to introduce itself in both national forum or international that I was a graduate of the Department of Mathematics UGM. It is a part of my identity, which defines who I am today. There is no limit in the career you may want to explore the potential for yourselves and do not put yourself in a box of fine job. Just because you graduated from mathematics, chemistry, physics then you are reluctant to learn other subjects. Do not think that your job opportunities are limited. What you study in the university, all the fundamental logic is placed, it is a precious capital to be whatever you want. I have already undergone the process, and there are still many things I want to do, there is still a long journey, and I’m sure that I can achieve it. I am still so excited, nervous and willing to learn, like when I first set foot on UGM campus.

About Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
The faculty that educates students in the area of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Gadjah Mada were inaugurated on 19 September 1955 with the Decree of the Ministry of Education and Culture dated 15 September 1955 No 53 759/Kab. In a letter, this decision is still a faculty combined with the so-called Union of the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Natural Sciences. Since September 1, 1956, the faculty of science (abbreviated FIPA) has begun to separate themselves from the Faculty of Engineering. At the time Faculty Association, the new FIPA has one Department who then called the Department of Science. This department has been around since 1950, namely as part of Civil Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering.
At the time of FIPA began to build on its own as a Faculty (as per 1 September 1956), opened a new department that was then called the Department of Natural Sciences, and then on 1, September 1960 add the majors again that is Department of the Chemical Sciences. Starting on December 28, 1982, the name was changed to FIPA (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences), and to this date has three departments, namely the Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry and Department of Mathematics.
At the time of the launch of the Faculty Union (Fakultas Persatuan), the new FIPA has one Department that was then called the Departement of Science. This department has been around since 1950, namely as part of Civil Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering. At the time of FIPA began to start on its own as a Faculty (1 September 1956), opened a new department that was then called the Section of Natural Sciences, and then on 1, September 1960 added the majors again that is a Department of the Chemistry. Starting on December 28, 1982, the name was changed to FIPA Natural Sciences (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences), and date has three courses, namely the Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry and Department of Mathematics.
Since I was a combined faculty to secede from the Faculty of Engineering, Office and lectures are still held at the Faculty of Engineering is on the road a long time Jetisharjo No. 1 Yogyakarta. Basic physics lab activities and workshop were held at the Medical Faculty of the old complex are in Mangkubumen.Mulai November 1960, FIPA occupies a new building Sekip Unit III. Lectures and faculty offices began to be concentrated in this building although most activities are still held in Jetisharjo and complex Mangkubumen. Gradually built additional buildings, both in the north building Sekip Unit III and in the regions Sendowo. In 1967, the Physics Laboratory of Mangkubumen moved to a temporary building on the North Sekip Unit III. In 1970, this laboratory was moved again and together with the Laboratory of Electronics placed in semi-permanent buildings in Sendowo south of the Faculty of Biology. The building of Former Physics Laboratory is used for Analytical Chemistry Laboratory.
Until 1986, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has the physical infrastructure of the building area of 13 925 m2 and a library with some books as much as 10,529 fruit and the number of titles as many as 4,297 pieces. In 1987, through the development project with the help of World Bank Project IX, the library material has been increased to 13 929 books with 5954 pieces of the title. The physical infrastructure of the building is also combined with 1369 m2 of space office faculty and 3764 m2 building chemistry lab so entirely widened 19058 m2.
With the construction of the administrative building of the faculty and a chemical laboratory in North Sekip (Sekip Utara) by the World Bank Project IX, starting in February 1989 Administrative Office of Natural Sciences and Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry has occupied new buildings in the North Sekip. In February 1994, fire accident occurred in the building Sekip Unit III. One-third of the building, which is an area of approximately 1200 m2 severely damaged and unusable. Organic Chemistry entire laboratory space, laboratory space Library Computing and Mathematics Graduate Program and all its contents in the form of laboratory equipment, lab and research materials, books, magazines, journals and others destroyed by fire.
At the beginning of the academic year, 1995/1996 has completed a new building for the Department of Physics, even if only part of the original plan. It has also begun construction of a new building for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Chemistry. In early 1996, most of the new building has been completed, and all the activities of the office and virtually all academic activities were in North Sekip.
At the beginning of 2003, it has completed a three-story building covering an area of 1506.90 m2 so that the total area of 22552 m2 building into the new building for the organization of lectures and Internet services center Student (Student Internet Center).
Since the time of its establishment until 1980, the Faculty has programs of Baccalaureate and Bachelor. Baccalaureate program takes three years, ending with the provision of a baccalaureate and it is terminal. Bachelor education program requires five years and end with the provision of a Bachelor degree. Since the enactment of the stratification of higher education by the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 0124 / U / 1979, the start of the school year 1980/1981, the faculty organizes an undergraduate program of 8 to 9 semesters with a Bachelor’s degree attainment (Strata 1, S1). In Undergraduate Program, the Baccalaureate Program is no longer terminal until late 1986 despite a Baccalaureate still be given to students who have met certain requirements.
Since 1987, it no longer had awarded Bachelor’s degree. Since 1994, the official title for the graduates of the program is a Bachelor of Science (S.Si.), and especially for the Computer Science Program since 2000, It has been using the degree of S. Kom.
Until 1985, the faculty held a phon-three kinds of courses, each of which is an integrated study plan that is expressed in a curriculum program. Study Program of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are each held in the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
In the academic year, 1985/1986 opened a particular program of Mathematics, and Science Education D3 stratified SO aimed at giving authority to teach at the SMTP level and the SMTA, through the establishment of professional competence in the field of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. By the decree of the Director of Academic Support Directorate General of Higher Education No. 695 / D2 / 1991, the start of the school year of 1991/1992, Faculty no longer accepting new students for this particular program. Starting the school year, 1994/1995, it has no longer held a diploma program of Biology and Mathematics Education.
Since the 1987/1988 academic year, the Department of Mathematics opened two new courses namely Studies Program Statistics and Computer Science Program, as well as the Department of Physics, began two new courses namely Geophysical Studies Program and Program Electronics and Instrumentation.
In the year 1998/1999 has been opened D3 program Computer and Information Systems by decision No.: 2305 / DIKTI / KEP / 1998, dated August 19, 1998, with S0 strata. 1999/2000 also opened D3 Electronics and Instrumentation.
Science Master Program (S2) initially only cover subject areas of Physics and Chemistry. But in the start of the school year 1992/1993, combined with the field of study Mathematics accordance with the decree. Higher Education No. 128 / DIKTI / Kep / 1992. Physics Study field includes geophysical patterns of interest. In the field of Mathematics from the date of 11 April 1992 opened the pattern of interest in computer science. And in the academic year of 1999, the Faculty of Science opens a Computer Science Master Program with Higher Education Decree No. 259 / DIKTI / KEP / 1999, dated May 27, 1999.
Several buildings in the Faculty are also feeling the impact of the damage caused by the earthquake that struck the region of Yogyakarta on 27 May 2006. The worst damage occurred in the Physics building Sekip Utara west-wing while the buildings that are experiencing mild to moderate levels of damage. All the damage has been repaired and used again at the beginning of the first semester of academic year 2006/2007
In 2010, a proposal the establishment of the Department of Computer Science and Electronics (JIKE) filed faculty since 2006, was finally approved by UGM. In the organizational structure, JIKE sponsors two courses namely the Electronics and Instrumentation Program, which moved from the Department of Physics, and Computer Science Studies Program, who moved from the Department of Mathematics.
