Stakeholder FGD for the Evaluation and Reconstruction of the Master’s Chemistry Curricula at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Tanjungpura

The Master’s (S2) Chemistry Study Programs at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Universitas Tanjungpura, conducted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with stakeholders to evaluate and revise their curricula. The FGD was held on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, in the Senate Meeting Room on the 3rd Floor of the Universitas Tanjungpura Rectorate Building.

The FGD was organized as part of the Master’s Chemistry Study Programs’ commitment to evaluating the existing curricula and gathering input from various stakeholders to inform the development and reconstruction of curricula that are more relevant and adaptive to current needs. The FGD served as a strategic forum for bringing together members of the academic community and stakeholders to discuss various aspects of Chemistry education, particularly the competencies that graduates need to meet developments in science and technology, as well as the evolving demands of the workplace.

Through discussions and the exchange of ideas, stakeholders provided valuable perspectives and recommendations on graduate competencies, the relevance of learning, the needs of graduate users, and developments in Chemistry to be incorporated into curricula. These inputs are expected to strengthen the alignment between higher education and the needs of society, the workplace, and industry.

The FGD also reflects the commitment of the Master’s Chemistry Study Programs to developing curricula that emphasize graduate competency development, academic relevance, and preparedness for future challenges. The outcomes of the discussion will be one of the important considerations in the evaluation and reconstruction of the curricula for the Undergraduate and Master’s Chemistry Study Programs. Through this activity, stronger collaboration between the study programs and stakeholders is expected to be established in developing high-quality Chemistry curricula that are responsive to current developments and capable of supporting graduate profiles aligned with present and future needs.

The Master’s Chemistry Study Programs, FMIPA, Universitas Tanjungpura, extend their appreciation and gratitude to all stakeholders and members of the academic community who participated in and contributed to the FGD. It is hoped that the outcomes of this activity will provide a constructive foundation for developing Chemistry curricula that are increasingly relevant and high-quality.

Chemistry: Improving science for a better future.
