Indonesian Credit Stystem

Sarjana I

Universities always provide education at the level of Sarjana I (Sarjana Stratum satu, S I), usually referred to only as Sarjana. These programmes have a nominal length of 4 years.

Students are allowed to extend the study duration to a maximum of 14 semesters or 7 years). The S I in Medicine, Pharmacology, Dentistry and Veterinary Science includes an internship.

A credit system was introduced in 1979, in which nominal 4-year S I study programmes require 144-160 credits.

Sarjana II

Education at a level higher than S I was not developed properly until the 1980s, and was initially only offered by state institutions.

The S II (Sarjana Strata/stratum dua) Magister was introduced in 1990, and requires a minimum of 2 years/39-50 credit points following the S I, including research and 8-10 credit points for a final paper.

The programme requires a nominal duration of 2 years (4 semesters). The maximum allowable length for the programme is 5 years (10 semesters).

Admission is granted based on an S I with a final paper in the same or related subject area, demonstrable academic ability (evinced by a GPA of at least 2.50 – 2.75) during the S I programme, entrance examination, and letters of recommendation. Proficiency in English is sometimes also a requirement.

Second cycle higher education diploma
Grants access in Indonesia to PhD programms provided additional entrance requirements, where applicable, have been met
Has a nominal duration of at least 2 years

Sarjana III

S III programmes lead to the title of Doctor (PhD). Admission is based on an S II diploma (Magister or Specialis) with a GPA of at least 3.25, and entrance examination. The programme includes research and a doctoral thesis.

The program requires 40-52 credits with a nominal duration of 2-2½ years (4-5 semesters) for candidates holding a master’s degree. For candidates holding a bachelor’s degree, the required amount of credits is 76-88 with a nominal duration of 4-4½ years (8-9 semesters).

Although the minimal duration is regulated centrally, the actual nominal duration (often 3-4 years following the Sarjana II) is set individually by each higher education institution.
