INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, with a geographical position between two continents, two oceans, and the transition of the Wallacea Line in the tropics. Indonesia has a strategic geopolitical position with large and diverse biological and non-living resource potential. Therefore, the utilization of the marine sector needs to be optimized to uphold national sovereignty, among others, through the development of education in various fields and levels, one of which is fisheries education.
Economic development and globalization, population growth, and awareness of the importance of fisheries resources to fulfill food and nutrition, maintain health, and as a source of industrial raw materials will cause pressure and utilization of fisheries resources to be greater and more intensive in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate and manage these resources so that they remain sustainable and can be utilized sustainably. This requires the availability of technology, innovation, and the availability of professional fisheries and marine experts. Thus, higher education at the master’s level or above is needed to create these personnel and experts.
Master of Fisheries Science Study Program (Magister Ilmu Perikanan/MIP) Universitas Gadjah Mada is committed to developing science and striving to encourage the progress of the nation as an archipelagic state through the educational process. Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada has a long experience—more than half a century—in organizing and managing fisheries higher education supported by very adequate facilities (laboratories, lecture rooms, seminar rooms, internet connections, online journals, etc.).
The curriculum of MIP is prepared with an epistemological, ontological, and axiological approach based on the needs of scientific development with various competency standards that have been required, such as the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia/KKNI) and various regulations and policies at the university, national, and international levels.
The compiled curriculum aims to create graduates of MIP as engineers and managers (managers) in an integrated manner who have a forward vision for fisheries development, a scientific mindset, and act to develop technology. Meanwhile, the competence of graduates of this study program is to be able to make fisheries business planning and its application, implement plans into real action, develop and innovate technology in the field of fisheries, and conduct evaluations.
