In an effort to enhance its international reputation, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia (FMIPA UI) has partnered with Hokkaido University (HU) to offer a double-degree doctoral program between the Materials Science Study Program of the Department of Physics, FMIPA UI, and the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of Hokkaido University.
This collaboration is based on the principle of equality and mutual respect and is based on the principle of diversity which will provide students with cross-cultural experiences and a world-class academic atmosphere.
The signing of this cooperation agreement was carried out by Dr. rer. nat. Abdul Haris, Dean of FMIPA UI, and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hiroshi Amitsuka, Dean of the Graduate School of Science, HU, on November 6, 2018, in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
