Relevant subject benchmark statements |
Domestic benchmarks of UPE are - UPE-Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta https://www.feb.ui.ac.id/en/department-of-economics/and - UPE-Universitas Gajah Mada, Yogyakarta http://economics.feb.ugm.ac.id/study-program/undergraduate-program/curriculum.
About eighty percent of UPE curriculum contents is similar to those two UPE due to KKNI and APSEPI (formerly Indonesian Department of Economic Development Consortium). The differences are in local contents and in specific competencies.
Regional and International benchmarks of UPE are - UPE- University of Malaya https://ips.um.edu.my/academics/bachelor/economics-and-administration - UPE- Harvard University https://economics.harvard.edu/undergraduate and - UPE- London School of Economics http://www.lse.ac.uk/Study-at-LSE/Undergraduate/Degree-programmes-2020/BSc-Economics
UPE uses these three UPEs mainly for the material contents of core economic tools and theories. Thus, UPE keeps implementing the current state of teaching materials. |
