Pancasila University is continuously working to obtain international accreditation and to be able to go global, so that it can meet the demands of graduate achievements, both from the domestic and foreign industrial business world, government agencies and even international institutions. A few days ago, we signed an MOU with Padang State University and the Padang Institute of Technology. Meanwhile for international relations, we also collaborate with Singapore Management University (SMU), Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), Technische Universitat Ilmenau Germany and Ateneo de Manila University School of Law.
Apart from that, the study program accreditation is also moving forward to become EXCELLENT starting with the Law Masters and Pharmacy Masters Study Programs. Next will follow the Master of Mechanical Engineering. This morning we have just opened the 2002 UNIID V Symposium: "Scientific and Expertise Collaboration in Supporting Indonesian Infrastructure" which is being held in a hybrid manner today and tomorrow at the Faculty of Engineering, a collaboration between Pancasila University, Padjadjaran University, PT Penjaminan Infrastruktur Indonesia.
This year UP is still entrusted with obtaining and managing the Independent Campus Competition Program Grants (PKKM) for 2 Study Programs, namely: Bachelor of Laws and Communication Studies in 2021 and 2022 worth Rp. 2,218,490,000; Independent Campus Competition Program (PKKM) for institutions (Institutional Support System) 2021; and Grants for 2 Kemdikbud Student Entrepreneurial Programs from the Faculty of Economics and Tourism.
Pancasila University is currently constructing a pharmaceutical building as a teaching factory, bioavailability and bioequivalence laboratories, halal lab, cosmetics lab, multimedia classrooms of the Pancasila University Faculty of Pharmacy. As information, the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy who was recently appointed Prof. Dr. apt. Syamsudin, M. Biomed. won the MURI record award for the first Polyherbal research which acts as an adjuvant therapy to increase the effectiveness of standard Covid-19 treatment. Research that is beneficial to society and until now has been widely used by both government and private hospitals in Indonesia
Considering that the pandemic has caused quite a number of students and prospective students to have difficulty meeting tuition fees, Pancasila University is working with banks and other financial institutions to provide alternative payment methods.
Collaboration that has been done. Currently it is with BNI through the Pay for Education Program via BNI Mobile Banking, and apart from that Pancasila University will also work with Dana Cita, a financial institution that has received OJK permission and has collaborated with many tertiary institutions in providing education financing to prospective students. The Cita Fund will help students from both the D3 – Postgraduate levels in making tuition payments where students can pay in installments with a span of time that is adjusted to their abilities.
In the current era, UP is required to be able to transform, otherwise we will be left behind from other universities that have improved themselves and excelled. Collaboration with the media, both print, online and TV media, regionally and nationally, is going very well. Activities at Pancasila University can be disseminated so that the public can follow our developments from time to time. The pandemic has not prevented UP from carrying out various activities that improve the quality of UP. Activities from the independent learning program can also be echoed so that it opens up the insights of both students and prospective students that there are many things that can be obtained from lecture activities. Hopefully this can build the image and interest of students and the public to join Pancasila University. Therefore, innovations as a process of achieving harmony are needed. An increase in performance of more than 100 percent is needed to catch up with our competitors.
In the last few years, we have proven that we do our hard work to catch up with various lags, we do it with consistency and persistence to achieve what we want. Hopefully the appointed officials will be able to maintain harmony between all stakeholders at Pancasila University, be it students, lecturers, and education staff within Pancasila University.
