The Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Universitas Mataram has officially launched its new Master’s Program in Biology Education, and is now open for new student admissions for the 2025/2026 academic year. This launch follows the official decree from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia (Decree No. 159/B/O/2025) granting permission to open the Biology Education Master’s Program at Universitas Mataram.
This new program reflects FKIP Universitas Mataram’s strong commitment to advancing higher education in Indonesia, particularly in the field of biology education. It aims to contribute meaningfully to the development of professional educators, researchers in biology and biology education, innovative learning developers, and edu-biopreneurs — professionals in biology-related entrepreneurship — who are adaptive, creative, and globally competitive.
One of the program’s key strengths lies in its distinctive focus on marine-based learning and sustainable ecotourism education. It is open to graduates of undergraduate Biology Education programs and other relevant fields, offering a range of advantages, including:
- Lecturers with doctoral and professorial qualifications in their fields
- Comfortable, modern learning facilities
- Fully equipped biology laboratories that support advanced research
- 24/7 internet access and flexible, digital-based learning systems
- Opportunities for national and international research collaboration
- A competency-based curriculum designed to meet the needs of both education and industry
The Master’s Program in Biology Education is envisioned as a driving force for strengthening human resources in biology education, not only in West Nusa Tenggara but also at the national level.
Admissions for the first cohort are now open.
