The Ambassador of Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary (LBBP) of the Republic of Indonesia for Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, Muhammad Wahid Supriyadi, provided education socialization at UAD. He talked about education in Russia and diplomatic relations between the two countries.

His presence at UAD was a follow-up of UAD's previous visit to Russia to establish cooperation with People Friendship University (RUDN) of Russia. RUDN is one of the 10 best Russian universities located in Moscow.

The event took place on the roof top of UAD campus 4 building, on Friday (29/6/2018) and was attended by UAD higher-ups and officials on the levels of university, faculty, and study program.

The Rector of UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum., in his speech said that UAD was continuing to develop cooperation with universities abroad. With RUDN, UAD signed MoU and MoA on the health sector. In the future, the cooperation would be extended into the fields of education and technology with universities in Russia.

"Currently, Russia is available to cooperate with universities in Indonesia. Moreover, the people are really interested in Islam. UAD gives an opportunity to five students from Russia to study at UAD specializing in Islamic studies," he explained.

On the other hand, Muhammad Wahid, in his presentation conveyed that Russia was currently a country whose Islamic population was growing rapidly. In a country with a population of about 146 million people, a lot of mosques were built.

"Russia wants to build good relations with Indonesia. Now, there are 500 Indonesian students studying in Russia. There are scholarships from the Russian cultural center as well as self-financing education," said Muhammad Wahid, who was born in Kebumen.

It needs to be noted that, each year, the Russian government provides scholarships for 160 Indonesian students. Muhammad Wahid stressed that it is important for Indonesian universities to establish cooperation with universities in Russia, especially in the field of engineering. (ard)

Tiga mahasiswa Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat (FKM) Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) akan menjalani magang selama Agustus 2018 di Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). Mahasiswa dari peminatan keamanan, keselamatan, dan kesehatan kerja (K3) FKM ini merupakan yang pertama magang di luar negeri. Mereka adalah Susan Feriana, Luthfatul Marifah Rahmawati, dan Muhammad Ghazali.

Dari penjelasan Dekan FKM, Lina Handayani, S.K.M., M.Kes., Ph.D. magang merupakan bagian dari kurikulum yang merupakan aplikasi dari pembelajaran teori di kelas.

“Antara teori dan praktik belajar lapangan harus seimbang. Oleh karenanya lokasi dan tempat magang harus benar-benar dipertimbangkan,” paparnya didampingi Oktomi Wijaya, S.K.M., M.Sc. dan Muchamad Rifai, S.K.M., M.Sc. di ruang dekanat FKM, Kamis (28/6/2018).

Di FKM, lokasi magang dibagi dari tingkat lokal, nasional, dan internasional. Selama ini paling banyak ada di tingkat nasional. Dengan magang, mahasiswa akan tahu keadaan riil di masyarakat, karena subjek utama FKM adalah masyarakat.

Di sisi lain, Oktomi yang merupakan pembimbing lapangan menyampaikan, selama di Malaysia mahasiswa akan mendalami mengenai K3.

“Sebulan penuh, tiga mahasiswa tersebut akan belajar di UTeM dan melakukan kunjungan ke berbagai perusahaan di Malaka. Pengalaman ini akan sangat bermanfaat bagi mereka di dunia kerja nantinya.”

Sementara pengelola K3 FKM, Muchamad Rifai, menjelaskan, peminatan K3 ini paling diminati mahasiswa.

“Di dunia lapangan pekerjaan, K3 sangat dibutuhkan, baik di lingkungan pemerintah maupun industri sudah menjadi kebutuhan. Di Indonesia sendiri baru menjadi tren,” tandasnya.

Untuk meningkatkan kualitas magang dan mahasiswanya, FKM UAD terus mengembangkan kurikulum K3. Harapannya, mahasiswa dapat mendongkrak K3 di Indonesia dan mengikuti perkembangan K3 dunia. (ard)
