Master in Biology 2018/2019

Based on the KKNI (Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia) or Indonesian Qualification Framework
Magister qualification (Level 8), objectives of biodiversity course are students:
 Capable to apply science on biodiversity assessment by organizing research to explore important information and
or produce innovative idea
