Information Systems Study Programme Student Graduation Requirements
The information systems study programme is always committed to ensuring the competence of its graduates. In addition to competencies that are directly related to the field of information systems through competency certification, the information systems study program also seeks to ensure competence in the field of language, especially English. In the curriculum, the study program equips students' skills through general compulsory subjects, namely English. In addition, institutional support is also provided through one of the Technical Service Units that serves both language courses and exams, namely the Undiksha Language TSU.
To ensure English language competence, the information systems study program uses a TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Program) certificate or an EPT (English Proficiency Test) certificate as one of the graduation requirements. Students must collect a TOEFL ITP certificate or an EPT certificate as one of the requirements for registering for the thesis exam. The score set on the certificate is a minimum of 450 for TOEFL ITP or EPT. For TOEFL ITP and EPT, students are advised to take the exam through the Undiksha Language TSU. Undiksha Language TSU is one of the organizers of TOEFL ITP under IIEF (Indonesian International Education Foundation). The information systems study program encourages students to prefer to take the TOEFL ITP considering its legality and wider designation than the EPT. For information, the following is a description of the TOEFL ITP and EPT.
