Zamdial, M.Si., who explained the benefits of implementing the Independent Campus Learning Program (MBKM), especially the implementation of the Thematic KKN in Enggano Island. He emphasized that this activity is a means of enhancing competencies through off-campus learning while continuing the study program’s long-established programs in Kahyapu Village and Kaana Village as the program’s fostered villages. He also reminded the students to make the most of this opportunity, considering that this activity is facilitated through a grant from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristekdikti) through the Higher Education Curriculum and Learning Development Acceleration Assistance Program (AKPT) supporting Independent Campus Learning Program (Kampus Merdeka Mandiri) in 2024.
Dr. Yulian Fauzi, Head of LPMPP UNIB, in his speech, congratulated the Marine Science Study Program for successfully securing the AKPT program grant. He explained that this program has been launched since 2020 and has provided significant benefits for various study programs at Bengkulu University. Dr. Yulian also emphasized the importance of designing credit recognition for independent MBKM activities with a minimum equivalence of 10 to 20 credits and clearly measuring the hours of activities to be achieved in each independent MBKM activity. The AKPT program is expected to contribute to achieving key performance indicators (IKU) for the institution, faculty, and especially the Marine Science study program.
The Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, Dr. Indra Cahyadinata, in his speech, gave high appreciation for the achievements of the Marine Science Study Program in securing the AKPT program grant. He hoped that this program could be implemented maximally and increase student participation in independently conducted MBKM activities.
