- Mastery of the philosophy, theoretical concepts, and application of knowledge and
engineering in the field of agricultural engineering and biosystems. - Ability to develop concepts of science and engineering, formulate policies in solving
agricultural engineering and biosystems problems, and produce creative, innovative, and
tested works that benefit human welfare. - Ability to deepen or expand knowledge in agricultural engineering and biosystems through
independent research that is original, novel, and cutting-edge, with inter-, multi-, and
transdisciplinary approaches. - Ability to produce and disseminate internationally reputable scientific works while
upholding academic integrity.
3. Types of Programs Offered:
In the new 2021 curriculum, the Doctor’s Program in Agricultural Engineering Science offers two types of learning programs:
- Regular
- By-Research
The Regular Program follows the traditional learning model that has been implemented by the Doctor’s Program in Agricultural Engineering Science. Meanwhile, the By-Research Program is a newly introduced program starting in the 2021/2022 academic year.
These two learning programs differ in terms of theoretical credit requirements, thesis workload, and publication requirements.
4. Curriculum Structures
The following are the curriculum specifications for the Regular Program and By Research Program.
| Program | Total Credits | Lecture Credits | Dissertation | Duration of Study |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Program | 46-50 | 12-16 (5 Mandatory, 7-11 Elective) | 34 Credits | 6-10 semesters |
| By Research Program | 44-46 | 6-8 (5 Compulsory, 1-3 Elective) | 38 Credits | 5-10 semesters |
5. Regular Program Completion Requirements
The Regular Program Completion Requirements:
- Completion of a minimum of 46 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 3.25 within the designated study period.
- No grades of C, D, and/or E.
- Successful completion of the dissertation defense.
- Fulfillment of scholarly publication requirements based on dissertation research, with the following options:
a. One accepted article in an indexed international journal and one accepted article in an accredited national journal; or
b. One accepted article in an indexed international journal and one accepted article in the proceedings of an international scientific conference indexed by Scopus or its equivalent.
Notes:
- Each publication must list the doctoral student as the first author, include all Promotor team members, and designate the UGM Promotor as the corresponding author.
- Journals must be indexed in reputable international databases such as INSPEC, ESCI, EBSCO, Gale, CABI, Clarivate Analytics, DOAJ, or equivalent non-predatory institutions.
- Accredited national journals must be classified under Sinta 1-2.
- Accredited national journals categorized as Sinta 1-2 by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemristekdikti), published in an official UN language, and indexed in DOAJ with a green tick indicator, are recognized as international journals.
- It is recommended to present dissertation research findings at seminars organized by professional associations or other scientific forums.
