Profile
Master of Biomedical Engineering
The journey of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) at Airlangga University cannot be separated from the history of the establishment of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) Unair since 1982 (Rector’s Decree Unair no. 6400/PT.03/I/1982). At that time, there were four departments, namely Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Based on the development of science and technology, information technology, and the community’s need for personnel in the fields of information systems and medical instrumentation, as well as experts in environmental management, it was necessary to develop new study programs to support these areas, including Information Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Statistics, and Environmental Engineering. Biomedical Engineering, Statistics, and Environmental Engineering. The establishment of these new programs had a significant impact on the evaluation of the faculty’s name, which needed to be adjusted. Finally, on April 10, 2008, based on Rector’s Decree No. 3294/J03.OT/2008, the name change of FMIPA to the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST). This change has brought significant impacts on the academic development, scientific advancement, and overall image of the faculty. Remarkable progress in the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education is evident in the expansion of study programs at FST up to the year 2020.
The Master’s Program in Biomedical Engineering at the Graduate School of Airlangga University was established in 2012 through Decree No. 8981/H3/KR/2012, initially named Technobiomedical. The program was implemented in 2013 at the Graduate School of Airlangga University, based on Rector’s Decree Rector No. 26/UN3/KR/2013. When it was first established, the learning process in the 2012/2013 academic year until now, the Master of Biomedical Engineering Program has been attended by students from various regions in Indonesia who have different professional backgrounds and different undergraduate educational backgrounds. In 2018, based on Decree No. 898/UN3/2018 concerning the structuring of study program names within Airlangga University, the name of the Technobiomedical study program was changed to Biomedical Engineering.
Since January 18, 2019, through Airlangga University Rector Decree Rector of Airlangga University No. 160/UN3/2019, the management of the Master’s Program in Biomedical Engineering was transferred from the Graduate School to the Faculty of Science and Technology. The handover from the Director of the Graduate School to the Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Airlangga University took place on February 11, 2019.
