The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) at Universitas Indonesia (UI) welcomed a visit from Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Malang on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. This visit aimed to provide students with insights into higher education opportunities, particularly in the field of public health.
Held in the Doctoral Promotion Room, the visit was hosted by FPH UI’s Education Manager, Dr. Laila Fitria, S.K.M., M.K.M., and the Head of the Undergraduate Environmental Health Program, Dr. Ema Hermawati, S.K.M., M.Si. They provided comprehensive information about the undergraduate programs available at FPH UI. The students from MAN 2 Malang also received presentations on the implemented curriculum, available supporting facilities, tuition fees, student activities—including exchange programs—and the various admission pathways to FPH UI.
“All undergraduate programs at FPH UI have received national accreditation with excellent ratings, and two programs have achieved international accreditation, which supports the internationalization of our programs. Every year, FPH UI welcomes inbound students from partner universities abroad to study here. Likewise, FPH UI students reciprocally participate in learning at these partner universities, such as Mahidol University in Thailand and Inje University in Korea,” said Dr. Laila during her presentation.
Additionally, Dr. Ema Hermawati provided further explanations about the Undergraduate Environmental Health Program. “Environmental health is a study program that examines how the environment affects human health. Various influencing factors are studied in environmental health, such as air pollution, chemicals, radiation, noise, occupational risks, and climate change. These aspects are explored to equip graduates with the ability to analyze these issues and assist the government in determining the best policies for environmental health,” explained Dr. Ema.
During the discussion and Q&A session, various scholarship opportunities available to prospective students were also addressed. The students eagerly asked questions about career prospects for FPH UI graduates and their roles in the public health sector.
This event is part of FPH UI’s efforts to raise awareness and interest among younger generations in the field of public health. It is hoped that this visit will inspire MAN 2 Malang students in determining their path toward higher education that aligns with their interests and talents.
Through visits like this, FPH UI continues to demonstrate its commitment to sharing information and opening opportunities for prospective students to gain a deeper understanding of the academic world at FPH UI. (wrk)
