(Semarang, April 20, 2026) – Diponegoro University (Undip) has a strong commitment to improving the quality of education to become a world-class university (WCU) and towards the world ranking of 500. In line with this, Undip, through LP2MP, encourages study programs to gain recognition not only nationally, but also internationally, through ASIIN international accreditation, as one of the important indicators of the quality of higher education in the era of globalisation. The Aquatic Resources Management (MSP) and Fisheries Product Technology (THP) study programs of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK-Undip) on April 13-17, 2026 conducted a field assessment of ASIIN (Accreditation Agency for Study Programs in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics) international accreditation which was attended by international experts including Prof. Markus Frank, Prof. Mamadou Diakité, Prof. Thore Toews, Prof. Gert Fullner, Dr. Rara Diantari, and student representative Regina Claudia, accompanied by ASIIN Staff, Johann Jakob Winter, M.Sc., emphasized the study program’s deep commitment to expanding recognition at the international level while maintaining the quality of higher education governance.

The accreditation process involves a comprehensive evaluation of the curriculum, governance, faculty quality, learning facilities, and stakeholder engagement, including industry and alumni. In this assessment, assessors conduct interviews with leaders (university, faculty, study programs, management teams), lecturers, students, and industry partners to ensure alignment between documentation and implementation on the ground.
