Hasanuddin University Holds Focus Group Discussion on Deciding KNB Awardees

Makassar (ANTARA) - Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at Meeting Room A 7th Floor Rectorate Building by the Directorate of Academic. The FGD was about the decision of Kemitraan Negara Berkembang (KNB) or Partnership of Developing Countries scholarship recipients.

The FGD was led by Prof. drg. Muhammad Ruslin, M.Kes., Ph.D., SpBM(K) (Vice Rector for Academic and Students Affairs) and was joined by fellow Dean and Vice Deans at Hasanuddin University (UNHAS).

In addition, Nurul Ichsani, S.Sos., M.I.Kom (Head of Sub Directorate of Admission) explained that this year UNHAS received around 400 applicants from KNB and half of them proceeded to the interview test.

Regarding the interview test, there were around 200 applicants who passed to study at UNHAS, but unfortunately, the quota for 2024 is only 20 prospective students. The details are 2 people for the doctoral program, 16 people for the master's program and 2 people for the bachelor's program. All Deans and their representatives submitted the recommended names for all degrees. The Directorate of Academic will follow up with recapitulating and wrapping to be sent to Jakarta.
