The UGM Undergraduate Nuclear Engineering Study Program is one of the study programs under the auspices of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics (DTNTF) FT UGM. As the only undergraduate Nuclear Engineering major in Indonesia, this study program has a vision, namely “To become a superior higher education institution in the field of nuclear technology”. In line with this vision, the UGM Undergraduate Nuclear Engineering Study Program is committed to providing quality education, both in terms of basic engineering and nuclear engineering specifically.
In carrying out its function as an educational institution, the UGM Undergraduate Nuclear Engineering Study Program has 2 Expertise Groups (Kelompok Bidang Keahlian or KBK), where the KBK itself is a functional group consisting of a number of academic staff who have certain scientific disciplines and expertise in related scientific areas. The KBKs in the UGM Undergraduate Nuclear Engineering Study Program include the Nuclear Energy KBK and the Nuclear Process KBK.
