The Graduate School of Universitas Padjadjaran officially opened the new academic semester with a Kuliah Perdana (General Lecture) featuring two distinguished speakers: Dr. Diba Grace Auliya, Best Graduate of the Biotechnology Doctoral Program, and Uun Ainurrofiq, MBA, Director of Government Affairs & Strategic Collaborations at Grab. With the themes “Mahasiswa Pascasarjana Masa Kini: Produktif, Progresif, dan Purposeful” and “Connecting Millions of Dreams with Technology”, the session inspired students to embrace innovation, productivity, and purposeful learning in shaping their academic and professional journeys.

In line with its commitment to quality education, every study program at the Graduate School offers tutorials through a hybrid learning approach, combining face-to-face sessions with online platforms. This method ensures flexible, inclusive, and technology-driven education that empowers students to access resources and expertise from anywhere while maintaining interactive academic engagement.

The general lecture and the hybrid tutorial system strongly align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Quality Education (SDG 4), Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9), and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17). By connecting academic excellence with technological innovation and global collaboration, the Graduate School Unpad continues to foster a new generation of scholars and professionals dedicated to sustainable development and impactful contributions to society.
