Learning Process

The instructional process is conducted through face-to-face sessions, distance learning, and blended learning, in accordance with the Rector’s Decree of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Number 40 of 2024 regarding the Guidelines for the Implementation of Education at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.

Learning Delivery System

The Doctoral programs at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) are conducted through two distinct academic pathways: the Coursework-based track (by Course) and the Research-based track (by Research).

Coursework-based Track (by Course): This pathway is structured around a curriculum where students are required to complete a specific set of taught modules over the first two to three semesters. From the third or fourth semester onwards, students transition into intensive doctoral research under the guidance of a supervisory team.

Research-based Track (by Research): This pathway focuses on independent scholarly inquiry from the beginning. While students must complete a limited number of compulsory core modules during the first semester, they proceed directly to doctoral research and scientific publication starting from the second semester, fully mentored by their supervisors.

Admission Pathways for Doctor’s Programs at UPI

Regular Admission
International Admission
Accelerated Master’s Program / Fast Track
Institutional Partnership / Sponsored Admission

The Regular Admission pathway is conducted through the University Entrance Examination (PMB), which consists of an Academic Potential Test (TPA), an English Proficiency Test, and an Interview Session administered by UPI

International Admission For international students currently residing in Indonesia, the admission process is managed by the Directorate of Education. For international applicants applying from abroad, the process is coordinated through the Directorate of International Affairs (DIA) in collaboration with the Directorate of Education.

The Fast Track program is an accelerated academic pathway designed for Master’s students to simultaneously enroll in Doctoral-level courses. Under this scheme, students are required to pay the tuition fees for only one degree level during the overlapping period.

The Institutional Partnership pathway is a specialized admission route based on formal collaborations between UPI and specific partner organizations. The selection process is governed by a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) and a Rector’s Decree.
