The Department of Economics has performed for more than 58 years strong commitment and consistency in developing high quality (undergraduate, master and doctoral) education, community services as well as both pure and applied researches related to economics in Indonesia. As one of the oldest economics departments, the Department of Economics has been famous as the best economics department in Indonesia and become an important reference in South East Asia in the higher education Tri Dharma (teaching, research, community service). Being a well-known nationally and internationally is one of the main purposes of ED FEB UGM. This is manifested with achievements in publications and national as well as international accreditation. The International Undergraduate Program (IUP) of the Department of Economics together with other programs at FEB UGM has got an international accreditation by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) on May 12, 2014. Prof. Tri Widodo, M.Ec.Dev., Ph.D Head of Department of Economics Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Gadjah Mada 2 Economics economics.feb.ugm.ac.id Economics economics.feb.ugm.ac.id Why study at Universitas Gadjah Mada? Why study at Universitas Gadjah Mada? What is economics? Economics is a social science that study how people choose to use resources and how the economy works. Economics includes the study of labor, land, and investments, of money, income, and production, and of taxes and government expenditures. Therefore the aim of economics is to gain better understanding about incentives and how it can be used to improve welfare. Economics at Universitas Gadjah Mada The Department of Economics is part of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), along with the Department of Accounting and Department of Management. UGM (http://ugm.ac.id/) is an Indonesian public ivy league research university located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, founded on December 19, 1949. UGM is the oldest and largest institution of higher learning in Indonesia. Located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the 360 acre university comprises of 18 faculties, 68 undergraduate study programs, 23 diploma study programs, 104 master and specialist study program, and 43 doctorate study programs. UGM has approximately 55,000 students, 1,187 foreign students and 2,500 faculty members currently. UGM has been considered to be one of the most prestigious universities in Indonesia. UGM is implementing an “educopolis” area, a step taken by universities in creating conducive environment for the continuity of the learning process. 3 The Faculty of Economics and Business (http://feb.ugm.ac.id/) was founded on September 19, 1955, where it was still part of the Faculty of Law, Economics, Social and Politics. In 1958, the Faculty of Economics moved to the area of Bulaksumur, occupying a part of Gadjah Mada University Administration Center Building. Then in January 1989, it moved to a new building at Humaniora Street, Bulaksumur, and operates there to this today. Seeking to meet its international goals, the Faculty changed its name to the Faculty of Economics and Business in 2007. The Faculty of Economics and Business earns one of the world prestigious accreditation The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) after almost 7 years of institutional development process. The Faculty of Economics and Business becomes the first AACSB earner in Indonesia. The origin of the Department of Economics can be traced since 1952 when it was still a division under the Faculty of Law, Economics, Social and Politics. In 1983 the Department of Economics and Development Studies was established and then changed to the Department of Economics in 2005. The Department of Economics obtained an “A” accreditation from the Board of National Accreditation (BAN-PT). Research collaboration The Department of Economics provides wide opportunity for research collaboration between the lecturer and the students. Third and fourth year undergraduate students may apply to become research assistant at Research and Training in Economics and Business (P2EB), Macroeconomic Dashboard, Center for Economics and Public Policy (PSEKP), or to individual lecturers. Macroeconomic Dashboard produced quarterly report on the Indonesian economy where research assistants, which include undergraduate students, are the backbone of its production. Student organization HIMIESPA (http://himiespa.feb.ugm.ac.id) is the student association for undergraduate students at the Department of Economics. The association held several annual activities such as Economics Discussion and Study Forum (FSDE), CorruptionFree Economy (EBK), and various workshops. Students of the Department of Economics may also join the Students Executive Board (BEM), Students Mountaineering Club, religious organizations, and various other students body. When I first came into the university, I actually had low expectations about my study. However, eventually I found the economics professors here to be the best in the country that I forgot about the faculty's shortcomings. Now I'm itching to get the most out of my study and learn from the best Andreas Rahadyanto (B.Econ. IUP Class 2013) Notable alumni By studying at the undergraduate program in economics, FEB UGM, you will be continuing the footsteps of exceptional people including Prof. Boediono (Minister of Finance in 2001-2005, Governor of Bank Indonesia in 2008, and vice president of Indonesia in 2009-2014), the late Prof. Mubyarto (founding father of Ekonomi Pancasila), Adrianus Mooy (Governor of Bank Indonesia 1988-1993, Dean of UPH Business School in 2010), and Prof. Sri Adiningsih (member of President Joko Widodo’s Advisory Board).

Student Exchange and Double Degree Program “The curriculum here is designed to give both inclusive and understanding of theoretical economics and applicable approach to real economic phenomenon to students.” Arya Swarnata (B.Econ. Class 2012) “Career prospect is very broad. Thanks to the Lord I am accepted in a field that corresponds to my education.” Fandi Gunawan (B.Econ. Alumni 2013), analyst at the center of trade policy harmonization of the Ministry of Trade “Studying economics here makes me confident about my future since it is the best in the country. The lecturers learning environment is very supportive and the curriculum is excellent. Economics department has delivered the best economists in the country, as well.” Talitha Rahma (B.Econ. IUP Class 2013) “In addition to being research assistant, my analytical skills were developed by doing challenging class assignments. This helps me in preparing for my professional career.” Azka Khairina (B.Econ. Alumni 2013), analyst at the statistics department of Bank Indonesia “My research skill is upgraded and I contributed to the development of GAMA LEI, a business cycle projection model developed by FEB UGM.” 9 Galih Adhidharma (B.Econ. Alumni 2013), researcher at Macroeconomic Dashboard Student exchange program Double degree program The purpose of the program is to give students opportunity to experience another educational, business and cultural environment. Students will be treated as regular students with the same freedom and restrictions in choosing courses. Students participating double degree program will receive S.E. (Sarjana Ekonomi) degree from Universitas Gadjah Mada and B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science) from partner universities. Double degree students in FEB UGM are required to join Community Service as part of the requirement to obtain bachelor degree from UGM. At the completion of their studies, the institutions will provide each other with transcripts or report on each student’s progress. Students shall pay tuition fee at their home university and shall be exempted from paying tuition fee at the host institution. The program usually will endure for one semester at a partner university. Partner university: ? Bremen University of Applied Sciences ? Pforzheim University, Germany ? University of Groningen, Netherlands ? ESCEM France. ? ISCTE Lisboa, Portugal. ? Hirosima University of Economics, Japan ? University of Southern Denmark, Denmark ? Nagoya University, Japan ?

They will spend 2 to 4 semesters in partner universities (depend on host university's regulations). FEB students taking double degree program are required to write bachelor thesis and comprehensive exam for their bachelor degree of Sarjana Ekonomi from UGM. Also, partner university requires FEB students to take internship. The period ranges from 100 working days up to six months, and can be done either at host or home university. The program usually will endure for two or more semesters at a partner university. Partner university. ? The University of Melbourne ? University of Queensland ? France Business School, Poitiers ?

However, most of the lecturers prefer to use English-language textbooks and presentations. Therefore, make sure that you are comfortable in using English in daily life. The undergraduate program in economics take staff quality seriously. There are 46 lecturers in the Department of Economics, where 56% of them hold Ph.D. degree, while many of the master’s degree holders are currently taking Ph.D. study. Most of the lecturers are graduates from respected foreign universities, mostly from the United States and Australia, and only 1 out of 5 (21.74%) graduated from within Indonesia. International undergraduate program in economics, however, uses English in delivering the courses, in discussions with lecturers, and in formal correspondence with faculty staffs. SINTESIS: Efficient online system The Faculty uses an online system called SINTESIS. The system provides comprehensive information for students, lecturers, and administrative staffs of the Faculty. Information about grades, syllabus, student profile, teaching schedules, and other academic information can be accessed via SINTESIS. Students, therefore, are expected to check SINTESIS regularly to avoid missing updates. Credits system The Department of Economics uses credit points system (SKS), where for each SKS students are expected to have 50 minutes of class hours per week. A typical economics subject has 3 SKS, which means that a student will have 2.5 hours of class meeting within a week for 1 subject. For the whole study, an economics student must complete 144 SKS (111 SKS compulsory subjects and 33 electives). The limit for SKS to be taken is based on the GPA achievement. 11 In the last few years, the Department of Economics introduced various “workshop” classes where students are given practical/ applied economics. Therefore, students should be able to gain more than theoretical economics. Throughout the semester, 1 subject is delivered in 14 meetings. The main assessment method is the mid-term and final exam. However, lecturers are encouraged to give assignments and student presentation. Therefore, the final grade is a weighted average of all grade components. Following the reputation of the Department of Economics, lecturers are expecting exceptional performance of the students in the class. Students should realize this expectation when entering the class and study hard. Exit assessment on a departing student is done by writing and defending an undergraduate thesis, and passing a comprehensive exam (Basic Microeconomics, Basic Macroeconomics and Basic Development Economics courses). 3 examiners, comprising 1 supervisor and 2 other lecturers, conduct thesis defense and the comprehensive exam. Students failing the defense/exam may reapply for it again. Those failing more than 3 times will be assigned to a faculty member for counseling. Students who have completed the undergraduate economics program will be awarded citations based on their cumulative GPA and length of study: ? High distinction (cum laude): cumulative GPA ≥ 3.51 and completing their studies in the maximum of 8 semesters ? Very satisfactory (Distinction): 2.76 ≤ cumulative GPA ≤ 3.50 ? Satisfactory: 2.00 ≤ cumulative GPA ≤ 2.75 Library There are two libraries (http://lib.feb.ugm.ac.id) at the Faculty of Economics and Business, in addition to the Department’s own library and university’s libraries. Faculty libraries are managed by 10 professional staffs and has links to journal databases such as EBSCO, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, IEEE Computer Society, OPAC FEB Library, SpringerLink, ACS Publications, and an online catalog (EBDL – Economics and Business Digital Library). In total there are 11739 collections of textbooks and more than 7000 theses (undergraduate and graduate). Other facilities The Faculty provides language laboratory, computer laboratory, student rooms, and every classroom are equipped with LCD projector.

The learning process has open doors to study, live, and work abroad. The program gave me chance to be an exchange student at Fukuoka Women’s University and at Science Po University in Paris. I also join the international internship at Siam Cement Group in Bangkok, Thailand. Personally, studying here is a life changing experience that inspire me to see the boundless world. Caroline H. Manik (B.Econ. Class 2010) Being a student at the Department of Economics means being a part of the foremost in Indonesia. Here, whatever your background is, you will be upgraded both in academic and non-academic way. During your spell, not only your analytical skills, but also your social skills will be multiplied exponentially. The question is not whether you will be accepted to be a part of us or not. The real question is: are you ready to be upgraded? Timotius H. Partohap (B.Econ. Alumni 2013), M.Sc. in Economics candidate at University of St. Andrews A year studying abroad was a marvelous experience for me, and definitely one of the stories I would tell my children when I am old. The diverse culture, and of course people I met overseas were mind-boggling, even when you came from the already culture-rich nation like Indonesia. There, you will also feel the difference between developing and developed countries, especially in a country like Netherlands, and the most modern city in Europe at Rotterdam. That feeling will either fuel you to want stay there, or to go back helping your country to grow. I chose the later. Yet, certainly I would want another year of studying abroad during Master or PhD Program, and thanks to this experience, I can be more prepared hopefully. Cheers! UGM’s Department of Economics is a manifestation of academic institution for the betterment of Indonesia. The lecturers are internationally qualified and the facilities are more than adequate. The combination of all above aspects, in addition to the open communication between lecturers and students, has enable me to taste experience working at the Financial Service Authority, Bank Indonesia Supervisory Board, and at the State Palace (Presidential Office).

Currently, the Department of Economics has three graduate programs: ? ? ? Results from alumni tracer study show that most of the respondent (30%) needs 1-3 months to obtain the first job and only 10% who needs to wait for more than a year to get his/her first job. The tracer study also managed to obtain information on the type of the workplace. It was found that the majority of the alumni from the Department of Economics worked for the government (49%) followed by domestic private sector (26%). Some employers such as Bank Indonesia even have talent scouting program aiming top graduates of the undergraduate program. Graduates of the program opt for a wide variety of careers, including private banking, the government, Bank Indonesia, Financial Service Authority, private companies, international NGO (ADB, World Bank, SMERU), and many more. The Faculty and the Department of Economics cooperates with companies to provide internships and work experience. Since 2008, career counseling is also offered through SSC (Student Service Corner). Personal development service and academic counseling service comprises of workshops on academic writing skills, presentation skills, exam preparation, and thesis defense. Alumni from FEB are automatically joins in KAFEGAMA (which is part of the greater UGM alumni organization, KAGAMA) where the organization held events such as alumni lecture series, internship opportunities, scholarships, and research funding. Non-academic activities by KAFEGAMA includes provision of endowment fund, construction of new building, support for research facilities, and expansion in the industrial network through the Faculty Advisory Board. It has been an amazing opportunity to study economics at UGM. The lecturers, facilities, and student activities are all supportive to my development. I have received several awards such as 1st prize on Financial Inclusion Paper Competition and 3rd prize on UNESCO’s Worldwide Essay Contest. All thanks to my economics education! Master of Science in Economics Master of Development Economics Doctorate in Economics In addition to the regular program, the study program also has a linkage with foreign university in the form of double degree program. In the first year of study, master’s students attend courses in UGM, while in the second year the students attend courses in partner university. Titles from foreign university: Master of Science in Economics ?

Named as one of the most livable cities in Indonesia in 2014, Yogyakarta continued to mesmerize domestic and foreign visitors. The city is known as the City of Culture due to the preserved cultural heritage embodied not only in various historical buildings, but also in the people. No wonder that Yogyakarta is one of the favorite tourist destination after Bali. You will also need some money to follow interests beyond your academic studies. If you have no plans to go out for cinema or cultural event performances, Jogja itself has many “hidden” interesting cultures and social aspects to be observed Find more about Yogyakarta here: ? http://visitingjogja.com/ ? http://oia.ugm.ac.id/v3.0/single/en/39/ Numerous education institutions in the city also makes the city as the icon of education in Indonesia with Universitas Gadjah Mada lies at the center of it. As in many cities where education is at its heart, learning atmosphere is optimal for study. Living Cost A single student living in Jogja would need approximately USD172/month to meet basic living expenses such as boarding; (USD27, single room), food (USD95), daily fares, transportation (USD50), medical cover, and other necessities. It should be stressed, however, that these figures are all approximate and how much you actually spend will depend a lot on your personal lifestyle. Some people may be able to live moderately; others might find it hard to maintain their usual standard of living. 17 Sunset at Queen Boko Temple, located at the eastern part of Yogyakarta Jogjakarta Yogyakarta Jogja Djokdja Yogja 18 Economics economics.feb.ugm.ac.id Economics economics.feb.ugm.ac.id Admission Process Frequently Asked Questions Joint admission test ?

Serious study of any science, including economics, is hard. What makes economics looks slightly harder than other social sciences is because of the higher degree of mathematics involved. I’m majoring in Science (IPA) in my highschool. Why should I enrol in economics? Economics required a relatively higher degree of mathematics compared to other social sciences. Your mathematical skills obtained in highschool will be useful when studying economics. It is also more interesting than pure science because economics involves humans! I’m majoring in Social Science (IPS) in my highschool. Why should I enrol in economics? Despite heavy in mathematics, economics is still a branch in social science because it involves human, society, and organization (such as the government) in its analysis. Your social science skills that you get in highschool will be elaborated more in university-level economics! How about academic performance? In 2013 80.50% of our graduating students obtained GPA > 3.00 (above B). What makes economics different with accounting or management? Economics studied about the economy as a whole, such as the economy of Indonesia, rather than a specific business matter as in accounting or management. In economics we learn and try to find ways to eradicate poverty and inequality, something that almost never existed when you studied accounting or management. In economics we also learn quantitative methods that are often used in the context of business and accounting. How competitive is it to enrol the program? It is moderately competitive. In 2013 the percentage of accepted students to the number of applicants is 2.94%. Can I have a topic outside 5 field of specialization for my undergraduate thesis? Of course you can. The 5 field of specialization is just a guide of what you can do for your research. How many students per class? The maximum capacity is 60 students per class, but the average is just around 30 students per class. Is there any health service in UGM? How about Internet access? The Internet is widely available throughout the Faculty and can be accessed via 40 Wi-Fi access points. Yes, we have GMC (Gadjah Mada Medical Center) that provides health and non-health counseling services. 20 Economics economics.feb.ugm.ac.id Economics economics.feb.ugm.ac.id Visit and Contact Us Please visit us!
