“This accreditation was achieved after going through a rigorous evaluation process by ASIIN, a Germany-based international accreditation agency known in the fields of science, engineering, and mathematics,” he said.

The rigorous evaluation process, he said, includes an assessment of various aspects. “The evaluation process includes an assessment of the curriculum, teaching quality, facilities, as well as the involvement of lecturers and students in academic and research activities,” he added.

UIN Jakarta Rector, Prof. Asep Saepudin Jahar, M.A. Ph.D. highly appreciates this achievement and said that the international accreditation from ASIIN shows that UIN Jakarta has the quality of education that can compete at the international level.
