Jakarta, UIN News Online — As UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta opens admissions for the 2026/2027 academic year, the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication Sciences (FDIKOM) reaffirms its position as one of Indonesia's leading institutions for communication, journalism, social development, and Islamic outreach studies. With an interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates professional competencies with Islamic values, the faculty prepares graduates to thrive in an increasingly dynamic media and communication landscape.

FDIKOM offers comprehensive academic pathways ranging from undergraduate to doctoral levels. Undergraduate (Bachelor's) programs include Islamic Communication and Broadcasting, Islamic Guidance and Counseling, Da'wah Management, Islamic Community Development, Social Welfare, and Journalism. At the postgraduate level, the faculty offers Master's programs in Islamic Communication and Broadcasting and Da'wah Management, as well as a Doctoral program in Islamic Communication and Broadcasting, providing students with opportunities to pursue advanced research and academic careers.

One of FDIKOM's greatest strengths lies in its distinguished academic community. The faculty is led by Prof. Dr. Gun Gun Heryanto, M.Si., a prominent scholar in political communication, and is supported by an accomplished team of professors representing diverse fields of expertise, including communication studies, Islamic mysticism (tasawuf), Islamic cultural history, Islamic sociology, and Islamic civilization. Their active engagement in research, public policy, and scholarly publications enriches the academic experience while ensuring that students receive education grounded in both theoretical excellence and real-world relevance.

Beyond classroom learning, students benefit from extensive practical training designed to strengthen professional skills. Journalism students, for example, are encouraged to engage directly with news sources and public figures, allowing them to develop critical thinking, ethical judgment, interviewing techniques, and multimedia storytelling abilities. According to Journalism student Sindy Aulia, one of the most valuable aspects of studying at FDIKOM is learning how to navigate complex interviews and extract meaningful information while upholding journalistic ethics.

Graduates of FDIKOM are well-equipped for careers across a broad spectrum of professional fields, including journalism, public relations, strategic communications, digital media, counseling, social work, community empowerment, philanthropy management, and religious institutions. Many alumni have gone on to become respected professionals in government agencies, national media organizations, academia, and the private sector, reflecting the faculty's strong reputation for producing competent and socially responsible graduates.

For prospective students interested in joining FDIKOM, admission routes vary according to the selected study program. The Journalism and Social Welfare programs are available through Indonesia's national admission pathways (SNBP and SNBT), while Islamic Communication and Broadcasting, Islamic Guidance and Counseling, Da'wah Management, and Islamic Community Development are accessible through SPAN-PTKIN and UM-PTKIN.
