Intended Learning Outcome (ILO) – Fapet UB

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME of DOCTORAL PROGRAM ANIMAL SCIENCE

The DPAS is designed to prepare people for research careers, either at a university or in industry, as government experts to take good policies and teach students how to discover new knowledge within their academic discipline. The ILO defines employability, knowledge, skills and attitude. The fulfillment of the competency profile of graduates is formulated in the Intended Learning Outcome (ILOs) program and is available in published forms. They reflect both academic and labor-market requirements and are up-to-date with relation to the relevant field. The design of the program supports the achievement of the ILOs. Table 1. presents the relationship of ILOs with the profile of graduates, which are researchers and policymakers. ILOs are shown in the Academic Handbook and curriculum, to be understood and implemented by the academic community in the learning process. According to that Table 1, these transferable competencies are a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary for personal fulfillment and development, social inclusion, active citizenship, and employment. The development of these competencies, which are a significant factor in innovation, productivity, and competitiveness, also guarantees greater flexibility in the higher and new positions.

The curriculum of the DPAS supports the development of content knowledge, particular science, and research. The courses offered are classified into two groups: Compulsory Courses (18 credits), elective courses (4 credits), and the dissertation (28 credits). Students with non-linear backgrounds have to take two bridging courses (6 credits) detailed course description. Table 3.8. presents how contribution ILOs on the profile building graduate profile, 60% contribution on researcher and 40% for taking policymaker.

The DPAS provides programs to support the carrier orientation or employability, including 3 in 1 program, visiting professors and joining the research. These programs offer several benefits, including increasing student networking, increasing student insight related to their fields of expertise.
