This visit was part of the accreditation process to assess the quality of higher education and represents UPI’s commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education.
The assessment team consisted of:
- Dr. Dewi Kartika Ardiyani, M.Pd. from Universitas Negeri Malang

The visit began with a formal welcome at the Partere Isola Building, followed by a campus tour using electric vehicles developed by students of the Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education (FPTK) UPI - demonstrating practical support for eco-friendly innovation (SDG 9).
Upon arrival at FPBS, the assessors participated in a declaration signing ceremony in the FPBS Auditorium, followed by a coffee break and a presentation by the Study Program Management Unit (UPPS) in the 1st-floor meeting room.
Throughout the two-day assessment, the assessors held sessions with various stakeholders: lecturers, academic staff, students, alumni, and graduate users. These sessions served as an opportunity for collective reflection to further improve academic quality and curriculum relevance to workforce needs.
On the second day, the assessors conducted on-site evaluations of faculty facilities and observed a microteaching session by a lecturer from the German Language Education Study Program as part of the teaching quality assessment.
This activity not only aimed to meet national accreditation standards but also strengthened inter-institutional partnerships (SDG 17) and promoted sustainable development within higher education institutions.
