UIN Sunan Kalijaga continues to enhance its international reputation by undergoing the Cluster A (Biology and Chemistry) accreditation process on February 26-27, 2025, with ASIIN, a leading accreditation body from Germany specializing in science and technology. Following the previous evaluation of Cluster B (Mathematics and Physics), this comprehensive assessment marks another milestone in the university’s journey toward becoming a world-class institution. In response to this initiative, Prof. Dr. Eva Latipah, Head of the Quality Assurance Institute (LPM) at UIN Sunan Kalijaga, highlighted the strategic significance of this on-site visit in realizing the university’s vision of academic excellence and global recognition. “This process aligns with our 2025 accreditation development plan, which includes four ASIIN visitations, the submission of 13 study programs for ACQUIN accreditation, and various national and international re-accreditations,” she explained. Meanwhile, Rector of UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan, Ph.D., emphasized that this achievement is more than just a formality—it is a transformative step towards establishing world-class academic standards. “UIN Sunan Kalijaga is not only striving for global recognition but also aims to be a key player in the international education ecosystem. The ASIIN accreditation is proof of our commitment to producing graduates who are globally competitive, whether in industry, academia, or international research. We will continue expanding global collaborations and integrating research-based education that aligns with global demands,” he stated. The accreditation process, conducted on February 26–27, 2025, involved an in-depth evaluation of: Curriculum structure and its alignment with global academic standards. Teaching effectiveness and its impact on student learning outcomes. Study program relevance to the needs of the global industry. Conducting laboratory and learning facilities inspection to ensure the university’s readiness to provide a high-quality academic ecosystem. Beyond academic assessment, this accreditation strengthens UIN Sunan Kalijaga’s global networking, expands international academic opportunities for students, and fosters the development of technology-driven, innovation-based education. With ASIIN-accredited study programs, UIN Sunan Kalijaga students will gain broader access to international exchange programs, global scholarships, and career opportunities with multinational companies.
