The Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Tes (SNBT) at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) has officially opened. High school and vocational school graduates from 2025 and 2026 now have the opportunity to pursue higher education at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP).
This year, FISIP offers nine study programs available for SNBT applicants. These include History, History Education, Geography Education, Geography, Pancasila and Civic Education, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology Education, Social Science Education (IPS), and Communication Science.

Dean of FISIP UNNES, Prof. Arif Purnomo, invited prospective students to join and develop their potential in a competitive academic environment. “Please develop your potential by joining FISIP, which is currently ranked 1001 globally in the development of social sciences,” he said on Saturday, March 28, 2026, in Sekaran, Gunungpati, Semarang.
Meanwhile, History lecturer Nia Witasari highlighted the broad career opportunities available to History graduates. “History graduates are flexible and can work in various fields as long as they know how to market their skills. Today, what is needed is not only memorizing history, but also critical thinking, in-depth research, and the ability to present information in engaging ways. History graduates can become content creators, creative researchers, or storytellers,” she explained.
Communication Science lecturer Restu Ayu Mumpuni also encouraged young people to enroll in the Communication Science program. “Communication Science at UNNES is perfect for those who want to explore various fields, from media and public speaking to digital content. It is highly relevant for Gen Z who want to be creative, critical, and ready for the workforce,” she said.
Similarly, Social Science Education lecturer Siti Ekowati Rusdini emphasized that studying at PIPS UNNES goes beyond theory and focuses on mindset development. “Here, it’s not just about studying, but also upgrading your mindset. Students are trained to solve social issues, discuss global and trending topics, and learn through a contextual curriculum,” she noted.
SNBT registration has been open since March 25, 2026, and will run until April 7, 2026. Prospective students can apply online through unnes.ac.id/admission.
