Internal Quality Assurance System

Executing quality assurance at the university level (UNNES) is the Quality Assurance Agency (BPM), while at the faculty level is the Quality Assurance Group (GPM). In carrying out its duties, GPM is assisted by the Quality Assurance Team (TPM) at the Department/Study Program level. The Quality Assurance Group Manager is proposed by the Dean and appointed by the Rector, for a term of one year. The organizational structure of the FMIPA Quality Assurance Group is as follows.

SPMI Faculty

FMIPA’s internal quality assurance system (SPMI) is under the coordination of the Quality Assurance Agency (BPM). SPMI is carried out with the aim of ensuring that the academic implementation process in the internal environment runs as it should based on established standards. Apart from the academic field, internal quality assurance is also carried out in non-academic fields (general administration, student affairs, and cooperation).

GPM is tasked with assisting the Dean in implementing quality assurance activities at the faculty level under the coordination of the Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs (WD-1), namely: (i) overseeing the process of establishing and fulfilling quality standards/quality objectives for management units within FMIPA consistently and continuously, ( ii) monitoring all implementation of programs and activities, both academic and non-academic in each unit within FMIPA, (iii) periodically evaluating the implementation of all program implementation activities and activities at FMIPA, (iv) making reports and recommendations periodic corrective actions to the Dean on the results of the monitoring and evaluation carried out, (v) verifying the self-evaluation reports that are made annually by units within FMIPA.

At the department level, the person in charge of TPM is the Head of the Department. GPM members also act as TPM coordinators in the department, and the members are formed according to the needs of the department. TPM’s task is to assist the Head of the Department, namely: (i) monitor the implementation of all academic and non-academic activities within the scope of the department/study program so that they can meet the quality standards and quality objectives that have been set, (ii) conduct an evaluation with the Head of the Department for action earlier corrective action on the implementation of all academic and non-academic activities within the scope of the department/study program, (iii) coordinating the preparation of self-evaluation reports following predetermined standards and indicators.

The implementation of internal quality assurance at FMIPA is supported by quality documents compiled by BPM consisting of 12 (twelve) quality standards, namely: (1) academic field, (2) quality assurance, (3) staffing, (4) infrastructure, ( 5) laboratory, (6) research, (7) community service, (8) student affairs, (9) cooperation, (10) planning, (11) library, and (12) PTIK. The instruments used refer to SM ISO 9001:2015 consisting of: Quality Policy (KM), Quality Manual (MM), Quality Procedures (PM), Work Instructions (IK), and Quality Forms (FM).

In the implementation of the internal quality assurance system, GPM and TPM coordinate to achieve the specified quality objectives or performance contracts. At the end of each year, faculties, departments/study programs fill out SPMI forms, then an Internal Quality Audit (AMI) is carried out by BPM to ascertain whether there is conformity between the realization achieved and the targets set at the beginning of the year. AMI results are used as evaluation material for the implementation of programs and activities that have been determined both at the faculty and study program levels. Internal audit results are followed up for continuous improvement.
