On Monday, January 22, 2024, the Faculty of Public Health (FPH) Universitas Indonesia (UI) again received a study visit from high school students with the aim of finding out information about education and entry selection pathways at FPH UI. Received in Hall A of FPH UI, 90 students and 5 teachers from SMA Negeri 2 Kediri enthusiastically carried out a study visit.

FPH UI Academic Manager, Dr. Laila Fitria provides information about the general profile of FPH UI, where currently FPH has 4 undergraduate study programs, all of which have been accredited as superior nationally from the Indonesian Higher Education Health Independent Accreditation Institute (LAM-PTKes) and 2 study programs have been internationally accredited, namely the Bachelor of Health Study Program Society from AHPGS, and the Undergraduate Nutrition Study Program from AUN. “Currently FPH UI has regular and non-regular classes for its undergraduate study programs. “The entry selection route for regular classes is through SNBP, SNBT and SIMAK, while for non-regular classes through SIMAK and PPKB,” added Dr. Laila explained the entry selection route for prospective new students at FPH UI.
“Public health studies preventive things or how to prevent people from getting sick or staying healthy. “Such as creating programs that can be implemented in society or communities to maintain health, this is the difference between FPH and FK which learns how to treat people who are sick,” said Dr. Robiana Modjo explained about the Bachelor of Public Health Study Program.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the Undergraduate Nutrition Study Program, Wahyu Kurnia, S.K.M., M.K.M., explained about the nutrition study program. “Studying nutrition is not only about food, current issues regarding nutrition are also studied. Like the current teenage diet trends, of course not all of them are right and good to follow. “Learning about a healthy diet that is right for the body is important to know to prevent a lack of nutritional intake in the body,” said Wahyu Kurnia.
In the final session, Dr. Ema explained information about the Environmental Health Undergraduate Study Program. “The Environmental Health Undergraduate Study Program is here to answer the challenges of scientific development and the need to overcome various increasingly complex environmental health problems. “Where graduates are expected to have quality analytical skills and abilities to solve environmental health problems, based on knowledge, dedication, ethics and integrity,” said Dr. Emma.
Not only did they get information through the speakers’ presentations, the students of SMA Negeri 2 Kediri also enthusiastically asked questions about graduate employment prospects, the role of FPH students in society, scholarship opportunities, and even questions related to things FPH was doing to prepare its graduates for the era of the industrial revolution. 4.0.
