SEMARANG – The Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Diponegoro (FK Undip) welcomed a visit from SMA Islam PB Soedirman Bekasi on Monday (May 11, 2026) at the FK Undip Tembalang Campus in Semarang. The delegation, consisting of 100 participants, included 94 eleventh-grade science students and six accompanying teachers. They were officially received at the Theatrical Room on the first floor of the Prof. Sapardi Brodjohudojo Building.
The event opened with remarks from Hj. Nina Yusnita Sari, M.Pd., representing the leadership of SMA Islam PB Soedirman Bekasi. She emphasized that the selection of FK Undip as the primary destination was driven by the university’s strong reputation as one of Indonesia’s leading institutions in producing highly qualified healthcare professionals.
“This visit to the Faculty of Medicine at Undip has become an annual program that we consistently maintain. We want our students, who are currently in the eleventh-grade science stream, not only to dream of becoming doctors or nurses, but also to directly witness the discipline and dedication required in this field, ” said Hj.

One of the key points presented during the session was the strength of the curriculum at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Diponegoro, which has implemented an integrated learning system since the early stages of study. Unlike secondary education, university-level learning requires students to connect multiple medical theories simultaneously in handling clinical cases through the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method.
Beyond academics, the Faculty of Medicine at Undip also introduced its highly competitive admission pathways. One notable opportunity for Islamic-based schools such as SMA Islam PB Soedirman Bekasi is the Outstanding Talent Selection Program (Seleksi Bibit Unggul Berprestasi/SBUB). Through this pathway, students who have memorized at least 20 juz of the Qur’an are given special consideration for admission, provided they meet the university’s academic qualifications.
The presentation session also highlighted student welfare and global opportunities. Students received information about international student exchange programs that allow Faculty of Medicine students at Undip to participate in clinical observations and research activities in various countries.
The event concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session. Students showed strong enthusiasm as they asked about effective study techniques and strategies for balancing organizational activities with the demanding schedule of medical school.
Through this educational visit, the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Diponegoro reaffirmed its commitment to opening opportunities for young generations to explore the world of healthcare education. As an institution with a global outlook, FK Undip not only focuses on academic excellence, but also actively guides future healthcare professionals to develop integrity, strong competencies, and international competitiveness in support of improving healthcare quality in Indonesia.
