Students Feedback
Being a student in the Biology Department at FMIPA USK has been a significant achievement for which I am very grateful. Throughout my undergraduate and master's studies, I gained valuable knowledge that has shaped me into a responsible researcher. I built lasting relationships with dedicated professors and thrived in a supportive academic environment. Now, as a doctoral student receiving the DbR Platform for Terrestrial Biodiversity Expedition scholarship organized by BRIN, I recognize this opportunity as a direct result of the Biology Department's influence, especially my advisor, Prof. Syaukani.

Studying in the Department of Biology at FMIPA USK has been a significant achievement in my life, offering numerous academic and non-academic learning opportunities. From the first semester, I learned the fundamentals of biology, including General Biology, Botany, Zoology, Ecology, and Microbiology, with a well-structured course that combines theory and practical lab experience. The department also supports student organizations like HMB, enhancing soft skills through seminars and workshops. Overall, my education has fostered critical thinking and prepared me for research, industry, and education.

I joined the Department of Biology at FMIPA in 2016 and am currently pursuing my Master's degree at the University of Manchester in England. My four years of undergraduate studies at FMIPA taught me valuable lessons beyond just laboratory research skills. I discovered a vast learning environment that included everything from microscopic objects to larger organisms. Additionally, I interned at a prestigious research institution during my thesis, which fueled my interest in medical biology. Overall, my experience has empowered me to dream big and aim higher.
