The IPC Dream: Creative and Adaptive Youth

Being a new student means entering a new world. An interesting world that triggers adrenaline for students. Students often enter college without knowing what to do in the future.

At the beginning of the new academic year, new students from the International Program of Communication (IPC) at the Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) took part in the Welcoming Day Seminar entitled Academic and Skill Study. The theme raised is Creative and Adaptive Youth. The event, held on 10 November 2022, presented Ida Nuraini Dewi Kodrat Ningsih, Masduki, and Herman Felani. All three are UII Communication Lecturers in the International Program.

What are IPC’s goals for its students?

Ida Nuraini Dewi Kodrat Ningsih, secretary of the International Program of Communication (IPC), introduced IPC’s profile briefly. He also showed several exciting activities of great interest to previous class students. In carrying out the program, IPC has several ideals, which are then reflected in the curriculum design and activities.

His goal, for example, is that one day students can become communications graduates with several competencies. For example, such as being a researcher in the field of communication and a developer in the field of media and communication with a high sense of empowerment. Of course, individual Communications graduates have a character based on Islamic values and Indonesian norms, as well as a global outlook. “Hopefully, after graduation, students will be able to win jobs such as lecturers, researchers, R and D staff, PR, corporate communications, journalists, screen script writers, working at PH, becoming media planners, and so on,” explained Ida.

To achieve this goal, the UII Communication Study Program has prepared several facilities that can support the growth and development of the creativity of IPC students. For example, students can explore the skills of producing audiovisual content such as documentaries and fiction in the Audiovisual Laboratory studio. Apart from that, students can also hone their broadcasting skills in the audio studio room. Not only that, with the rise of the digital world, students can also become volunteers and digital TV content creators at Ikonisia TV. Ikonisia TV is the first Digital TV Channel at UII belonging to the Department of Communications of UII.
