A. Curriculum Composition of the Mathematics Study Program

The curriculum of the Mathematics Study Program within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is designed based on national higher education standards, ensuring that students acquire comprehensive competencies covering fundamental knowledge, theoretical understanding, and practical laboratory skills. The curriculum also emphasizes both depth and breadth of competencies aligned with academic and professional needs in the field of mathematics.

The Mathematics Study Program consists of five main categories of courses that structure the curriculum, namely:

  1. University General Compulsory Courses,
  2. Faculty General Courses,
  3. Compulsory Courses,
  4. Elective Courses, and
  5. Practicum Courses.

University General Compulsory Courses (MKWU) are a fundamental component of the curriculum that must be taken by all students of the Mathematics Study Program (S1/Undergraduate), Universitas Syiah Kuala. These courses play an essential role in shaping students’ character, national insight, and basic academic competencies. The MKWU curriculum is designed to instill values of faith, morality, citizenship, humanity, and environmental awareness as an integral foundation for the development of scientific knowledge and personal integrity.

In total, there are Nine (9) general compulsory courses offered in the Mathematics Study Program:

  1. Civic Education (MKWU1002)
  2. Disaster and Environmental Studies (MKWU1005)
  3. Character Development 1 (MKWU1006)
  4. Character Development 2 (MKWU1007)
  5. Pancasila (MKWU1001)
  6. Indonesian Language (MKWU1003)
  7. English Language (MKWU1004)
  8. Religious Education (MKWU2001)
  9. Community Service Program (KKN) (MKWUP001)

The implementation of MKWU aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental values of nationhood, effective academic communication skills in both Indonesian and English, and a strong sense of social responsibility and academic ethics. Through the implementation of these courses, graduates of the Mathematics Study Program are expected to excel not only in scientific knowledge and laboratory skills but also in integrity, social awareness, and responsibility as academically grounded and ethically driven citizens.

B. Total Study Load

At the undergraduate level (Bachelor’s degree/S1), students are required to complete a minimum of 144 credits (SKS) to fulfill graduation requirements. This study load consists of a combination of theory courses, practicum courses, elective courses, and academic activities such as Community Service (KKN) and the final thesis.

At the graduate level (Master’s degree/S2), students are required to complete a minimum of 54 credits (SKS) in accordance with the faculty’s academic regulations.

In accordance with international academic standards, the Mathematics Study Program also applies an equivalent conversion to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The conversion rate used is:

1 SKS = 1.67 ECTS

This equivalence allows students’ academic achievements to be recognized and aligned with global credit systems, especially for purposes of student mobility, international collaboration, and academic exchange programs.

In general:

  • Undergraduate (S1) courses carry 2–3 credits, with several elective courses carrying 1 credit.
  • Master’s (S2) courses carry 2 credits for both compulsory and elective courses.
  • Practicum courses at both academic levels commonly carry 1 credit

C. Course Numbering System

The Mathematics Study Program applies a course numbering system that indicates the category, academic level, and semester of offering. The codes are structured as follows:

Undergraduate Level (S1)

  • MKWU → University General Courses
  • SMPA → Faculty General Courses
  • SMMT10 – SMMT30 → Compulsory Program Courses
  • SMMT60 → Elective Program Courses

Master’s Level (S2)

  • MMPA → Faculty General Courses
  • MMMT10 → Compulsory Program Courses
  • MMMT60 → Elective Program Courses

The semester offering is indicated by the last two digits of the course code:

  • 01, 03, 05, 07, 09, 11, etc. → courses offered in odd semesters
  • 00, 02, 04, 06, 08, 10, 12, etc. → courses offered in even semester

D. Examples of Course Code Interpretation

Undergraduate Level (S1)

  • MKWU1004 – English (University General Course)
  • SMPA1001 – Introduction to Calculus → code ending in 01 indicates an odd-semester course
  • SMMT1006 – Linear Programming → code ending in 06 indicates an even-semester course
  • SMMT3019 – Partial Differential Equations → code ending in 19 indicates an odd-semester course
  • SMMT6041 – Functional Analysis → prefix 6 indicates an elective course

Master’s Level (S2)

  • MMMT1005 – Numerical Analysis → compulsory course, odd semester
  • MMMT1006 – Dynamical Systems → compulsory course, even semester
  • MMMT6010 – Wave Theory → prefix 6 indicates an elective course

E. Special Rules and Exceptions

Several special provisions apply within the Mathematics Study Program, as follows:

  • Community Service (KKN) at the undergraduate level can be taken after students complete a minimum of 100 credits (SKS).
  • Certain courses may be offered in either odd or even semesters, depending on the program’s academic policy.
  • Practicum courses and courses with prerequisite status must be taken to ensure smooth academic progress.

For Bachelor’s Program (S1):

  • SMPAP002 – Undergraduate Final Project Proposal, offered in both odd and even semesters.
  • SMPAPA01 – Final Project, offered in both odd and even semesters

For Master’s Program (S2):

  • MMPAP001 – Thesis Proposal, offered in both odd and even semesters.
  • MMPAPA01 – Thesis, offered in both odd and even semesters.

F. Fields of Interest / Concentrations

To support in-depth academic development according to students’ interests, the Mathematics Study Program provides the following areas of concentration:

Undergraduate Level (S1) – 9 Concentrations

  1. Computational Mathematics
  2. Operations Research
  3. Ethnomathematics
  4. Analysis
  5. Algebra
  6. Optimal Control and Sports Dynamics
  7. Economic and Financial Mathematics
  8. Actuarial Science
  9. Mathematical Modeling

Master’s Level (S2) – 4 Concentrations

  1. Dynamic Mathematical Modeling
  2. Optimal Control
  3. Mathematical Optimization
  4. Mathematics Learning Technology

These concentrations are structured to enable students to pursue academic pathways that align with their research interests or future professional careers.
