He emphasized that this workshop was specifically designed to provide technical, tactical, and administrative guidance to help and motivate students to complete their coursework on time (within four semesters).
The core agenda of this workshop consisted of a comprehensive presentation on the Roadmap for Graduation from the MPS, delivered clearly by the Program Secretary (Sekprodi), Ady Cahyadi. In his presentation, he explained in detail the academic timeline, credit load, and competency achievement targets per semester that every student must meet to ensure a measurable graduation.

The program’s curriculum is systematically organized into the following key stages:
1.    Semester 1 (15 credits): Focuses on strengthening core academic foundations, contemporary Islamic commercial law, Islamic banking management, and quantitative/qualitative research methodologies.
2.    Semester 2 (15 credits): Specialization in competencies through required program courses and elective courses that support career interests and research topic plans.
3.    Semester 3 (16 credits): Entering the core research phase, which includes the Thesis Proposal Seminar Exam (4 credits), Thesis Work in Progress (6 credits), and the requirement to publish a scientific paper (6 credits) in a reputable national or international journal.
4.    Semester 4 (8 credits): The final stage involves completing the full thesis manuscript and conducting the Thesis Defense to earn the Master of Economics (M.E.) degree.

Following the roadmap presentation, the event continued with a highly dynamic interactive discussion and Q&A session. The Class of 2025 students actively sought advice on various technical aspects, ranging from academic bureaucracy and tips for getting published in scientific journals to the process of drafting proposals after completing their theoretical coursework.
The series of events concluded warmly with a group photo session featuring the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, the program management team, and the entire class of 2025, symbolizing the synergy and collective commitment to producing outstanding, competitive, and timely graduates of the Master’s in Islamic Banking program.
