Prof. Yos also added that UNDIP’s excellent accreditation (A) was a form of public recognition of UNDIP to produce graduates who were tough, adaptive, and ready to contribute to the country. This accreditation was also a tangible form of achievement and performance of UNDIP as the largest university and the pride of the people of Central Java, and one of the best universities in Indonesia.
