The Business Administration Study Program, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP), Diponegoro University, continues to strengthen its commitment to promoting the internationalization of education by initiating a double degree program collaboration with Business Management at the University of Sheffield, UK. This step is part of a strategic effort to expand global academic opportunities for students while simultaneously strengthening FISIP Undip’s position within the international education network.

To follow up on this collaborative initiative, representatives from the University of Sheffield also conducted a visit to Diponegoro University on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. The visit included a meeting with the Vice Rector IV of Diponegoro University and staff, the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs of FISIP Undip, and the management of the FISIP Undip Business Administration Study Program. This meeting served as an important moment to strengthen institutional communication while discussing opportunities for developing academic collaboration between the two institutions.

The initiation of this double degree program opens opportunities for developing collaborative education schemes that allow students to gain cross-country learning experiences, broaden their international perspectives, and enhance their readiness to face the challenges of the global workforce. This collaboration is also expected to be a significant reinforcement in developing an internationally standard academic atmosphere within FISIP Undip.

The University of Sheffield is recognized as one of the world’s leading universities. Therefore, this exploratory collaboration presents a valuable opportunity for the FISIP Undip Business Administration Study Program to expand its global academic network and offer increasingly high-quality international education options for students.

This development reflects the commitment of FISIP Undip Business Administration to continuously present an adaptive, competitive, and globally oriented educational ecosystem. The future implementation of the double degree program is expected not only to strengthen academic quality but also to enhance graduate competitiveness, expand international networks, and support the realization of FISIP Undip as a world-class faculty and a study destination for global students.
