General Information

The registration schedule for prospective students of the Master Program in Informatics follows the Graduate Program Admission Schedule of ITB for Semester I of the 2025/2026 academic year, which can be accessed at: https://admission.itb.ac.id/info/program-magister/

The Master of Informatics Study Program for registration for the 2025/2026 academic year is only open for odd semester registration and for the opening of the 2026/2027 academic year, registration information can be accessed around February or March 2026.

Specifically for the MBR program of the Master Program in Informatics, the selection of MBR prospective students is conducted based on documents, written examination, and interview, as follows:

1. Selection based on documents:

• – TPA and TOEFL scores must comply with ITB regulations
• Educational background in Science and Engineering (S1 diploma)
• Portfolio listing publications within 5 years, 5 years of research experience, graduation honors (minimum GPA 3.0), experience in research institutions, and curriculum vitae.
• Draft research proposal that has been discussed and approved by prospective supervisors from the Master of Informatics study program.
• Recommended by the prospective supervisor. The prospective supervisor's recommendation contains an assessment based on observations regarding the prospective student's quality (Article 12 paragraph 3 of the Rector's Regulation) and the prospective student's research track record. The supervisor can recommend if the prospective student has published at least an international conference proceedings paper, or at least has research content in the final undergraduate project, or research experience that is considered higher.

2. A written exam specifically assesses basic competency in Informatics. This is the same as the regular pathway. For MBR students, it can be used to confirm their undergraduate degree.
3. Interview  (includes presentation of draft research proposal)

• Interview team (minimum 3 people): head of study program/representative + prospective supervisor + selection team members.
• The interview assesses students' readiness to conduct independent research, and determines students' eligibility to take courses independently, especially for compulsory study program courses.

Prospective students are declared to have passed the MBR selection process if they meet the requirements for passing the regular selection process (TPA, TOEFL, Science and Engineering educational background, written test), have a draft proposal signed by the prospective supervisor, and are recommended by the prospective supervisor. The supervisor's role in the selection process is very important, especially since recommendations can only be given after evaluating the prospective student's potential based on the portfolio and observations during the discussion of the draft research proposal.

Specifically for PISM students who will take part in the MBR program, there are the following requirements:

• At the end of semester 7, there is a recommendation from the undergraduate supervisor.
• Thesis research topic must be a continuation of the undergraduate research topic
• At least one member of the Master's Thesis supervisory team is part of the Bachelor's TA supervisory team.

Topic Coverage in the ITB Master of Informatics S2 Selection Test
List of Supervisors for MBR S2 IF

The Bachelor and Master's Integration Program (PPSM) aims to increase the number of ITB undergraduate students who continue their studies in the Master's Program, with a study period that meets the integration program's target. This is done to achieve one of the indicators of the ITB Strategic Plan 2021-2025, namely a 40% postgraduate student percentage by 2025. Based on the fulfillment of basic competencies. computing, there is a general scheme or unification of cognate and non-cognate Bachelor-Masters degrees with the Informatics Masters Study Program, which is divided into three categories as follows:

1. Linear, for undergraduate students who have met all basic competencies. Based on the curriculum, undergraduate programs that meet these requirements are those from STEI-K (Informatics Engineering and Information Systems & Technology).
2. Semi-linear, for undergraduate students who have fulfilled some of the basic competencies. Based on the curriculum, the undergraduate programs that fulfill this requirement are those from STEI-R (Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering).
3. Non-linear, for undergraduate students who do not yet have basic competencies. Other study programs outside of STEI can generally be categorized as non-linear, except for those that have basic competencies. computing. Evaluation of study programs outside the STEI environment whether they are included in the semi-linear or non-linear category will be carried out on a case-by-case basis when the related undergraduate study program students register for this program.

Basic Competency Table Computing

The course structure of the PPSM Informatics Masters Study Program is as follows.

PPSM students are required to undertake a continuous TA Thesis, which is the implementation of TA in the undergraduate program and thesis in the master's program with a continuous topic so that it is part of the work/research in the same area. Related to the category of PPSM program participants, the rules for implementing a Continuous TA Thesis are defined as follows. 

1. Linear: students are required to carry out a Continuing Thesis TA with the same topic and supervisor.
2. Semi-linear: Students are advised to undertake a Continuous Thesis TA with a topic that is possibly multidisciplinary in nature with the student's undergraduate program field and with a supervisory team that can come from the student's undergraduate study program and from the Informatics Master's study program. However, if not, then students are required to undertake a TA with a topic in the field of computing, even though it is not continuous with the thesis topic in the Informatics Master's Study Program and can be carried out with a different supervisor.
3. Non-linear: students are advised to undertake a Continuous Thesis TA with a topic that is possibly multidisciplinary in nature with the student's undergraduate program field and with a supervisory team that can come from the student's undergraduate study program and from the Informatics Master's Study Program. However, if not, then students are advised to take a TA topic in the field of computing, although it is still possible to take another topic outside the field of computing according to the field of their study program, so that it can be carried out with a different supervisor than the thesis.

The general management plan for the Continuous Thesis TA is as follows.

1. Supervisor requirements:
   The Continuous Thesis TA is carried out with the same supervisor for both the TA and the Thesis. The maximum number of supervisors is 2 people, both for the TA and the Thesis. If there is only 1 supervisor, then the supervisor must be eligible as the main supervisor in the undergraduate study program and the Master of Informatics Study Program. If there are 2 supervisors, then one of the supervisors must be eligible as the main supervisor in the Master of Informatics Study Program and the rules for the order of the main and assistant supervisors follow the rules in the undergraduate study program and the Master of Informatics Study Program. The list of supervisors for the Master of Informatics Study Program can be accessed at Dosen Pembimbing Tesis Magister Informatika ITB.
2. Topic requirements:
   • The topic of the Continuing Thesis TA must be within the scope of the computing field.
   • The topic of the Continuing Thesis TA must consider the appropriate level of knowledge and depth and must can be divided clearly target untuk proses TA di program sarjana dan target proses tesis di program magister. 
   • The topic of the Continuing Thesis TA must consider the appropriate level of knowledge and depth and must
   • Thesis topics for Continuing Thesis Projects can come from prospective supervisors or from student proposals. If the proposal originates from the student, it must be consulted with and approved by the supervisor.
3. Student data collection:
   Before the 7th semester of the undergraduate student program begins, the PPSM implementation team held a meeting and socialization with all students participating in the PPSM program who were due to take their TA in the 7th semester. Students were asked to submit their TA Thesis taking plan to get information about participants who would take the Continuous Thesis TA, especially for students from the semi-linear and non-linear categories.
4. Topic and supervisor allocation procedures:

• For all students who will undertake a Continuous Thesis TA, the PPSM implementation team coordinates with all TA implementation teams in all related student study programs and the thesis implementation team of the Master of Informatics Study Program to coordinate the allocation of Thesis TA topics and supervisors for the students concerned.
• The process of allocating the topic and TA Thesis supervisor can be a special case in the allocation of the topic and TA supervisor in the student's undergraduate study program and the procedure can be adjusted to the procedure in each undergraduate study program provided that the topic requirements (see point 2) and supervisor (see point 1) are met.
• After students are allocated a topic and supervisor, students report the Continuing Thesis TA planning proposal that has been signed by the student and supervisor to the PPSM implementation team.
• The topic and supervisor allocation process can begin before semester 7 begins and must be completed no later than the 7th week of semester 7 of the student's undergraduate program. 

1. Taking related courses:
   a. Taking TA course in undergraduate study programs
   • Assumption: There are TA-I courses in semester 7 and TA-II in semester 8 in each undergraduate study program. 
   • Students carry out the Continuous Thesis TA portion for the undergraduate program by following the TA implementation procedures in their respective study programs with the following note: in submitting the TA proposal, the topic and planning for the implementation of the Thesis must also be included.
   • Students take the TA-I course in semester 7. All or part of the topic and supervisor allocation process can be done in this semester (see point 4.d.)
   • TA-II courses are taken in semester 8.

1. Taking Research Methodology and Thesis course This is implemented after the student changes status to a Master of Informatics student. The Research Methodology course is taken in semester 1 and the Thesis course is taken in semester 2 and is implemented according to the procedures and regulations applicable in the Master of Informatics study program.
   Note: In submitting the thesis proposal, the results of the TA must be submitted which will be continued in the thesis.

1. During the Continuing Thesis TA implementation, students are not permitted to change topics and supervisors, especially from TA to Thesis. Changing topics or supervisors may be done for certain emergency reasons and follow procedures established by the Informatics Master's Program and acknowledged by the PPSM implementation team.

The Master Program in Informatics at the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, ITB, offers a Dual / Double Degree Program (DDP) in collaboration with several partner universities abroad. Students participating in the DDP can obtain degrees from both institutions—one from ITB and one from ITB’s partner university overseas. 

Students may begin their studies in the Master Program in Informatics at ITB and attend courses at ITB during the first year, following the ITB Master in Informatics curriculum. In the second year, they will continue their studies at a partner university abroad. The reverse also applies for students from partner universities: they will follow the curriculum at their home university during the first year, and then continue their second year of study at ITB.

Currently, the Master Program in Informatics at ITB offers a Dual / Double Degree Program (DDP) in collaboration with the following four partner universities:
