Master Program in Information Systems and Technology

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 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 of Informatics Study Program, selection of prospective MBR students is carried out based on documents, written exams, and interviews, namely:

1. Selection based on documents:
   • TPA & TOEFL scores follow 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 Informatics Masters 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 may recommend the prospective student if they have published at least a paper in international conference proceedings, or at least have research content in their undergraduate final project, or have research experience deemed to be of a higher level.
2. A written exam specifically assesses basic competency in Informatics. This is the same as the regular pathway. For MBR students, this exam can be used to confirm their undergraduate degree.
3. Wawancara (mencakup presentasi draft proposal riset)
   • 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.

The Bachelor's 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 targeted in the 2021–2025 ITB Strategic Plan, namely a 40% postgraduate student population by 2025.

Berdasarkan pemenuhan kompetensi dasar computingthere is a general scheme or unification of cognate and non-cognate Bachelor–Master 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 fall into 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.

Tabel Kompetensi Dasar Computing

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

PPSM students are required to undertake a continuous TA–Thesis, which involves completing a TA in the undergraduate program and a Thesis in the master's program on a continuous topic, thus forming part of the work/research in the same area. Regarding the categories of PPSM program participants, the rules for implementing a continuous TA–Thesis are defined as follows:

1. Linear: students are required to carry out continuous TA–Thesis with the same topic and supervisor.
2. Semi-linearStudents are advised to undertake a continuous TA–Thesis with a topic that is possibly multidisciplinary in nature with the relevant undergraduate program field and with a supervisory team that can come from the relevant undergraduate program of the student and from the Informatics Masters 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 Masters Program and can be carried out with a different supervisor.
3. Non-linearstudents are advised to carry out a continuous TA–Thesis with a topic that is possibly multidisciplinary with the field of the student's undergraduate program 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 design for sustainable TA–Thesis management is as follows:

1. Supervisor requirements: Continuous TA–Thesis is conducted with the same supervisor for both TA and Thesis. The maximum number of supervisors is 2 people, for both TA and Thesis. If there is only 1 supervisor, then the supervisor must be eligible as the main supervisor in the undergraduate and Masters Informatics study programs. 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 main and assistant supervisors follow the rules in the undergraduate and Master of Informatics Study Programs. The list of supervisors for the Master of Informatics Study Program can be accessed at ITB Master of Informatics Thesis Supervisor.
2. Topic requirements:
   • TA–Thesis topics must be within the scope of the computing field.
   • TA–Continuing Thesis topics must consider the appropriate level of knowledge and depth and must can be divided clearly targets for the TA process in undergraduate programs and thesis process targets in master's programs.
   • The topic of the TA–Continuous Thesis must be in accordance with the student's chosen path in the Informatics Masters Study Program.
   • TA–Continuing Thesis topics can come from prospective supervisors or from student suggestions. If the proposal comes 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 plans to obtain information about participants who would be taking ongoing TA-Thesis, 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 TA–Thesis, the PPSM implementation team coordinates with all TA implementation teams in all related student study programs and the thesis implementation team of the Informatics Masters Study Program to coordinate the allocation of TA–Thesis topics and supervisors for the students concerned.
   • The process of allocating TA–Thesis topics and supervisors can be a special case in the allocation of TA topics and supervisors in the student's undergraduate study program and the procedure can be adjusted to the procedures 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 ongoing TA–Thesis 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.
5. Taking related courses:a. Taking TA courses 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 ongoing TA–Thesis 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.
   • TA-II courses are taken in semester 8.
6. Taking the 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.

Notes: In submitting a thesis proposal, the results of the TA must be submitted which will be continued in the thesis.

1. During the ongoing TA–Thesis process, 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.

To make it easier for students to choose elective courses that suit their needs, elective courses are grouped into 6 (six) Research and Professional Clusters as follows:

1. Information System Cluster,
2. Trusted and Smart System Cluster
3. Privacy and Digital Forensics Cluster
4. Smart Education Technology Cluster
5. Digital Services Transformation Cluster
6. Digital Security Cluster
