The Postgraduate Program of Udayana University marked its 33rd anniversary with an official ceremony and series of academic reflection celebrations at the Postgraduate Building (P.B. Sudirman) in Denpasar. The day began with morning exercise, a lively way to bring together staff, lecturers, and students followed by moments of reflection on more than three decades of academic growth and collaboration.

Since its establishment in 1992 with the Master’s Program in Linguistics, the Postgraduate Program has evolved into a leading academic institution offering 70 postgraduate study programs across master’s, doctoral, professional, and specialist levels. This year’s anniversary theme, “Multidisciplinary Harmony for a Sustainable Future,” perfectly captured Udayana’s mission to unite diverse fields from linguistics and law to environmental science, engineering, and finance to address global sustainability challenges.

The event was opened by the new Director of the Postgraduate Program, Prof. I Nyoman Suprapta Winaya, S.T., M.A.Sc., Ph.D., who reflected on the institution’s remarkable journey and announced exciting future plans, including the establishment of a Master’s Program in Artificial Intelligence a forward-looking initiative aligning with the university’s dedication to innovation and collaboration.

The upskill Study Program was deeply honored to be part of this milestone celebration alongside Prof. Ir. I Ketut Sudarsana, S.T., Ph.D, the Rector of Udayana University, distinguished lecturers, and international education partners. Since 2019, our collaboration with the Postgraduate Program has grown into three programs that reflect our shared vision for global learning:

• Tropical Coastal Ecology and Community-Based Management: a 16-week semester program for undergraduate and postgraduate students, now successfully running its third batch.

• Sustainable Development and Ecotourism: a four-week summer course launched this year.

• Sport and Environment: another four-week summer course that also premiered in 2025.

During the ceremony, Rima Maulida, Coordinator of the Upskill Study Program, was invited to share a speech expressing gratitude for this ongoing collaboration. She highlighted the importance of innovation, shared purpose, and continuous cooperation in strengthening international education. Her message emphasized that the partnership between upskill Study Program and Udayana University is not only an academic bridge but also a platform to inspire students from around the world to learn, connect, and grow together.

For our team, being part of this milestone was both an honor and a reminder of the power of collaboration. Over the years, this partnership has brought international and local scholars together in pursuit of knowledge that transcends classrooms and borders.

We are profoundly thankful to Prof. Ir. Ida Ayu Astarini, M.Sc., Ph.D., and the entire postgraduate faculty for their guidance and trust in our shared mission. Together, we look forward to continuing this journey nurturing curiosity, building capacity, and creating pathways toward a sustainable and connected future.
