The Undergraduate Science Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) is one of ten study programs selected to undergo the international accreditation site visit conducted by ASIIN. The assessment took place over two days, March 11–12, 2026, at the Ballroom of the Graduate Building, FMIPA UNY, and was conducted in both offline and online formats. The accreditation process is divided into two clusters: Mathematics and Science, and Chemistry and Biology. The ten participating study programs include undergraduate and graduate programs across mathematics, chemistry, biology, and science education, including the Undergraduate Science Education program.

This assessment represents a strategic effort by FMIPA UNY to ensure that its teaching processes, curriculum, and graduate quality meet international standards. It also reflects the university’s commitment to delivering inclusive, high-quality, and globally competitive higher education. The ASIIN assessors consist of international experts from various universities in Germany, along with education practitioners and industry representatives. Assessors from the Mathematics and Science cluster include experts from Würzburg University, Regensburg University of Applied Sciences, and Vechta University. Meanwhile, the Chemistry and Biology cluster includes representatives from the University of Jena, Technische Hochschule Lübeck, and Westphalian University of Applied Sciences.
