Educational Philosophy

The program's educational philosophy was developed to conform to Unud’s philosophy reflected on its motto and symbol. Unud’s motto is taki takining sewaka guna widya, which means 'earnestly devoted themselves to virtue and science'. The symbol of Unud is Widya Cakra Prawartana in the form of a chakra wheel which has a blue base. It carries the notion that science is dynamic spinning like a wheel or chakra. This thinking is very relevant to the concept of life-long learning because knowledge is always spinning and there is a novelty.
