This is a step forward in strengthening the quality of education, increasing the competence of Sucofindo employees, and creating a mutually beneficial relationship between FTUI and Sucofindo,” said Prof. Heri.
In line with FTUI’s mission to create engineering graduates who are highly intellectual and able to compete globally, through this collaboration, PT Sucofindo employees have the opportunity to continue their education to the Masters level at FTUI.
