As part of the implementation of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) and its commitment to a sustainable quality culture, the Faculty of Law, Airlangga University, consistently measures, evaluates, and follows up on various academic and non-academic performance indicators. Through the integration of Tracer Study results, Internal Quality Audits (AMI), and evaluations of educational program implementation, FH UNAIR ensures that every educational process remains relevant to stakeholder needs and the development of the legal profession.
The Tracer Study results demonstrate very positive outcomes in terms of graduate absorption and competency relevance. The majority of Airlangga University Faculty of Law graduates successfully enter the workforce within a relatively short time after graduation, with a high degree of match between their field of work and the legal competencies acquired during their studies. Most graduates work in the private sector, government agencies, state-owned enterprises (BUMN/BUMD), and other legal professional sectors, with job-to-field match rates reaching over 70%, in the closely and very closely categories. Furthermore, tracer study results also indicate that graduate competencies in legal reasoning, legal drafting, case analysis, professional ethics, and advocacy are deemed capable of meeting the needs of the workplace and achieving positive recognition from graduate employers.
Furthermore, periodic Internal Quality Audits for the Bachelor of Laws, Master of Notary, and Master of Laws programs yielded various strategic findings and best practices that serve as the basis for continuous quality improvement. In the Bachelor of Laws program, internationalization is realized through the implementation of a Summer School, enhancement of inbound and outbound student programs, and optimization of international collaboration through various tailor-made programs that support student mobility. Furthermore, student competency development is continuously carried out through moot court activities, legal drafting, legal debates, legal clinics, internships, student exchanges, and national and international competitions.
In the Master of Notary Program, various academic innovations have successfully increased the effectiveness of students’ study period, including a semi-package curriculum design that allows for faster completion of studies compared to similar programs at other universities. The curriculum’s excellence is further enhanced by specialized courses such as Islamic Banking Deed Preparation Techniques and Contract Design Analysis. Meanwhile, the Master of Law Program has developed various study acceleration mechanisms through proposal weeks, thesis examination weeks, colloquiums, a more structured thesis scheduling system, and progress monitoring through innovative academic programs. This has resulted in an increasing number of students completing their studies in less than four semesters.
These various achievements demonstrate that the quality assurance process at UNAIR’s Faculty of Law (FH) does not stop at the evaluation stage but continues with the implementation of measurable follow-up actions oriented towards continuous quality improvement. Information obtained from tracer studies is utilized to strengthen the curriculum, enhance graduate competencies, and expand partnership networks with the professional world. Meanwhile, the results of the AMI (Analysis of the AMI) serve as the basis for improving academic governance, enhancing educational services, strengthening internationalization, accelerating study periods, and developing various student-centered learning innovations.
Through a consistent cycle of evaluation, follow-up, and improvement, the Faculty of Law, Airlangga University, strives to maintain the quality standards of higher legal education that are superior, adaptive, and globally competitive, in line with Airlangga University’s vision to produce graduates with the character of Excellence with Morality and capable of making real contributions to society, the nation, and the world.
Connecting Tracer Study (graduate outcomes) with AMI (internal process improvement) thus illustrates a complete quality cycle: evaluation → findings → follow-up → continuous quality improvement.
