One of the best ways to gain this experience is through the Independent Internship Program (Magang Merdeka). This time, we are sharing an inspiring experience from Nauval Hasemi Andari Asyikin, a student from the Faculty of Communication Sciences at Gunadarma University (FIKOM UG), who had the opportunity to participate in Magang Merdeka at the Secretariat General of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology (Setjen Ditjen Diktiristek) through MSIB Batch 6 as an Academic Staff and Lecturer Development Program Analyst.

Exploring Higher Education Governance

During his internship, Nauval gained valuable experience in higher education governance in Indonesia. He studied various policies, regulations, and mechanisms for managing educational resources, which play a crucial role in improving the quality of higher education. Through his involvement in various academic and administrative aspects, Nauval obtained firsthand insights into how education policies are developed and implemented.

Developing Academic Program Analysis Skills

As an Academic Staff and Lecturer Development Program Analyst, Nauval was actively involved in analyzing academic programs related to the professional development of educators. He learned to understand the needs of lecturers and academic staff within the framework of national education policies. This experience sharpened his skills in data analysis, strategic planning, and academic program evaluation, which are essential competencies in the professional world.

A First Step Towards a Broader Professional Career

This internship was not only about theoretical learning but also provided Nauval with the opportunity to expand his professional network, work in a dynamic environment, and gain a deeper understanding of how higher education policies contribute to Indonesia’s academic future.
