Program Overview
ITB organizes a Master by Research (MBR) program with the goal of allowing young researchers/engineers in research institutions to continue their education while also increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of link and match research and partnerships between ITB, industry, and/or government in integrated research development, without changing Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs).
Comparison | Regular | MBR |
Structured courses | 26 CU | 17 CU |
Independent study courses (including but not limited to research) | 10 CU | 19 CU |
- Structured lectures are delivered face-to-face or via other means in accordance with applicable regulations.
- Independent lectures can be given away from the ITB campus, and students who are already employed can remain at their home institutions.
- Under the supervision of an ITB lecturer designated by the school/study program, research can be conducted either on the ITB campus or off-campus, for example in student work institutions (if applicable).
Students in the MBR program can be declared to have completed the master's program at ITB if they have:
- Completed the graduation requirements outlined in the program's curriculum, including the required number of credits and GPA.
- Had a scientific paper that has been, at minimum, "accepted" for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal.
- Had a scientific work in the form of a thesis and be declared passed at the thesis defense, which can only take place if points 1 and 2 are met.
