The Community Service (KKM)/Internship is an elective course that can be chosen by students between KKM or Internship (KP). KKM is a community service activity carried out by students to apply the knowledge gained from research in the field of science and technology to improve societal welfare. Meanwhile, Internship (KP) is a program designed to provide students with practical experience in the actual working world, conducted in institutions or companies related to the field of geophysics.
So far, Geophysics students at Untan have actively undertaken Internships in various institutions, both governmental and private. Some of the institutions frequently chosen for Internships include the Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the Geological Survey Center (PSG), the Center for Coal and Geothermal Mineral Resources (PSDMBP), PT Pertamina (Upstream), PT Antam, PT Harita, and various other companies.
Internship and KKM not only provides practical experience but also expands students' professional networks and prepares them for future challenges. Through collaboration between Untan and various institutions, this program continues to make a positive contribution to career development and the advancement of knowledge for students.
