A profile of chemistry undergraduate program graduates from Airlangga University has been adjusted to the level of competency standards and graduate qualifications set by the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (INQF), where chemistry graduates (bachelor’s degree) are comparable to level 6 who have competencies as technicians or analysts.
