Universitas YARSI recently celebrated the successful completion of multiple international short courses across various faculties, marking a significant step toward achieving international accreditation. The Master of Notary (MKn) Program, led by Dr. Chandra Yusuf, SH., MBA., LLM., MMgt., hosted a course on “The Dynamic of Indonesian Legal System: Challenges and Opportunities in 5.0 Society,” focusing on comparative contract law between Indonesia’s civil law and common law. The discussion highlighted unique principles, such as the reliance on traditional codes in Indonesian civil law versus precedent-based rulings in common law systems.
The event featured international speakers including Prof. Jiang Yueting from Fujian Polytechnic Normal University (China), Prof. Tim Lindsey from Melbourne Law School (Australia), Atty. Joedel Labardo from the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (Philippines), and Prof. Dr. Harald Sippel from Malaysia. In addition to the MKn program, YARSI’s Faculty of Psychology conducted a “Health Psychology International Short Course” led by Ratih Arruum Listiyandini, Ph.D., who covered mental health first aid and strategies to handle mental health challenges in the global landscape. Esteemed speakers like Christina M. Antonites, Ph.D. (University of Cape Town), Dr. Amalia binti Madihie (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak), and John Paul Cauchi, Ph.D. (Queen Mary University, Malta Campus), further enriched the sessions.
Other participating faculties included the Faculty of Economics and Business, Medicine, Dentistry, and Biomedical Sciences, each offering specialized short courses that attracted participants from around the world, including countries such as Malaysia, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Pakistan, and Kenya. Topics spanned from digital transformation in librarianship, led by speakers like Wardiyono, SS, MBA, and Prof. Pimrumpai Premsmit, Ph.D. (Chulalongkorn University), to themes in health, wellness, and global collaboration.
