The faces full of emotion and pride were clearly visible among the deans, vice deans, heads and secretaries of study programs, laboratory heads, chairs and secretaries of the Quality Assurance Group (GJM), lecturers, and academic staff who attended the event. Some of them were even seen shedding tears, witnessing the results of hard work since two years ago which finally paid off with proud results.

A Proud Achievement
Being unconditionally accredited by ACQUIN is a very important and prestigious achievement for UIN Jakarta's Faculty of Psychology. The term unconditional in this context refers to the granting of international accreditation without any additional terms or conditions, meaning that the Faculty of Psychology UIN Jakarta has met all the quality standards set by ACQUIN without any extension of time or improvements requested.

The ACQUIN international accreditation process is not an easy one.

The emotional atmosphere that enveloped this event is proof that this long journey towards international accreditation requires not only hard work, but also a spirit of togetherness and a strong determination to give the best.

With the ACQUIN 2024 accreditation, UIN Jakarta's Faculty of Psychology can now step more confidently in facing global educational challenges and provide greater benefits to the community, nation, and world. Hopefully.
