With the vision of becoming a center of academic excellence in the field of National Resilience with a strategic and multidisciplinary approach, the study program offers a Master’s Degree in Strategic Studies of National Resilience with various specializations. This program is expected to produce graduates who have the ability to develop strategies to address national resilience challenges through multidisciplinary knowledge development, solve problems based on research management, and provide assessments of various phenomena that may disrupt societal, national, and state life, as well as threaten the integrity and existence of a nation.
Specifically, this program aims to produce graduates who are capable of analyzing strategic issues that potentially threaten the resilience of institutions, regions, and the nation; able to formulate strategic development plans at the regional and even national levels; skilled in conducting public and business policy analysis with a resilience perspective; proficient in developing strategic leadership and making decisions in chaotic and conflict situations; and capable of analyzing potential threats and designing early warning systems.
The presence of this study program is closely related to the ongoing challenges faced by women, such as gender-based violence, high maternal mortality rates, harmful cultural practices, and low levels of political participation. As the field develops, it also explores various issues experienced by vulnerable groups such as the poor, minorities, persons with disabilities, and indigenous communities. These challenges stem from unequal social and gender constructions, which are reflected in everyday life practices, social structures, and public policies. The study also examines the impact of gender role constructions on men and discusses ways to engage men in the pursuit of gender equality and justice.

The Japanese Regional Studies Program is different from discipline-oriented fields such as anthropology, archaeology, sociology, linguistics, literature, biology, and similar disciplines that primarily focus on subjects within their specific academic domains. In contrast, area studies is a field that begins with concrete problems and phenomena that arise within a specific time and place in a given social and cultural context. From this perspective, the Japanese Area Studies Program examines the social and cultural unity of Japan as the object of study. In this context, the program aims to explore specific issues and phenomena that emerge in particular spatial and temporal settings within Japanese society and culture.

Indonesia, along with countries around the world, has entered the Urban Age. According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), in 2008 more than 50 percent of Indonesia’s population lived in urban areas, and this number is projected to reach 82 percent by the year 2045. Urban development in Indonesia is facing global challenges, including increasing connectivity among cities marked by the free and cross border flow of resources and information. One of the most immediate challenges is the ASEAN Economic Community.
At the same time, Indonesian cities also face internal challenges as urban populations grow and demand a higher quality of life, all within the unique physical and social context of Indonesia. As cities in Indonesia become centers of social, economic, political, and cultural dynamics, it is increasingly important to understand, anticipate, and design urban growth through a comprehensive and sustainable approach.
This makes urban development an increasingly relevant and compelling subject of study, not only for businesses and the government but also for society at large. In this context, we invite the young generation of Indonesia to join the Urban Development Studies Program at the Graduate School of Universitas Indonesia to explore urban development issues through an intra or transdisciplinary approach. Relying solely on a single discipline will lead to shallow understanding and may ultimately reach a dead end.
