UPNVJ Public Relations – Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ) inaugurated 605 graduates from the Faculty of Engineering (FT), Faculty of Computer Science (FIK), and Faculty of Law (FH) in the 77th Graduation Ceremony for Diploma, Bachelor's, Professional, and Master's Programs at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC), Senayan, Jakarta, Saturday (12/9/2026). Hundreds of graduates from the engineering, information technology, and law clusters are expected to be able to respond to changes in the world of work that are increasingly influenced by industrial transformation, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and regulatory dynamics.

According to data from the UPNVJ Academic Division, 177 graduates came from the Faculty of Engineering, 259 from the Faculty of Computer Science, and 169 from the Faculty of Law. These three faculties were among the 916 graduates who participated in the second session of the 77th Graduation Ceremony, along with the Faculty of Health Sciences. Overall, 1,943 graduates from seven faculties participated in the 77th UPNVJ Graduation Ceremony, held in two sessions.

The presence of 605 graduates from these three disciplines reflects the growing need for cross-disciplinary human resources. Industrial change requires not only professionals with a strong understanding of engineering and technology, but also human resources capable of building digital systems, managing information, understanding regulatory aspects, and ensuring technological developments are within the law and within the public interest.

From the Faculty of Engineering, graduates come from the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Naval Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. These four fields are directly related to the needs of the manufacturing, energy, maritime, automation, production systems, and engineering-based technology development sectors. UPNVJ academic data lists these four study programs as undergraduate programs developed by UPNVJ's Faculty of Engineering.

The strengthening of academic quality at the Faculty of Engineering is also reflected in the accreditation achievements of its study programs. UPNVJ noted that the Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Naval Engineering, and Electrical Engineering study programs, which have undergone the accreditation process, have received the Excellence rating. This achievement provides graduates with the necessary capital to enter a professional environment that demands technical competence, problem-solving skills, innovation, and a readiness to adapt to developments in industrial technology.

Meanwhile, graduates of the Faculty of Computer Science (FK) bring increasingly relevant competencies amidst the accelerating digital transformation. The field of Informatics and Information Systems (IIS) plays a crucial role in software development, systems and data management, information security, business process transformation, and the use of artificial intelligence. UPNVJ is currently developing education at FIK through Diploma 3 (D-3) in Information Systems, Bachelor's Degree in Informatics, Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems, and Bachelor's Degree in Data Science.

The demand for computer science graduates is also growing with the increasing use of technology in government, industry, public services, healthcare, education, and the economic sector. Therefore, graduates need to possess more than just mastery of devices and applications; they also need analytical skills, adaptability, digital ethics, and the ability to use technology to solve real-world problems.

This challenge aligns with the focus of UPNVJ Rector, Prof. Dr. Anter Venus, MA, Comm., on the use of artificial intelligence in education. On numerous occasions, the Rector has emphasized the importance of using technology as a means to strengthen students' thinking skills, not as a substitute for reasoning skills. This orientation is increasingly relevant for computer science and engineering graduates who will be directly exposed to developments in AI, automation, and digitalization in the professional world.

In the legal field, UPNVJ's Faculty of Law prepares graduates to address increasingly complex legal issues. Developments in digital technology, trade and business, data protection, international relations, and changes in public governance require legal professionals who not only understand regulations but also can critically analyze social change and technological developments.

UPNVJ currently develops legal education through the Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Business Law, Master of Laws, and Doctor of Laws programs. The presence of education at these various levels strengthens the Faculty of Law's role in producing human resources who can contribute to law enforcement, public policy, the business world, research, and the development of legal science.

The convergence of three scientific disciplines at the 77th Graduation Ceremony demonstrated that future challenges increasingly require multidisciplinary collaboration. Technological innovation requires legal certainty, digital transformation requires secure and accountable systems, and industrial development requires engineering personnel capable of integrating efficiency, sustainability, and public interest.

For UPNVJ, graduation is not the end of the learning process. Prof. Dr. Anter Venus, MA, Comm., previously emphasized that graduates need to continue growing into adaptive, critical individuals, and be able to maintain their thinking skills amidst the rapid changes in information and technology. This message places academic competence, character, and a willingness to continuously learn as the primary assets for graduates entering professional life.

This spirit is in line with the theme of UPNVJ's 77th Graduation Ceremony, "Becoming Competent Graduates, with National Defense Character, and Impactful to the Nation." Through the inauguration of graduates from the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Computer Science, and Faculty of Law, UPNVJ affirms its commitment to producing human resources who are not only ready to enter the workforce, but also able to use science, technology, and professional skills responsibly to bring benefits to society and the development of Indonesia.
