Public Relations of UPNVJ – The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of the National Development University “Veteran” Jakarta (UPNVJ) presented Professor of the Department of Accounting, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia (UI), Prof. Dr. Sylvia Veronica Nalurita Purnama Siregar, in the Visiting Professor and Seminar on Master of Accounting Thesis Results, Tuesday (11/10/2026). The activity, which took place at the UPNVJ FEB Building, Pondok Labu, South Jakarta, aimed to improve the quality of student research through academic mentoring and evaluation of thesis results. The forum also served as a means of knowledge exchange to strengthen research culture and academic networks between campuses.
This activity was attended by the Coordinator of the Accounting Study Program of the UPNVJ Masters Program, Dr. Ferry Irawan, SE, Ak., S.ST., SH, ME, MPP., BKP., CPA., CSR., along with the ranks of study program coordinators and Masters of Accounting students.
The series of activities began with a Thesis Results Seminar, which provided students with the opportunity to present their research findings to academics. Through this forum, students not only presented their research findings but also received input on the accuracy of their methodology, the depth of their analysis, and the relevance of their findings to developments in accounting science and practice.
Sylvia's presence as an external academic provides an additional perspective in evaluating the quality of students' research. The feedback provided is expected to help participants identify aspects of their research that need strengthening, from developing scientific arguments to discussing the results.
Following the seminar, the event continued with a Visiting Professor session, which included presentations, academic discussions, and independent work. This session provided an opportunity for interaction between students and speakers to explore research approaches and broaden their understanding of developments in accounting science.
Combining thesis seminars with the Visiting Professor program is one approach at FEB UPNVJ to integrate student research evaluation with academic enrichment. Through these activities, students have the opportunity to test research arguments, sharpen critical thinking skills, and develop scientific communication skills.
In addition to improving the quality of theses, this activity aims to encourage research that not only meets academic standards but is also relevant to real-world problems in the accounting field. Thus, student research findings are expected to contribute to the development of both scientific knowledge and professional practice.
The involvement of University of Indonesia professors also strengthens the academic network of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at UPNVJ with other universities. Inter-institutional knowledge exchange is crucial for building a learning environment open to developments in research methodologies, ideas, and approaches.
Through this activity, FEB UPNVJ affirms its commitment to improving the quality of postgraduate education by placing research quality as one of the priorities for academic development.
In line with the direction of institutional development, strengthening the culture of research and collaboration between campuses is expected to support UPNVJ's commitment to producing competent, adaptive graduates who are able to make real contributions to society through relevant and impactful research.
