The International Undergraduate Program for Metallurgy and Materials Engineering is a joint program between the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia and the School of Physics and Materials Engineering, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. This is an undergraduate course, designed to be completed in 4 years (full-time) duration. Two years of the study is conducted in Jakarta at the Depok campus of the University of Indonesia, and the final two years are conducted at the Clayton campus of Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Upon completion of study, graduates will be eligible for two degrees:
- B.E. (Materials Engineering) from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, which is accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAUst), and
- S.T. (Sarjana Teknik) from the University of Indonesia, which is accredited by the Department of National Education, the Republic of Indonesia.
The two degrees and the world-wide reputation of both universities will allow graduates to find a broad range of work places in Australia, Indonesia and around the world.
This program offers low cost of study, the total tuition fee is at least 50 % cheaper when compared to a 4 year full-time study in Australia. This is not to calculate the much lower living cost in Indonesia than in Australia.

The objectives of this program are to produce graduates having the following qualifications :
- Possess strong engineering background, with major in Materials Engineering.
- Possess the ability to identify, to specify and to solve problems in engineering.
- Possess up-to-date knowledge and skills in engineering to enter competitive job market both in Indonesia and world-wide.
- Are able to work as a team.
- Possess good and effective communication skills.
The first two years of the program is delivered fully in English by the Department of Metallurgy, University of Indonesia at the Salemba and Depok campuses starting in September each year. Upon meeting requirements, students will transfer to Level 3 at Monash University. The final two years of the program will be delivered by the School of Physics and Materials Engineering, Monash University at the Clayton campus in Melbourne, Australia.
At Monash, the program is part of the regular Materials Engineering courses. No special class is arranged, to allow the students from Indonesia to completely mix with Australian local students and experience engineering education in Australia. A job training is compulsory and part of the subjects accredited by the Institution of Engineers Australia. It is usually conducted for 12 weeks during summer break at Level 4 and the School will help in finding places for the job training.
The requirements for transferring to Monash University are as follows :
- IPK (Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif) ≥ 2.75 (on a 4-point scale).
- IELTS score of 6.0, with no band lower than 6.0; OR TOEFL score of 550 AND TWE (Test of Written English) of 5; OR Computer-based TOEFL score of 213 with an Essay Rating (ER) score of 5.
The transfer for a successful student from the University of Indonesia to Monash University is expected to be in July. In specific circumstances, transfer can be conducted in February.
