Fostering Excellence in Science Education
The establishment of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (Faculty of MIPA) at Syiah Kuala University (Unsyiah) began in 1989 with the issuance of Rector’s Decree No. 137, 141, and 142 of 1989 regarding the establishment of the MIPA Coordinatorate. The issuance of this Rector’s Decree was based on the Decree of the Director General of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 9, 10, 11, and 12 / Dikti / Kep / 1989 dated February 17, 1989, concerning the establishment of the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Through the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 0383 / O / 1993 dated October 22, 1993, the Faculty of MIPA Unsyiah was officially established. Despite its relatively young age for an educational institution, the Faculty of MIPA, with all its potential and limited resources, has been active in assisting in the mastery, strengthening, and development of basic sciences that serve as the foundation for the advancement of science and technology for the well-being of society, especially in the province of Aceh.
