This temporary selection pattern takes the form of an interest interview, the institution of origin when attending undergraduate education, discussing the candidate's talents and abilities in relation to his undergraduate academic achievements and the field of work in the industry that is currently being undertaken as well as those of future interest such as production, quality control, quality assurance, or research and development, funding sources, time commitment for the study, and proposed final project topic. Furthermore, it was inquired about the candidate's understanding of the PSMFI curriculum, as well as the master plan or strategy for institutional development and expertise in their respective institutions, in order to increase the level of benefit of studying at the ITB School of Pharmacy. On that occasion, each member of the selection team wrote a separate recommendation for each candidate interviewed. The recommendations are forwarded to the Deans of the ITB School of Pharmacy and the Admission ITB for final approval. The School of Pharmacy selection results are then submitted to the Sekolah Pascasarjana ITB to be determined and announced as the final result of the selection of new Industrial Pharmacy Master’s Study Program admissions. Prospective students who pass the admissions selection then expected to re-register.
