3. Course Code
Codification of courses is prescribed as follows: the first 3 letters is specialization’s code, while the 4 numbers following the letters stand for each different course.
The letter codes for 5 specializations are:
PTN = Animal Nutrition and Feed Science Specialization
PTD = Animal Production System Specialization
PTE = Livestock Regulation and Business Specialization
PTH = Animal Products Technology Specialization
PTR = Animal Reproduction and Breeding in Tropic Specialization
4 numbers following the first 3 letters are:
First number = course in master’s level (6 or 7)
Second number = specialization’s code
Third and Fourth numbers = the course’s code (01, 02, and so forth).
Animal Nutrition and Feed Science Specialization (PTN) = 61
Animal Production System Specialization (PTD) = 62
Livestock Regulation and Business Specialization (PTE) = 63
Animal Products Technology Specialization (PTH) = 64
Animal Reproduction and Breeding in Tropic Specialization (PTR) = 65
4. Course with PTU Code
Courses with PTU code are compulsory courses for students of Master in Animal Science. PTU-coded courses are not included as a part of a laboratory, thus indicated in U letter. The development and management of PTU-coded courses are deliberately assigned to team appointed by the Head of Study Program. The team is in charge of 3 years at maximum.
5. Practicum
Practicum is carried out by each laboratory, coordinated by a lecturer of the course.
