The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Universitas Riau aspires to become a leading and dignified research faculty in the fields of social and political sciences by 2035. To achieve this goal, an Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) policy is necessary as an implementation strategy to produce graduates capable of competing at national and international levels. The SPMI guidelines include the SPMI Policy, SPMI Standards and Manuals, and SPMI Forms. The SPMI Policy of FISIP Universitas Riau is developed as a document that outlines the attitudes, thoughts, and understanding regarding the Internal Quality Assurance Standards (SPMI) at FISIP Universitas Riau. Higher education quality assurance is a process of planning, fulfilling, and consistently and sustainably developing higher education standards. Internal and external stakeholders of higher education institutions, including students, lecturers, staff, the community, businesses, professional associations, and the government, gain satisfaction as users of the performance of higher education graduates. The Higher Education Quality Assurance System aims to ensure the fulfillment of Higher Education Standards systematically and sustainably, fostering a culture of quality growth within universities. This aligns with the function of Higher Education Quality Assurance, which is to oversee the implementation of higher education by institutions in efforts to achieve high-quality higher education. Higher Education Quality Assurance is an essential program that must be implemented by all higher education institutions, as stipulated in the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 12 of 2012 on Higher Education, Government Regulation Number 19 of 2005 on National Education Standards, and Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 3 of 2020 on National Standards for Higher Education. The implementation of Higher Education Quality Assurance has been regulated under Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Regulation No. 62 of 2016 on the Higher Education Quality Assurance System (SPM Dikti) and Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Regulation No. 53 of 2023 on Higher Education Quality Assurance. The execution and implementation of the quality assurance system are critical aspects in enhancing the competitiveness of higher education institutions. The SPMI policy document of FISIP Universitas Riau is an extension of the SPMI policy document of Universitas Riau, formulated by the Educational Development and Quality Assurance Institute (LPPMP) of Universitas Riau on November 20, 2020. The SPMI policy of Universitas Riau encompasses all aspects of educational administration, both academic and non-academic, by implementing the PPEPP management approach (Establishment, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, and Improvement). FISIP Universitas Riau comprises four departments and three study programs: (1) The Department of Administrative Sciences, which includes three study programs: Business Administration, Public Administration, and Tourism Business; (2) The Department of Government Science; (3) The Department of Sociology; (4) The Department of Communication Science; and International Relations. |
