As a consequence of the vision and mission of the institution (i.e. Unesa and FMNS) as well as the mandate of Rector Decree, i.e. SK No. 466/UN38/HK/DT/2016 to change the teaching paradigm into student-centered learning and outcome-centered learning, the Program Education Objectives (PEOs) of the Physics Education focus on producing graduates who are capable of becoming reliable professionals, leaders and agents of change in society with adequate capability to be responsive and adaptive to the challenges met.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
As mentioned, besides based on the inputs from stakeholders, the improvements of the physics education’s curriculum structure were also a result of evaluation on current conditions and future needs of the profession in the field of physics, taking into account both national and global challenges being faced as summarised in Figure 1.
By accommodating those challenges, the structure, as well as the course syllabus, have been revised and applied from 2015 to 2019. Continuous evaluation of the implementation is conducted annually.
Figure 1. Recognised Challenges in the Field of Physics Education
The curriculum of the UPPE is delivered in 4 phases/years through 3 main structures: basic knowledge, expertise knowledge and synthesis, as illustrated in Figure 2. In this structure, the learning process to gain competence is modelled as a house. Basic knowledge is the foundation of the programme, expertise knowledge as the pillars, and the synthesis of knowledge as the roof which covers all urban and regional planning knowledge.
Figure 2. Physics Education’s Curriculum Structure
The minimum workload of Undergraduate Programme at Unesa is 144 credit units (CU) which correspond to 5,712 hours1 or 228.48 ECTS2, and are generally distributed in 8 regular semesters. On average, the total hour per semester is 714 hours. The normal workload for each regular semester is limited to 793.33 hours, corresponds to 20 CU (32 ECTS).
Note:
1 In Unesa, referring to 2019/2020 academic handbook, 1 CU for bachelor degree equals to 170 minutes per week (50’ face to face learning, 60’ structured learning, and 60’ independent learning). In one semester, courses are conducted in 14 weeks (excluding mid- and end-term exam). Thus, 1 CU equals to 39.67 workhours per semester.
2 1 CU equals to 1,586667 or 1.59 ECTS, assuming that 1 ECTS equals to 28.56 workhours per semester.
