The Graduate School of Manado State University (UNIMA) held a series of academic examinations for doctoral and master’s program students on Thursday, June 11, 2026. The activity forms an important part of the postgraduate academic process to complete students’ study stages in accordance with applicable academic regulations. The examinations included the Closed-Book Doctoral Program (S3) Examination in Education Management, as well as the Thesis Results Examinations for the Master’s Program (S2) in Mathematics Education, Science Education, and English Language Education. The conduct of these exams reflects the UNIMA Graduate School’s commitment to maintaining the quality of educational processes, research activities, and academic supervision across each study program. For students in the Closed-Book Doctoral Program (S3) Examination in Education Management, the exam is a crucial academic stage before candidates are deemed eligible to proceed to the doctoral promotion phase. In this examination, students present their dissertation research results before an examining panel to obtain input, assessment, and strengthening regarding the quality of the scientific work they have prepared. Meanwhile, the Thesis Results Examinations for the Master’s Programs in Mathematics Education, Science Education, and English Language Education serve as an academic forum for students to present their thesis research results. Through these examinations, students receive guidance and evaluation from academic supervisors and examiners so that the scientific work produced becomes increasingly high-quality, relevant, and capable of contributing to the development of knowledge as well as educational practice. The UNIMA Graduate School continues to be committed to improving the quality of its graduates through structured, objective, and quality-oriented academic processes. These examinations are expected to produce outstanding, professional, and integrity-driven postgraduate graduates who can make real contributions to the education sector and society. With the successful implementation of these activities, the UNIMA Graduate School reaffirms its role as a higher education institution that consistently produces qualified human resources at the master’s and doctoral levels.
