PGRI University Yogyakarta (UPY) continues to prepare itself to become a class -class ASEAN university in 2022. Various efforts were made to achieve these targets.
& ldquo; one of the efforts to realize that vision by requiring all lecturers to take S3 because it is very good if 30 percent of our lecturers can win doctors in the next four years, & rdquo; said UPY Rector Dr. Ir Paiman MP interrupted the opening of the 55th Anniversary of UPY on the local campus, Monday (11/13/2017).
According to Paiman, increasing the quality of human resources (HR) is very important to increase UPY’s competitiveness at the ASEAN level.

The campus also seeks to increase cooperation, both PT and Overseas. Call it in a joint research student exchange program, journal publishing and so on.
