FBS Dean, Prof. Dr. I Made Sutama, M.Pd., in his remarks said that at the Development and Program Coordination Meeting (Rakorbang), in 2022, Undiksha was proclaimed an International Reputable University in Education and Leadership (IRUEL), as part of efforts to accelerate realizing Undiksha’s vision to become a superior university based on the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana in Asia in 2045. It was emphasized that FBS as one of the faculties that has been around for a long time is committed to supporting this by preparing relevant programs. “That (IRUEL program, red) is our main reference,” he said.
