Semarang, May 9, 2026 — In a strategic move to bolster international competency recognition, the Applied Foreign Languages Study Program at the Vocational School of Diponegoro University (UNDIP) organized the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) certification for the Class of 2023. This initiative transcends mere administrative compliance; it serves as a transformative milestone to bridge academic qualifications with the rigorous demands of the global professional landscape.
As a testament to the institution’s commitment to student excellence, the certification was preceded by a two-day intensive coaching session facilitated directly by expert faculty members from the Applied Foreign Languages program. During these sessions, students engaged in deep-dive material reviews and tactical strategy workshops to master both the Reading and Listening components of the examination.
The lecturers provided specialized insights, ranging from rapid audio-context comprehension to effective time-management techniques for dissecting complex texts. This program was meticulously designed to ensure that students were not only technically proficient but also mentally prepared and confident in navigating international-standard assessments.
The success of this program is rooted in a close collaboration with PT International Test Center (ITC), the official licensed provider for TOEIC in Indonesia. Through this partnership, students gained access to valid and reliable assessment instruments, the results of which are globally recognized by thousands of educational institutions and multinational corporations.
In an increasingly competitive higher education environment, international certification acts as a key point of differentiation. For the students, the TOEIC certificate offers several strategic benefits:
Academic Acceleration: Fulfilling graduation requirements through measurable, standardized language proficiency.
Global Mobility: Serving as a crucial instrument for international scholarship applications and student exchange programs.
