As the follow up of the workshop on curriculum, the Department of Management integrates Soft Skills Program (PSS), as an extra-curricular activity, into the curriculum of Management Department of Undergraduate Study Program of FEB-UGM. The decision has been valid since 26 June 2013. The Odd Semester of Academic Year 2014/2015 is the starting point for PSS, with three credits of semester, to be an obligatory activity for students to take and to be a precondition for them to graduate. The materials attached to this Soft Skills Program cover up three packages (1) Leadership, (2) Creativity, and (3) Communication Skill. New students of batch 2014 of both Regular Undergraduate Program and International Undergraduate Program (IUP) are the first liners obliged to take the three PSS packages.

1. Registration for Course Taking and Activities Schedule

Students are free to choose in which semester they want to take the PSS packages within a cycle of 4-year-normal curriculum (8 semesters). The registration for PSS via Sintesis FEB-UGM opens every even semester of an academic year. PSS Leadership consists of two Workshops and Organization Mandatory Period.

• Early Phase Leadership Workshop (WK) is conducted in the beginning of odd semester, the second week after the lecturing period starts.
• Final Phase Leadership Workshop (WK) is conducted in the end of even semester, the last week before the lecturing period ends.
• Leadership Actions Project (PAK) is an obligation for students to join an organization for a year of stewardship. This project runs between the two workshops.

PSS Creativity and PSS Communication Skill are conducted annually for three effective weeks taking the last two weeks of July and the first week of August. Both programs have similar schedule consisting of 5 (five) meetings with 2.5 hours each for two weeks and the last week is for final assignment.

Attendance is mandatory for both PSS Creativity and PSS Communication Skill. Only when students are hospitalized or the core member of family dies, they can be absent from the program for no more than twice. Leaving the program more than two times will make students fail; hence, they have to recur another time from the start.

Considering the tight schedule, students are not permitted to take PSS Creativity and PSS Communication Skill in the same year.
