The name of the Thesis Supervisor is received by students no later than 20 (twenty) working days from the time the student submits a Letter of Cover accompanied by a Title and Formulation of the Problem.

3. Proposal Drafting

After the student receives the name of the supervisor, the student makes an appointment with their thesis supervisor bringing the title and abstract. The Thesis Supervisor has the right to determine other Titles and/or Problem Statements. After the Thesis Advisor approves the Title and Problem Formulation, students record the approved Title and Abstract in the Register Book provided in the office of the Academic Section of the Health Law Masters Study Program. Students can only submit a thesis title in one semester if the student concerned registers the writing of the thesis on the Study Plan Card (KRS) for that semester.

Next, students compile a research proposal or proposal, which is then consulted with the thesis supervisor. Not later than 60 (sixty) working days after the Title and Problem Formulation is approved, the Proposal or Research Proposal must be approved by the Thesis Advisor.
