On Saturday and Sunday, May 17–18, 2025, the Faculty of Law of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), through its Natural Resources Governance Studies (NRGS) Center, in collaboration with PT Pertamina (Persero) through Pertamina Corporate University, held the first week of lectures for the “Program Mini Magister Hukum Pertamina 2025”. The sessions took place at the UGM Graduate Law Program, Jakarta Campus, South Jakarta, and marked the inaugural classes of the program series.
The “Program Mini Magister Hukum Pertamina 2025” is a continuation of the previous year's initiative, designed as a specialized legal training program organized by the UGM Faculty of Law through NRGS in partnership with PT Pertamina (Persero). The program focuses on enhancing participants’ understanding of business and corporate legal aspects, specifically targeting managers to executive-level participants within the Pertamina Holding Group. Running from May to November, the program comprises 10 course modules which are convertible into academic credits for postgraduate study at the UGM Graduate Law Program, Jakarta Campus.
The first week of classes was divided into two groups, each attending four lecture sessions held from 09:00 to 17:00 WIB on both Saturday and Sunday. The courses delivered included Introduction to Legal Studies and Introduction to Indonesian Law. The lecturers for the first week were Prof. Dr. Marsudi Triatmodjo, S.H., LL.M. (Professor of International Law, Faculty of Law UGM) and Prof. Dr. Nurhasan Ismail, S.H., M.Si. (Professor of Agrarian Law, Faculty of Law UGM), who delivered the Introduction to Legal Studies sessions; as well as Dr. Mahaarum Kusuma Pertiwi, S.H., M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., and Dr. Dian Agung Wicaksono, S.H., LL.M. (Lecturers of Constitutional Law, Faculty of Law UGM), who taught Introduction to Indonesian Law.
This first week served as a foundational learning phase for participants, preparing them for deeper legal subjects in the following weeks until the 13th week, scheduled for early November. With around 60 participants—most from non-legal backgrounds and representing PT Pertamina (Persero) and its subsidiaries—the sessions featured lively, interactive discussions. Participants showed great enthusiasm, actively asking questions and engaging in case studies relevant to their business practices.
The implementation of the “Program Mini Magister Hukum Pertamina 2025” reflects the collaborative synergy between higher education institutions and the corporate sector—in this case, UGM Faculty of Law and PT Pertamina (Persero)—to foster broader legal understanding that can be practically applied in daily business operations. This initiative also represents a joint effort to support several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
