Malang (28/6) - Master Level Course (MLC) is a workshop that is regularly organized by UMM. After a hiatus for a year, in 2019 UMM again organized MLC. This time, UMM was represented by the Faculty of Law and the Center for Islamic Studies and Philosophy (PSIF). In addition to internal UMM, this year's MLC also collaborated with the Ministry of Religious Affairs and world-renowned campuses, namely BYU (USA) and Oslo University (Norway).

The number of MLC participants this time broke the record for the most participants in the history of the MLC, namely 42 participants. The MLC, which was designed as a workshop equivalent to a Master's degree, presented experts in the fields of human rights and Sharia. The participants were from all over the archipelago.

Scharffs (BYU Law School), Prof. Tore Lindholm (Oslo Uni), Lena Larsen, PhD (Oso Uni) Dr. Siti Ruhaini D (Chair of the OIC Human Rights Commission), Cekli Setya P, LLM (FH UMM) and Pradana Boy ZTF, PhD (Presidential Staff for Religious Affairs). This time, the MLC was opened directly by UMM Vice Chancellor I, Prof. Syamsul Arifin, as well as closed with his story of initiating the MLC several years ago.

Thank you to the parties who have helped, hopefully it will be beneficial for the development and progress of sharia-based human rights."
