Field Work Implementation Plan Notes:
- The implementation of field work can involve up to three Compulsory Courses (MKW) or Elective Courses (MKP) for one cohort simultaneously. For example, field work for Sustainable Tourism, Tourism and Environment, and Introduction to Cultural Heritage Management (semester II) would be conducted at a single location used as a field work site.
- Funding from the RKAT is provided as a subsidy; for example, within the DIY region: 1,500,000 per Compulsory Course (or 4,500,000 per field work), and outside the DIY region: 3,000,000 per Compulsory Course (or 9,000,000 per field work). Subsidies for Elective Courses are adjusted according to MKP participants.
- Subsidies for conducting field work courses will be rotated among the courses. For instance, in the even semester of 2022-2023, the three courses in point 1 will receive the subsidy, and in the even semester of 2023-2024, three other courses will receive the subsidy for field work sessions.
