FKG UNHAS Showcases Academic Excellence at the International Dental Physiology Quiz
The Faculty of Dentistry (FKG), Hasanuddin University (UNHAS), participated in the International Dental Physiology Quiz (IDPQ) on 17 January 2026 as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening academic excellence and enhancing international exposure among undergraduate dental students. FKG UNHAS was represented by selected student delegates who competed in this international academic competition, which focuses on both fundamental and applied aspects of dental physiology. The programme provided students with an opportunity to benchmark their academic competencies against peers from other institutions while engaging in a competitive and intellectually stimulating environment.
Throughout the competition, the FKG UNHAS delegation demonstrated strong academic performance. One team successfully advanced to the Quarter-Final round, while another progressed further to the Semi-Final round. These achievements reflect the students’ solid foundation in dental physiology, effective teamwork, and their ability to perform in accordance with international academic standards.
Beyond the competitive outcomes, participation in the IDPQ delivered significant academic and institutional benefits for FKG UNHAS. The students gained firsthand exposure to international assessment formats, engaged in scholarly interactions with faculty members and participants from other universities, and strengthened their confidence in representing the institution at the global level. At the institutional level, this participation supports FKG UNHAS’s strategic objectives to enhance the quality of dental education through international academic engagement, encourage greater student involvement in global academic competitions, strengthen the faculty’s international visibility and reputation, and cultivate future dental professionals equipped with strong scientific foundations and global perspectives.
Overall, FKG UNHAS’s involvement in the International Dental Physiology Quiz represents a meaningful contribution to the faculty’s continuous efforts to promote academic excellence and advance internationalization initiatives.
