Integration with\nPractitioners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Rina explained, to uphold the quality of these\nvocational majors, all majors will be based on partnership.

Unpad vocational\nprogram emphasizes the balance between theory and practice. This is what\ndifferentiates it from the regular bachelor program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe special thing about vocational is the same amount of\npractical work, or even more.
