Prof. Drs. H. Ratno Lukito, M.A., DCL., the speaker for the UMY Graduate Program’s AIK study, is a Professor at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta and the Editor-in-Chief of the Scopus Q2-indexed journal Al-Jamiah, published by UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. In his presentation on the theme of the AIK study, he explained that a multidisciplinary approach involves addressing a problem by considering various perspectives from multiple relevant fields. He stated that each Islamic higher education institution may have different terms for its development model, “Although the concepts or labels may vary, there is essentially a common core in viewing the relationship between natural sciences, social sciences, and culture/humanities, namely the desire to build mutual understanding among these three fields of study through synergy, interconnection, or interrelation.”
