Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) is a program launched by the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia that aims to encourage students to master various scientific fields to prepare for the world of work. The MBKM program gives students the right to take courses outside the study program for one semester and/or engage in activities outside the college for a maximum of two semesters. Universities are also given the freedom to provide several forms of learning activities (BKP) according to the needs and interests of their students. To support the MBKM program, the Agricultural and Agribusiness Economics Study Program (EPA) has been working with various partner institutions and companies since 2021 to organize MBKM. In 2023 the MBKM program is focused on MBKM BKP Internships, Research, and in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian Agribusiness Study Programs (IPSAGRI) to organize Student Exchange MBKM. Activities carried out by students in MBKM can be converted into courses consisting of hard skills and soft skills courses, which are equivalent to 20 credits. The MBKM program can be taken by semester VI and VII students who have completed compulsory courses (Semesters I-V). The list of MBKM partner institutions and companies initiated by the Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Study Program are:
