VISION

1. To be a center of excellence in physics and applied physics research and education in the national and international level
2. To produce world-class graduates who are highly innovative and competent in scientific, academic and industrial environments.

MISSION

1. Devotes itself to develop the highest quality programs of teaching and research and to produce physics graduates who play leading roles in the fields of Nuclear and Particle Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Material Science, Geophysics, Medical Physics, Electronic Instrumentations
2. Creates highly innovative programs that fit the needs of society and industry
3. Provides highly competent staff, modern laboratory and computing facilities

The Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia (FMIPA-UI), since its conception in 1961 has constantly producing best physicists, some of them work in hospitals. But it decided to seriously solve this problem by opening a medical physics undergraduate program in 1998 with the help of BATAN (the National Atomic Energy Agency) and the collaborating with Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia and several teaching hospitals notably Persahabatan Hospitals and Ciptomangunkusumo General Hospitals (RSCM). Since then the number of graduates and the level of research and services in this field steadily increased. Recently, the newest addition of stakeholder is BAPETEN that recently conducted joint survey on the equipment's performance and safety in Indonesia 's radiological facility. We were also involved in Ministry of Health's project on non-ionizing radiation and its impact on the society. Recently, we were invited to join the Indonesia Forum for Medical Physics Research and Education initiated by the Ministry of Research and Technology.

It is small (3 PhD's) but includes several auxiliary teachers from BATAN, RSCM, Faculty of Medicine etc.). It serves undergraduate students and also graduate students that recently attract a sufficient number of applicants. This is to extend the activity in the field of Biophysics. Dr. Djarwani also intensifies her effort to study hydroxy-appatite crystalline materials commonly found in living system and to investigate its use as advanced biomaterials for bone prosthetics. Dr. Musbach himself is also a PhD in Biophysics and is doing research on the use of electric field on living cells for environmental monitoring system.

The lecturers in this field, with the association of medical physicists in Indonesia (HFMBI) have already good contact with AFOMP (Asia–Pacific Forum on Medical Physics Associations) and SEAFOMP (South East Asia Forum on Medical Physics Associations) and has been actively contributing in their international conferences for some years.
