Management of Character Education based on Islamic Academic Culture (Budai) for the Students of Universitas Islam Sultan Agung (Unissula) of Semarang

Character education in higher education requires serious improvement in its implementation management. So far, character education for students on campus has received less serious attention than character education in schools. Efforts to internalize and embody character values, especially religious character in students, need to be carried out continuously through a planned and integrated program. Character education must be sustainable and never stop as an integrated activity in preparing future generations with noble morals. One of the efforts that can be an alternative to improving student character education on campus is the development of character education management based on Islamic academic culture which is held integratively with various forms of religious activities on campus. Through the development of an academic culture based on Islamic values which became known as Islamic Academic Culture (BUDAI – Budaya Akademik Islami), students of the Universitas Islam Sultan Agung (UNISSULA) Semarang felt the atmosphere and climate of a religious campus as an effort to achieve the vision of "Bismillah Building a Generation of Khaira Ummah".
