Abstract
The Merdeka Kampus Merdeka Curriculum or known as MBKM has been implemented since 2020 in order to improve the quality of national education. Merdeka Belajar (free to learn) is a natural learning process to achieve independence in creating critical, creative, collaborative and skilled students. The program of learning activities outside of higher education includes: internships or work practices, projects in villages, teaching assistance in educational units, student exchanges, research, entrepreneurial activities, independent studies / projects, and projects Humanity. This research was carried out at the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Universitas Mataram, dan Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram. The results of this study show that the organization of the Independent Learning Curriculum on the Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Universitas Mataram, dan Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram are simultaneously and different. The equation is the implementation of a program of learning activities outside of higher education carried out at the university level, namely teaching in educational units and student exchanges . Meanwhile, research programs , entrepreneurial activities, independent studies/projects, and humanitarian projects are regulated at the university level, meaning that the study program is not given the right to carry out the program. For example, at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, all independent learning programs are carried out by an institution called the Merdeka Belajar Unit.
