The establishment of MP-PE aims to prepare students to become skilled planners, developers, thinkers, and or practitioners in the field of physics education. This is one of the manifestations of UPI's vision to be a "Leading and Outstanding University," with a mission to provide education to prepare competitive global teaching professionals and other professionals. In addition, graduates of the MP-PE program are expected to be individuals with high integrity, who are open-minded, responsive to the development of science and technology, and who continuously motivate themselves as professional scientists and educators.
The primary objective of this study program is to produce graduates who not only possess a strong foundation in physics but also have the ability to teach, solve problems, and conduct research in physics education. Graduates are expected to be competent, creative individuals who contribute to the advancement of science and education.

The MP-PE curriculum is designed to achieve more specific Program Learning Outcomes (PLO). These PLOs refer to the competencies and skills that graduates must possess upon completing their education. The following is an explanation of the PLO that will shape the curriculum structure.
- PLO-1 aims for graduates to demonstrate scientific, educational, and religious attitudes and behaviors that contribute to improving the quality of life in society, nation, and state based on academic culture, norms, and ethics
-
PLO-2 Master the theoretical concepts of classical and modern physics to solve contextual problems.
-
PLO-3 Master the philosophy, concepts, and theories of learning in education and their implications for physics learning.
-
PLO-4 Master quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research methods in physics education to address physics education issues using interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approaches.
-
PLO-5 Integrate learning and innovation skills, mastery of technology and information, career development, and life skills to become lifelong learners.
-
PLO-6 Develop and publish logical, critical, systematic, and creative thinking through scientific research, design creation, or artistic works using interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approaches, considering and applying humanities values according to their expertise.
-
PLO-7 Conduct and manage physics education research to solve problems using interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approaches, resulting in innovative and validated work
-
PLO-8 Publish research papers in nationally accredited journals or international seminar proceedings or international journals.
