The program's educational philosophy was developed to conform to UNUD’s philosophy reflected on its motto and symbol (https://kc.unud.ac.id/view/peraturan-menteri-risetteknologi-dan-pendidikan-tinggi-nomor-34-tahun-2017-tentang-statuta-universitas-udayana). UNUD’s motto is Taki Takining Sewaka Guna Widya., which means earnestly devoted themselves to virtue and science.

UNUD’s symbol named Widya Cakra Prawartana which means the wheels of science is based on Pancasila. The meaning of the symbols are:

1. Having a shape of a circle having a wheel disc, in the middle there is a Padma (lotus) with eight leaves which symbolize the eight winds points, which symbolizes the sanctity of God Almighty which is the first principle of Pancasila.

2. The wheel disc has four trellis symbolizing the steel-like strength of four Pancasila principles.

3. The outside of the radius of the circle wheel adorned with 54 (fifty-four) points as Ratna Permata in accordance with the sequence of science which are given by Udayana University.

4. The symbol’s color is golden yellow with a blue base color. Golden yellow color symbolizes the sun rise and blue color symbolizes the sky.

This thinking is very relevant to the concept of life-long learning because knowledge is always spinning and there is a novelty. The philosophy of this motto and symbol is communicated through the website (https://www.unud.ac.id/in/tentang-unud19-Arti
