This study investigates the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum in higher education institutions in Indonesia. It focuses on the challenges and opportunities during the implementation process and the management strategies that can be employed to optimize curriculum execution. This study uses a SWOT analysis approach, combining data from institutional reports and results from interviews with university administrators, lecturers, and students.
