Freedom to Learn (MBKM) is a new policy of education in Indonesia. The government expects an increase in the competence of graduates, both hard skills and soft skills as well as the competitive and comparative nature of intellectual capital to face up globalization. Students' perceptions of understanding and readiness to implement MBKM need to be known as input to policy makers so that program objectives can be achieved. This research uses descriptive-quantitative and quantitative approaches. The data was obtained from the results of the 2021 MBKM Implementation Survey conducted by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia on Biology Study Program students at one of the Indonesian private universities. The results of the analysis show that MBKM can be a solution to improve students' hard skills and soft skills. The form of MBKM learning activities is in accordance with the needs of future Biology Study Program graduates. In conclusion, a good understanding of the MBKM program and support from the university government and parents will support the realization of the objectives of the MBKM program, which is to produce future leaders who are superior and with good personalities.
