The Faculty of Philosophy is the executant of three compulsory subjects for UGM students, namely the Pancasila, Citizenship, and Religion courses. This thing makes the Faculty of Philosophy play an essential role in developing student character.

"The Faculty of Philosophy has always had lectures linked to righteous character and personality, such as religion, Pancasila, and citizenship. So it is indeed suitable if the Faculty of Philosophy becomes the center of nature and character development of UGM students," said the chancellor of UGM, Prof. Ir. Panut Mulyono, M. Eng., D.
