The Kampus Berdampak policy shifts the emphasis of Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka from program delivery to outcomes experienced by students, industry, and society, yet few studies examine how it works at the study-program level. This article analyses the MBKM Internship program among Sociology students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya using Edwards III's four implementation variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. It applies a descriptive qualitative case study. Data come from interviews with four students placed at the East Java Provincial Parliament (DPRD), its Secretariat, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs office in Surabaya. Informants were selected purposively and the data were analysed with the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive model. Students understood the program as work experience and credit conversion, not as part of the Kampus Berdampak policy. Supervision was rated positively and partner choice was considered adequate. Weaknesses appeared in the clarity of internship outputs and conversion rules, slow placement, self-funded costs, and progress communication. The internship strengthened communication, accuracy, responsibility, and social observation, while the use of sociological concepts depended on the assigned tasks. The program lacks measurable impact indicators. The article recommends an output guideline, a partner bank aligned with sociology, and a cost-support scheme.
