President University

What President University does

President University is a private Indonesian higher-education institution headquartered within the Jababeka Industrial Estate in Cikarang Baru, Bekasi, West Java. The university operates seven faculties — Business; Artificial Intelligence and Smart Manufacturing; Engineering; Social Science and Education; Law; Medicine; and Art, Design, and Architecture — delivering undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs primarily in English-medium instruction. The institution serves three customer segments: domestic Indonesian undergraduates (largest), graduate and working-professional learners (S1 Professional/Kelas Karyawan and master's students), and international students who comprise approximately 20% of enrollment from 30+ nationalities. Co-location inside Jababeka, which houses 1,700 multinational companies from 30 countries, is the institution's foundational differentiator and is operationalized through a dedicated Internship & Career Center (ICC) reporting a 93% graduate placement rate at approximately 300 employer partners.

Revenue mechanics are tuition-driven and subscription-recurring across multiple pricing tracks: Jalur Rapor, UTBK SBMPTN, achievement scholarships (Jalur Prestasi), online entrance tests, special admission tracks, professional class programs for working adults, and international class tracks for ASEAN, APAC, EMEA, and China regions. A joint-degree pathway with Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and Indonesia's Ministry of Finance TIAS Scholarship channel add complementary revenue and access layers. Supporting the academic business line are the Setsail entrepreneurship accelerator, Ecampus digital learning platform, FABLAB fabrication laboratory with 3D printers and laser cutters, and full Adobe Creative Cloud access for Visual Communication Design students. Notable technical and infrastructure investments include an Academic Medical Center with CBT, OSCE, and discipline-specific labs (Faculty of Medicine, established August 2023), accredited program-level facilities, and partnerships with Pearson, Coursera, BRIN, PLN ICON+, PT Mattel Indonesia, TUM Singapore, Soongsil University (Korea, MoU June 2025), and the Indonesian Architects Association (IAI, MoU December 2024), alongside 53 international university partnerships supporting student exchange.

The go-to-market operates across three channels: direct-to-consumer admission through the central admission portal and six admission pathways (some self-serve digital, others field-driven), community-led international recruitment via 53 partner universities across Europe, USA, India, Australia, Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, and event-driven marketing at international education expos including Education Plus 2025 in Chengdu, China. Accreditations include the highest national Akreditasi A from BAN-PT institution-wide, program-level 'Unggul' (Excellent) ratings from LAMEMBA, LAMINFOKOM, LAMDIK, and LAMSPAK, and supporting 'Baik' (Good) ratings for newer programs including Medicine. The institution was founded in 2001 (Faculty of AI established 2002, Faculty of Medicine established August 2023), currently employs 501–1,000 staff, and is led by Rector Dr. Handa S. Abidin under the President University Foundation chaired by Vice Chairman Suteja Sidarta Darmono.
