What Universitas Hasanuddin does

Universitas Hasanuddin (UNHAS) is a state-owned public university (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) under Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Higher Education, Science and Technology, founded in 1956 and headquartered on the Tamalanrea campus in Makassar, South Sulawesi. It is the largest public university in eastern Indonesia, delivering accredited undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and professional programs across twelve faculties. Its academic services are delivered through a digital ecosystem anchored by Neosia (student academic portal), an OAI 2.0-compliant institutional repository, a library system, a journal management platform, a public information disclosure (PPID) portal, and a centralized single-sign-on application panel (apps.unhas.ac.id) operated by the Directorate of Information Systems and Digital Transformation. The university serves approximately 1,001–5,000 employees and a large student body, including 635 international degree and non-degree students drawn from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, plus 2,964 new postgraduate enrollees reported in the most recent admissions cycle.

The university's revenue model combines four streams: (1) tuition and academic fees (subsidized domestic rates and differentiated international rates), (2) annual government budget allocations (DIPA) tied to its PTN-BH legal status, (3) competitive research grants from Indonesian ministries, Bappenas, Australia's DFAT (Australia Awards), and other development partners, and (4) licensing and royalties from research commercialization — most notably the 'hilirisasi riset' (downstreaming) of agricultural innovations such as Jagung Jago, Ayam Alope, and seaweed products. UNHAS pursues internationalization through twelve international-class programs, a dedicated International Office (Kantor Urusan Internasional), and 12+ active bilateral student-mobility partnerships spanning Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, and Hong Kong.

UNHAS operates a research infrastructure comprising the Center of Excellence in Science and Technology (PUI), Thematic Research Groups (TRG) under LPPM, and the SDGs Center (operating since 2019, recognized by Bappenas). The SDGs Center functions as the institution's hub for national-development policy advisory, sustainability reporting, and constitutional-educational programming, including a June 2026 MoU with MPR RI for civic literacy seminars. The institution is governed by a Rector (currently Prof. Dr. Ir. Jamaluddin Jompa, M.Sc.), a Board of Trustees (MWA), an Academic Senate, and a tier of Vice Rectors covering academic affairs, research/innovation/partnerships, and human resources/information systems.
