Gunadarma University

What Gunadarma University does

Universitas Gunadarma is a private Indonesian higher-education institution owned by Yayasan Pendidikan Gunadarma, a non-profit foundation. It was formed in 1996 through the merger of STIE Gunadarma (established January 13, 1990) and STMIK Gunadarma, and operates 11+ campuses with 78+ lecture buildings across the Greater Jakarta region (Depok, Jakarta, Bekasi, Karawaci/Tangerang) and a strategic new presence at Indonesia's new capital, Nusantara (IKN), in Penajam Paser Utara. It holds "Akreditasi Institusi Unggul" — the highest institutional accreditation tier from BAN-PT — and offers 53 study programs spanning Diploma (D3), Bachelor's (S1), Master's (S2), and Doctoral (S3) levels across faculties including Medicine, Computer Science and IT, Health Sciences and Pharmacy, Civil Engineering and Planning, Economics, Psychology, Industrial Technology, Literature and Culture, and Communication Sciences.

Beyond traditional academics, the university operates a vertically integrated educational ecosystem: UGTV (Indonesia's first licensed community digital TV broadcaster on channel 31, used as a learning medium), UG Technopark (a Penta Helix technology park in Mande, Cianjur, supporting tri dharma and Merdeka Campus policy), a High Performing Computing Hub for data science and AI research, a Virtual Class LMS, an embedded Lembaga Sertifikasi Profesi (LSP) for professional certification, and a Tax Center for community service. It became the first university to break ground at IKN on June 4, 2024, attended by President Joko Widodo, with 8 PSDKU study programs established there.

The business model is tuition-driven across undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and diploma tiers, augmented by professional certification services and a Bank DKI student-loan partnership that expands financing access. Recruitment occurs through an online enrollment portal (pendaftaran.gunadarma.ac.id), physical campus counters across all locations, a dedicated call center (1500158), and multi-channel social media outreach. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
