Universitas Nasional

What Universitas Nasional does

Universitas Nasional (UNAS) is a private higher education institution headquartered in South Jakarta, Indonesia, founded on October 15, 1949, as Akademi Nasional. It is the oldest private university in Jakarta and the second oldest in Indonesia, and is owned by the nonprofit foundation Yayasan Memajukan Ilmu dan Kebudayaan (YMIK). UNAS operates 8 faculties with over 40 study programs spanning undergraduate (S1), master's (S2), and doctoral (S3) levels across social and political sciences, economics and business, law, languages and literature, biology and agriculture, engineering and sciences, health sciences, and communication and information technology. In September 2023 it achieved 'UNGGUL' (Excellent) institutional accreditation from BAN-PT, the highest rating in Indonesia's higher education quality framework.

The university serves three primary student segments: recent high school graduates entering undergraduate programs, working professionals pursuing degrees through the Kelas Karyawan (Employee Class) evening program and the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, and graduate students in master's and doctoral research. Admission operates through three channels: regular direct enrollment (PMB), RPL, and the national SNBT/UTBK route. UNAS supports instruction with internal digital infrastructure including Akademik Online (academic management), Web Kuliah (online lecture delivery), a Cyber Library, E-Konseling (electronic student counseling), and a Tracer Study alumni-tracking system. It also hosts 6 recurring international academic conferences across economics, health sciences, social politics, applied linguistics, global issues, and natural products.

Revenue is generated primarily from tuition and registration fees across all program levels, with subscription-style recurring semester payments and supplemental fees for development and registration. The model includes alumni-continuation discounts and dedicated fees for the working-professional Kelas Karyawan cohort. Marketing and student recruitment operate through the institution's own website, dedicated admission portal, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), community events such as Car Free Day outreach and the UNAS FEST, school-partnership visits, and education expos, with a geographic focus on the Greater Jakarta area. UNAS is governed by a YMIK Board of Trustees, a Management Board, and a Supervisory Board, with Rector Dr. El Amry Bermawi Putera, M.A. serving continuously since 2009.
