UIN Suska Riau

What UIN Suska Riau does

UIN Suska Riau (Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau) is an Indonesian State Islamic University located in Pekanbaru, Riau Province, founded in 1960 and elevated to UIN status in 2004. Operated under the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, it serves primarily Indonesian students seeking higher education that integrates Islamic ethical principles with science, technology, and professional disciplines. The university offers academic programs across nine faculties (Pascasarjana, Tarbiyah dan Keguruan, Syariah & Hukum, Sains & Teknologi, Dakwah & Komunikasi, Pertanian & Peternakan, Ekonomi & Sosial, Psikologi, and Ushuludin) spanning Diploma through Doctoral levels, with more than 40 undergraduate, 7 master's, and 3 doctoral study programs. The Faculty of Tarbiyah and Keguruan alone employs over 123 assistant-expert lecturers, indicating substantial institutional scale.

The university operates a portfolio of digital service modules including e-Journal (academic publication), iRaise Akademik (academic information system), SIREG (student registration), PMB CAT Mandiri (computer-based admissions testing), PPID (public information disclosure portal), and dedicated systems for KKN community service, HR, and research management. These systems are administrative in nature rather than AI-driven. The university is actively preparing for the establishment of a new Faculty of Medicine (Fakultas Kedokteran) and Medical Doctor Profession Study Program in 2026, supported by foster-university partnerships with UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang and strategic collaboration with Universitas Riau.

Revenue is derived from two principal streams: Uang Kuliah Tunggal (UKT) tuition fees structured into multiple tiers based on family economic capacity, and operational funding from the Indonesian national budget (APBN) channeled through the Ministry of Religion and Ministry of Education. Additional funding flows from research grants and community service programs. The university recruits students through multiple national admission pathways — SNBP, SNBT, SPAN-PTKIN, UM-PTKIN, SMMPTN Barat, and Mandiri — alongside its own digital marketing channels (website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube). Industry partnerships with Bank Syariah Indonesia, PT PP Tirta Riau, and the Riau Provincial Manpower Office support curriculum alignment, while international exchange programs extend reach to Kazakhstan and Southeast Asia. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
