What Faculty of Art and Design Universitas Multimedia Nusantara does

The Faculty of Art and Design (FSD) is a constituent academic faculty of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN), a private Indonesian university founded in 2007 by the Kompas Gramedia Group. Headquartered on UMN's 8-hectare campus at Scientia Garden, Boulevard Gading Serpong, Tangerang, Banten, FSD operates three undergraduate study programs: Visual Communication Design (specializations in Visual Brand Design and Interactive Design; BAN-PT 'A' accreditation), Film (specializations in Film and Animation; BAN-PT 'B' accreditation), and Architecture (focused on green architecture; BAN-PT 'B' accreditation). The faculty also runs the PPAr professional architecture program.

The faculty serves prospective university students seeking creative-industry higher education, with curriculum positioned as ICT-based and supported by infrastructure including computer and architecture laboratories within the New Media Tower and P.K. Ojong – Jakob Oetama Tower (capacity up to 5,000 students). Its business model is tuition-driven, delivered via direct enrollment through UMN's centralized admission system, with no publicly disclosed revenue, pricing, or headcount beyond an approximately 35-person staff. The faculty differentiates itself through its parent ecosystem (Kompas Gramedia, UMN Pictures), recurring industry-facing events (DARANGSA, FRAGMENT, IMOVICCON, bisascreening), and alumni outcomes including involvement in Indonesian theatrical hits such as KKN di Desa Penari.
