International Office of Universitas Lampung

What International Office of Universitas Lampung does

The International Office of Universitas Lampung, officially the Technical Implementation Unit for the Development of International Cooperation and Services (UPT Pengembangan Kerja Sama dan Layanan Internasional / PKLI), is a government administrative unit of the state University of Lampung in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Established in July 2014 under Minister of Education and Culture Regulation No. 72 of 2014, it coordinates the university's internationalization activities, including management of Darmasiswa, KNB, and PERMATA scholarship programs, SEA-Teacher and Summer Course exchanges, visiting scholar arrangements, and full degree programs (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral) for international students. The office also handles visa and study permit processing, accommodation, and cultural integration services.

The office's technology footprint is minimal: a WordPress CMS-based public website (io.unila.ac.id) and a referenced SIKERMA UNILA cooperation data system. No proprietary technology, mobile app, or API is documented. The ISO 9001:2015 certification (February 2017) covers management system quality rather than technology capability.

The unit does not generate direct revenue. It is funded through the university's state budget allocation from the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, with scholarship programs channeled through national ministries (Darmasiswa via Ministry of Education and Culture; KNB; PERMATA via Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education). The go-to-market model is community-led: international students are recruited through Indonesian Embassies globally, SEAMEO network channels, partner university consortia (including the 15-university ACP consortium across 7 Asian countries), and inbound applications. Tuition and fee pricing for international students is not publicly disclosed.
