Universitas Muhadi Setiabudi

What Universitas Muhadi Setiabudi does

Universitas Muhadi Setiabudi (UMUS) is a private higher education institution founded in 2012 in Brebes, Central Java, Indonesia, operating under the Dedy Jaya Grup conglomerate owned by founder H. Muhadi Setiabudi. The university delivers undergraduate and graduate education across five faculties: Economics and Business, Science and Technology, Health Sciences, Teacher Training and Education, and Engineering, with a sixth Faculty of Medicine (Kedokteran) in preparation. It holds B-grade institutional accreditation from BAN-PT and is positioned as the only private university in western Central Java, serving a regional student base drawn primarily from Brebes district and surrounding Central Java regencies — an area characterized by the lowest Human Development Index in the province. Enrollment stood at approximately 369 students (up from 180 under the current rector) with the largest graduating class to date producing roughly 200 alumni, and 386 new students admitted in 2022.

The underlying technology stack consists of a standard academic information system (SIAKAD) hosted on siakadcloud.com for student administration, course registration, and grading, complemented by an e-learning portal, an e-journal repository at jurnal.umus.ac.id, an institutional digital repository at repository.umus.ac.id, and an alumni tracer system at tracer.umus.ac.id. UMUS has secured multiple MoUs with peer universities (UGM, UNS, UNISSULA, UMK, UNIKU, UNIKAL) and government entities (Kabupaten Brebes, BRIDA Jawa Tengah, Lanal Tegal) to support Tri Dharma implementation, MBKM student exchange, joint research, and community service programs.

Revenue is generated through recurring tuition and academic fees across undergraduate and graduate programs, augmented by government-funded scholarships — KIP Kuliah at the national level and Bidikmisi Daerah at the regional level — which subsidize tuition for eligible students. Go-to-market is event-driven (Hardiknas celebrations, regional education exhibitions, KIP Kuliah promotion) combined with direct-to-consumer registration via the PMB online portal at umus.siakadcloud.com and pmb.umus.ac.id. Customer segments span local and regional students, the Brebes local government, and local MSMEs receiving capacity-building support through KKN programs. Specific tuition pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS): Larger, more established private Muhammadiyah university in Central Java (Surakarta). Comparable faith-based private-university model, but with materially greater scale, more programs, and stronger brand - a benchmark for UMUS's longer-term trajectory.
• Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS): Major public university in Surakarta and a current UMUS partner supporting the planned Faculty of Medicine. A much larger incumbent that competes with UMUS for top students but also serves as an academic-quality and clinical-training reference point.
• Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM): Indonesia's top public research university (Yogyakarta) and the UMUS partner for the Faculty of Science and Technology food-technopreneur program, with 50% of FSaintek lecturers as UGM alumni. A national-scale incumbent whose brand and alumni network are a key quality anchor for UMUS.

Direct peers

• Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD): Private Muhammadiyah university in Yogyakarta of similar multi-faculty scope. Comparable Islamic-affiliated private university model, with a more mature accreditation and research track record that anchors what UMUS could aspire to.
• Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Cirebon (UNU Cirebon): Private Islamic (NU-affiliated) university in West Java of comparable scale, and a current UMUS MoU partner for MBKM and joint research. Highly comparable on faith-based private-university profile and regional student recruitment.
• Universitas Pekalongan (UNIKAL): Private university in Pekalongan (neighboring Central Java) with comparable size and faculty structure, and an active UMUS MoU partner for Tri Dharma cooperation. Directly comparable on private-university economics and regional student catchment.
• Universitas Islam Sultan Agung (UNISSULA): Private Islamic university in Semarang, Central Java, and a current UMUS partner on the Visiting Professor and HDI-improvement collaboration. Similar Islamic-affiliated private-university model, though larger and more established.
• Universitas Muria Kudus (UMK): Private university in Central Java (Kudus) of comparable size and faculty mix, and a current UMUS MoU partner under the MBKM program. Closest direct peer given shared geography, private status, and overlapping faculty structure including Engineering, Economics, and FKIP.
• Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto (UMP): Private Muhammadiyah-affiliated university in Banyumas, Central Java with comparable size and multi-faculty structure. A natural private-peer benchmark in the same Central Java private-university segment UMUS competes in for regional students.
• Universitas Kuningan (UNIKU): Private university in Kuningan, West Java of similar size and scope, and an existing UMUS partner covering FKIP, FEB, FKOM, and LPPM collaboration. Comparable as a small-to-mid private university pursuing MBKM-era growth.
