Universitas Kadiri

What Universitas Kadiri does

Universitas Kadiri is a private Indonesian higher-education institution founded in 1980 and operated under the Yayasan Soedanco Supriyadi Walisongo Kediri foundation, headquartered in Kediri, East Java. It delivers undergraduate and graduate instruction across seven faculties and 24 accredited study programs, with a recent cohort of approximately 770 graduates at its most recent commencement. The university has positioned itself as an "Entrepreneur University," coupling degree programs with a dedicated Job Placement Center (JPC), Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) tracks, and SINTA-indexed research output to improve employability outcomes.

Its core operational platform consists of conventional academic information systems — SIAM, SIADO, SIMPEG, and MITRA MBKM — used for admissions, administration, and student mobility rather than for proprietary technology development. The university maintains a partnership network of more than 45 industry and academic counterparties, including PT Pegadaian for finance and entrepreneurship programs, SMA Negeri 1 Grogol as a feeder school, and Malaysian institutions (UTHM, Universiti Malaya, MAHSA University) for inbound international mobility.

Revenue is generated primarily from domestic tuition across degree and professional programs, supplemented by fees from international students, MBKM participants, and professional/continuing learners. Tuition pricing is not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic emphasis has been on quality accreditation (BAN-PT "Unggul" in February 2026; LAM-PTKes "Baik Sekali" for three programs in February 2025), internationalization via Malaysian partnerships, and expansion of the partner ecosystem supporting student placement and entrepreneurship.
