Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya

What Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya does

Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (UNUSA) is a private, multi-faculty higher education institution headquartered in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, operating under the Yayasan Rumah Sakit Islam Surabaya (YARSIS) nonprofit foundation — the same entity that runs RSI Surabaya A. Yani, RSI Surabaya Jemursari, and RSIA Nyai Ageng Pinatih hospitals. Established in 2013 as an evolution of STIKES Yarsis, UNUSA delivers degree programs across six academic units: the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Economics, Business and Digital Technology, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Sciences, and the School of Management and Sustainable Health, plus a primary-care clinic (Klinik Pratama UNUSA). The university serves domestic Indonesian students and recruits selectively abroad (Philippines, Japan-bound nursing pathways, Malaysia medical internships), with a stated roadmap to position itself as an 'International Networking University' by 2027-2031.

UNUSA's technology footprint is built around a conventional digital campus stack rather than proprietary AI: a Sistem Informasi Manajemen (SIM) covering academic, financial, HR, and facility operations; an online attendance and HR dashboard; the 'Esorogan' Kuliah Daring e-learning platform; a digital library; the SIMLITABMAS research management system; and Android-based attendance and maintenance apps. The university's revenue model is tuition-driven across its faculties, supplemented by YARSIS foundation support and industry partnerships (PT Petrokimia Gresik, Pelindo group, Koba Mirai Japan) for internships and workforce placement, including a structured Japan employment pathway for nursing and midwifery graduates. Recent strategic moves include entry into QS World University Rankings and THE Impact Rankings 2025, a research collaboration with the University of Manchester on fetal brain development (August 2025), and an announced AI-ready curriculum redesign. Distribution is conducted through three Surabaya campuses, an online registration portal (pmb.unusa.ac.id), and the Nahdlatul Ulama community network spanning Islamic boarding schools across Indonesia.
