What Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia does

Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia (DLI) is a joint international higher-education campus established in Bandung, Indonesia, in February 2025, operating through a not-for-profit foundation (Yayasan Deakin Dan Lancaster University Indonesia) under agreements with Deakin University (Australia) and Lancaster University (UK). The institution offers a one-year Foundation Program and five undergraduate dual-degree tracks in Commerce & Accounting & Finance, Business Analytics, Commerce & Business Management, Computer Science, and Cyber Security & Computer Science; graduates receive two separate bachelor degrees — one from each partner university — in three to four years of study. Curriculum is delivered in English on the Bandung campus using Moodle for learning management and Zoom for virtual classes, with industry input from IBM, Deloitte, and PwC into the Business Analytics track.

The business model is tuition-driven: students pay IDR 148.9M-179.9M per year (roughly USD 9.5K-11.5K) plus a non-refundable IDR 10M acceptance deposit, with scholarships ranging from 20% to a single 100% Rector's award. Day-to-day campus administration, IT, and operational services are delivered by PT Navitas Educational Services, the Indonesian subsidiary of global education operator Navitas Pty Ltd. Go-to-market is multi-channel: a contracted global education agent network (onboarded via the StudyLink Connect Partner Portal), the institution's own admissions team, regional offices in Jakarta and Surabaya, and a high-cadence calendar of info sessions, open days, campus tours, and school visits across Indonesian cities including Bandung, Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali, and Lampung.

All DLI dual bachelor degrees are approved by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology and registered with PDDikti as equivalent to the domestic Sarjana (S1) degree, while the partner universities hold accreditation from Australia's TEQSA (Deakin) and the UK's Office for Students (Lancaster). The institution is positioned as the first international joint campus in Indonesia to award dual Australian and UK bachelor degrees, with study-exchange pathways to the Deakin and Lancaster home campuses as an embedded feature of the program.

Revenue model

1. Tuition Fees: DLI generates revenue through annual tuition fees charged to students for foundation and undergraduate dual-degree programs. Students pay tuition fees which cover teaching, examinations, assessment and graduation costs. An acceptance fee deposit equal to 50% of first year total fees is required upon enrollment.
2. Scholarships: Merit and need-based scholarships ranging from 20% to 100% of tuition fees are offered to attract and retain students. While scholarships reduce revenue per student, they serve as a marketing tool to drive enrollment.
