Contact UsAs a world-class institution committed to research, BINUS UNIVERSITY has developed numerous research programmes and strives to facilitate research-related activities for its faculty members. BINUS UNIVERSITY therefore makes available grants, funding opportunities as well as all-encompassing research tools in order to support wide-ranging research initiatives. In doing so, the university has successfully proposed viable solutions for a large variety of sectors including food biotechnology, computer system, medicine, and bioinformatics among others. As such, BINUS UNIVERSITY is renowned as a highly-proficient partner by industry leaders; currently, the university has established research collaboration with Gudpoin and Yamaha. Moreover, BINUS International is a leading local partner for a number of esteemed institutions of higher education overseas illustrating the university’s extended efforts in spearheading research development.
BINUS UNIVERSITY’s extensive international network of partners of higher education institutions as well as businesses enables its students to partake in a wide array of student mobility programmes, internships, and student exchange opportunities. Furthermore, through its 3+1 enrichment programme initiative, undergraduate students are offered a year of experience in community development, research engagements, and start-up incubators among others. Leading these key programmes are the BINUS Global Collaboration Center, BINUS Career, BINUS Entrepreneurship Center, the Research and Technology Transfer Office, and Teach For Indonesia.
BINUS UNIVERSITY is committed to delivering unsurpassed student experience services thus the university makes available programmes as well as organisations ranging from Alumni Network and BINUS UNIVERSITY Learning Community. To encourage students in partaking in community development initiatives, BINUS UNIVERSITY has also setup Teach For Indonesia thus enabling enrolled students the opportunity to closely engage with Indonesian society. Under the guidance of the International Office, BINUS UNIVERSITY continues to successfully implement recruitment strategies for international students by offering courses that are taught in English. In the coming years, BINUS UNIVERSITY is aiming to increase the number of enrolled local and international students particularly from China and the ASEAN in keeping with its extensive list of university partners in the aforementioned regions. Currently, BINUS UNIVERSITY offers the BINA NUSANTARA Mandarin Club as well as the Mandarin Literature Student Organisation which strives to facilitate students from Chinese-speaking regions; these clubs also enable students to explore BINUS UNIVERSITY’s diverse cultural background.
“ Even though we remain highly-focused on our students and graduates, we are also committed to BINUS UNIVERSITY’s original purpose as a university which is to educate the entire Indonesian society. ”
BINUS UNIVERSITY – School of Design stands at the forefront of collaboration opportunities to deliver excellence in design education. Currently in charge of internationalisation efforts and otherwise an artist and lecturer at the School of Design herself, Ms Hanny Wijaya has recently initiated efforts to work closely with Adobe, reputable regional schools, and even the chief medal designer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics to educate top future designers.
With its Adobe Creative Clouds initiative, Hanny sees “Adobe as an instrument to connect generations X, Y, and Z” in education settings allowing teachers and students to collaborate using mobile devices. As a serious consumer of the Adobe package for teaching and learning, the school is annually invited to participate in Adobe Education Leaders Seminars. This April, interest groups discussed how to keep education relevant to ensure student success. Discussions are underway to explore opportunities for curricular collaborations and how to make Creative Clouds affordably available in the region to ensure the delivery of top education in Indonesia.
With numerous higher education partners in the region, the school is concurrently working on collaboration projects to build knowledge sharing networks. In 2013, BINUS UNIVERSITY – School of Design hosted and regularly participated as a member of the Neighbour Programme Southeast Asia. The programme brings top students and their coaches together for one week where skills are learned and applied. When BINUS UNIVERSITY hosted the event, textiles were explored as a raw material in different aspects of design from fashion to products. The university has also joined Linking Cities, an expanding regional research programme initiated by LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore looking to enhance the research process driving artwork design in Asia. An event for this programme is set to take place in August.
Joint competition is yet another avenue being pursued by the school to encourage individual students to network, explore cultures, and compete with creative design solutions. From June to October students will explore different regional concepts of Peranakan (individuals of mixed Chinese and Indonesian/Malay descent) and their artwork will be judged by both academics and professionals. The university is also collaborating with Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing – China, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi – Thailand, LASALLE College of the Arts, and First Media Design School – Singapore to remove obstacles to student and faculty exchanges. Drawing upon her experience in this regard, Ms Wijaya in May held a guest lecture at First Media Design School to teach theoretical concepts using practical methods. She will also teach and conduct research as part of a faculty exchange programme between BINUS UNIVERSITY – School of Design and LASALLE College of the Arts in August for approximately 3 weeks.
Last but not least, in mid-May BINUS students also enjoyed an exclusive seminar and workshop by Professor Xiao Yong, the chief medal designer of the 2008 Beijing Olympics who has taught at more than 350 universities in the world. He is also an Executive Board Member of CUMULUS Association (2016-2018). The seminar focused on educational and professional perspectives of design in China, while the workshop looked specifically at male/female differences through design and symbolisation.
