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. ”
As an institution of higher education dedicated to the mission of equipping its graduates with the tools and experiences to become globally-competitive leaders in academia as well as industry, BINUS UNIVERSITY in mid-May 2016 hosted its latest event organised to provide current students with greater international exposure. From 10th to 17th May 2016, the university cooperated with Coventry University from the United Kingdom to host Game Jam – a one-week programme in which 18 students (nine from each university) were provided with the opportunity to test their skills as budding game developers by actively carrying out the game creation process encompassing planning, designing and realisation in the form of a prototype.
To encourage collaboration between students from BINUS and Coventry, teams for the Game Jam programme were formed so that each group of three was comprised of individuals from both universities. As a means of preparing participants for the nuances of the game development industry, each team member was required to take upon a specific role in undertaking the project, namely as a game designer, artist or programmer. Following the completion of the prototypes, each game was reviewed by a panel of lecturers from BINUS UNIVERSITY and Coventry University, provided with feedback and subsequently judged on a number of factors such as aesthetics and programming quality. Of particular merit was 'Rock & Draw', the team awarded first place for its success in creating an engaging multiplayer game over the course of the short time frame.
Beyond providing participants with the chance to further their game development skills, Game Jam also sought to offer an immersive experience for students visiting Indonesia from Coventry University. In addition to the aforementioned project, programme participants also toured cultural heritage sites across Jakarta and engaged in traditional arts and crafts in Bogor. In this regard, BINUS UNIVERSITY hopes to play an active role in showcasing Indonesia as a vibrant destination for students as well as ensure its continued success in working closely with esteemed international partners.
