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 lecturer, Prof. Tirta Nugraha Mursitama, S.Sos., M.M., Ph.D., is currently carrying out a research project in the field of international political economy (IPE). Prof. Tirta is the Department Head of International Relations at BINUS UNIVERSITY for the 2012 – 2019 term in which he is also a senior figure at the university’s International Business and Management study programmes. As part of his latest research initiative, Prof. Tirta is striving to analyse the measures in which the role of the ASEAN Economic Community can be improved amidst dynamic global economic changes; among the research variables that are taken into account include micro-regionalism, cross-border trade, and regional integration. Prof. Tirta has also partnered with the Indonesian Ministry of Education Directorate General of Higher Education (DIKTI) for the research project that is slated for completion in 2020.
Taking into consideration the regional perspective of the research, Prof. Tirta has sought to understand the effects of greater integration between Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia that can encourage non-state actors to push for micro-regionalisation which in turn supports regionalism that is led by the state; the underlying discovery of the research thus far is that the concept of micro-regionalism is a people-oriented approach, therefore, making it more relevant on an individual level. To strengthen his theory, Prof. Tirta thus carried out a field study in Batam which is an area with close proximity to Indonesia’s bordering trade partners and it is also a Special Economic Zone in Indonesia. In spite of steadfast development and being a free trade zone since 1970, Batam has not reached the same level playing field as neighbouring city, Johor Baru, in Malaysia. Upon looking into various variables, Prof. Tirta uncovered that the disconnect between central and local governments create difficulties in the decision-making process which poses a significant impact towards development both on a national and regional level. Previous research discoveries in similar subjects can be accessed by the public through Prof. Tirta’s wide-range of research journals and publications. After the completion of the research in Batam, Prof. Tirta will proceed in carrying out in-depth studies for the areas of Riau, Karimun Jawa, and Natuna Islands.
