Within what is an increasingly crowded private higher education sector, Perbanas Institute excels beyond its competitors receiving regional prestige for Shariah banking research and development. To further this mission, in mid-2016 Perbanas Institute introduced its Shariah Economics undergraduate study programme as part of the institute’s ever-expanding available courses; the niche programme is the first course of its kind in Indonesia. Cooperation with key international partners including partnerships with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and CPA Australia has further cemented the institute’s increasingly pronounced role on the regional stage as a centre for banking and finance education.
Perbanas Institute remains steadfastly committed to their mission of producing the best banking professionals in Indonesia. In a measure to accommodate to the increasing demand from students in addition to improving upon its cutting-edge learning facilities, Perbanas Institute aims to develop its campus facilities while also striving to establish a far-reaching presence in secondary cities throughout Indonesia. Unwavering commitment to education and research places the institution in a prime position to be a driving force for conventional and Shariah banking education developments and to forge further ties within its network for sustainable advancement of the banking industry in Asia.
