Prasetiya Mulya was founded in 1980 by a group of prominent businessmen and then established in 1982 with assistance from prestigious international institutions as the first to offer the MBA programme in Indonesia. In early 2016, the institution achieved a milestone moment by becoming Universitas Prasetiya Mulya and it remains the leading private business education programme provider in the country, upholding the original aims of the founders to offer the highest standards in business and management education for graduates, undergraduates and executives. Under Universitas Prasetiya Mulya, the institution will place greater priority on the field of applied Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In keeping with this recent development, Universitas Prasetiya Mulya makes available a number of new study programmes including Food and Business Technology, Energy Engineering, and Tourism Business among others.
Being founded by members of the country’s business community has ensured an effective balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application within the curriculum. With a renewed focus under Universitas Prasetiya Mulya, faculty members have designed a cross-sector curriculum therefore further strengthening its capability to produce work-ready graduates. To cater to the corporate sector, the school offers both degree and non-degree programmes as well as research and training for individuals, local companies and major multinationals.
Universitas Prasetiya Mulya has two campuses: the Cilandak campus in South Jakarta and the BSD campus towards the south west of the Greater Jakarta area with expected future developments to cater to the increasing numbers of enrolled students in addition to providing cutting-edge facilities to support its newly-established study programmes.
