Tarumanagara University | Doctorate Degree Programs

Indonesia’s dearth of PhD holders is a well-known fact, with only 30,000 doctorate graduates in a population of nearly 250 million people (Kadin, 2012). Opportunities in advanced tertiary education have thus not yet been met, highlighting the urgency given the thrust towards postgraduate studies as a means of standing out in an increasingly competitive local, regional and global labour market. Tarumanagara University has been among the local educational institutions to address the disconnect between student demand and the availability of international standard doctorate degree programs. The university currently offers PhD programs in civil engineering and law; two fields in which UNTAR has longstanding success at the bachelor and masters degree level.

Tarumanagara University’s teaching philosophy as it pertains to doctorate degree programs revolves around the concept of developing creative autonomy through independent research. Upon providing PhD candidates with the resources and guidance to initiate ambitious projects, UNTAR encourages its students to take the reins in determining their own schedules, strategy and subject matter. Postgraduate students through this immersive learning experience thus hone skills conducive to their future success as innovators and proponents for progress.
