UBSI’s Solo Campus Officially Receives Approval for Undergraduate Information Systems Programme
Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI) has officially received approval to open an undergraduate Information Systems programme at its off-campus site in Surakarta. The approval document was handed over at the Jakarta office of the Region III Higher Education Service (LLDIKTI) on Wednesday, 7 October 2026.
The move is part of UBSI’s efforts, as a Creative Digital Campus, to widen access to technology-based higher education across the regions.
The permit is set out in Decree of the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology No. 1079/B/O/2026, issued on 21 September 2026. LLDIKTI Region III head Henri Tambunan handed over the document in person.
Henri welcomed the opening of the new programme. “Congratulations on receiving the approval today. We are very open to providing guidance,” he said.
He also encouraged UBSI to prepare for student admissions as soon as possible, provided it complies with the applicable regulations.
At the same event, Mulhadi HM, head of the Institutional and Partnership Working Team at LLDIKTI Region III, offered several management recommendations.
He reminded UBSI to ensure that the new programme is first entered into the relevant higher education database. This is a mandatory requirement before the university can proceed with its first accreditation.
“Once the programme and its lecturers meet the stipulated requirements, including a minimum of five permanent lecturers, the higher education institution can apply for accreditation,” Mulhadi explained.
He added that the programme may already be introduced and advertised to the public.
Representing UBSI, Adi Supriyatna, vice-rector for non-academic affairs, expressed his appreciation for the approval.
Adi described the permit as a major responsibility and a sign of the government’s confidence in the institution’s quality. He also thanked LLDIKTI Region III for its guidance throughout the application process.
“The new programme is designed to meet the strong national demand for digital talent. We are fully committed to maintaining governance and academic quality standards equivalent to those of the main campus,” Adi said.
The undergraduate Information Systems programme at UBSI’s Solo campus is expected to produce highly competitive graduates in the region.
The strategic move is also a response to strong demand for skilled human resources capable of meeting the challenges of future digital transformation.
