International Relation

About Us

The International Relations study program aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of international relations, ongoing global issues, and Indonesia's state of foreign affairs. Our 3-year curriculum was designed to accommodate an efficient learning experience through both theoretical and hands-on learning. In addition, we require students to pursue foreign language classes for two semesters to develop their skill set. With a majority of the program’s lecturers being prominent figures in the field, students can expect to learn from their firsthand experiences. Among others, our lecturers include a former minister, a former ambassador, and numerous experts and consultants working for ministries, state institutions, the private sector, NGOs, and political parties.

Head Of Study Program

Welcome to the International Relations (IR) Study Program at President University, where we don’t just teach you to read the global map—we prepare you to build the bridges that connect it. In today's volatile global economy, diplomacy has moved beyond the halls of government to become the very heartbeat of international business. Our mission is to forge "The Global Strategist"—a professional who combines the vision of a statesman, the precision of an analyst, with the speed of an entrepreneur.
