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.
