President University (PresUniv) successfully passed the selection of the Program Kompetisi Kampus Merdeka (PK-KM) held by the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbud Ristek), Sunday (6/6). PK-KM is a higher education development program aimed at improving the quality and relevance of higher education by achieving eight Main Performance Indicators (IKU) to contribute to increasing the nation's competitiveness. As a result, PresUniv managed to qualify for the 3rd league for colleges with 1,000-5,000 students.

PresUniv has gone through three stages of selection: administrative evaluation, evaluation of the quality and feasibility of proposals, and feasibility verification in online visits. PresUniv received an online visit by three assessors on Thursday (29/4) in the feasibility verification stage. Under this program, two PresUniv Study Programs will receive IDR 3 billion annually for three years. Two study programs participating in this program are Information Technology and Business Administration, both of which already have A accreditation and are currently applying for international accreditation.

Donald Samuel, Head of the Student Affairs Bureau of PresUniv, said, "This grant is given so that we can implement the program Kampus Merdeka well." PresUniv has prepared four activities for this, namely activities on professional streams, entrepreneurship, scholarships, and institutional internationalization in the form of internationalization of study programs focusing on tourism, digital business, global business, and retail through impactful capacity building to provide world-class education.
