What's happening in PresUniv
Students and their parents must have many reasons and considerations on deciding which university to apply to. The same goes for potential students of President University batch 2020 too. Based on the preliminary survey results that the admission team did, the following three factors topped the reasons why potential students chose President University to continue their study.
Since its establishment in 2004, President University has successfully achieved the title as the second-youngest private university in Indonesia (based on the 2019 non-vocational higher education institutions ranking by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education). In addition, although relatively young, President university managed to get the A accreditation for higher education institutions in 2018.
Regardless of which major the students are taking, it is obligatory for them to do an internship program for one semester that may be extended until 8/12 months. This internship program prepares the future graduates of President University to be one step ahead compared to other university graduates. Upon their graduation, these students would have acquired the necessary work experience that would be highly valued by potential employers during the recruitment process. President University has a special bureau called Internship and Career Center (ICC) to assist students in increasing their working skills and market their competence to the employer. In fact, there are many President University students who have landed a job prior to their graduation.
Other than that, President University has committed to supporting students during and after their study in university. For President University, students and alumni are part of President University forever. For all alumni, the “Free Sit In Class” facility is available, where alumni may take one course for the whole semester. Alumni can renew their knowledge with relevant and up-to-date courses.
Not only that, for alumni who want to continue their education abroad, there is a Center for Language and Culture (CLC) that can provide consultations related to writing statement letters or other assistance related to documents that must be prepared for further study. Some partnerships that have been established between President University and universities abroad also makes it easier for students to find majors or places of further study.
Finally, if students or alumni are interested in creating their own business, President University has a business incubator named SetSail BizAccel (SetSail). Here, students and alumni can conduct business consultations and get assistance in making grant proposals which will certainly be useful for business funding to be built.
Knowing the importance of English for the future, President University is the only university in Indonesia where the teaching and learning process are all conducted in English fully. All majors, every material, assignment, exam, even thesis at President University are all delivered in English. Without leaving Indonesia, students can get the experience of studying at an international university at a fairly affordable cost. The number of international students at President University also supports the establishment of an international environment at President University, thereby encouraging students to actively speak in English.
There is no need to worry, President University provides various scholarship channels for high-achieving students, both academic and non-academic achievements, for which full information can be viewed on the official website of President University. (APW)
