Universitas Brawijaya

About Universitas Brawijaya

Universitas Brawijaya is an established Indonesian public university whose verified Indonesian name is the institution’s current official name. The university was made a state institution on 5 January 1963 through a ministerial decision and was subsequently confirmed by a presidential decision. Its institutional roots include faculties operating in Malang before state recognition, but 1963 is the directly supported university founding year used here. UB is a comprehensive institution rather than a specialist school. Government higher-education statistics report active programs at bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, and official university materials show activity spanning professional, scientific, technological, business, social-science, humanities, and health disciplines. This breadth can suit students seeking interdisciplinary options, though academic rules, facilities, and international exposure may vary substantially by faculty and program. The principal campus is on Jalan Veteran in Malang. UB’s integrated service information also identifies a second Malang location in Dieng, a campus in Kediri, and a Jakarta location used only for postgraduate provision. Applicants should therefore confirm the teaching location of the exact program they select. UB is visibly operating in 2026: official faculty pages list 2026 activities, and its admissions and student-service systems remain active. Students comparing UB with other Indonesian public universities should focus on program accreditation, curriculum, language of instruction, campus assignment, admission route, and the complete cost decision attached to their individual offer.

Undergraduate admission to UB is route-specific. The newest detailed official material located during this review applies to the 2025/2026 academic year and shows national admissions through achievement-based and test-based selection, alongside university-managed routes such as report-card, achievement, disability, and International Undergraduate Program selection. These older dates and procedures should not be reused as 2026/2027 deadlines. Applicants must consult SELMA for the current intake notice, eligible programs, selection method, document requirements, and registration calendar. Requirements also vary by program. Official registration instructions show that certain programs require a color-vision examination, while medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and health-science areas may have additional health or psychological processes. Successful applicants complete online document verification and registration through UB systems. Missing a stated step or deadline can cause an offer to lapse, so applicants should follow the notice attached to their specific route rather than a general checklist. Graduate admission is handled separately through university or program-specific selection for master’s, doctoral, and professional study. Applicants should verify the required prior qualification, academic documents, research proposal or interview expectations, language evidence, and supervisor arrangements where applicable. International applicants should confirm whether they are applying to an international undergraduate route or another degree pathway and request current guidance on passports, visas, translated documents, language standards, and overseas-equivalent qualifications. No universal TOEFL, IELTS, GPA, or acceptance-rate figure was verified, so none should be inferred from this profile.

UB offers education at bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, with additional professional and other Indonesian credential types appearing in its admissions materials. The verified degree-level update is limited to the three schema-supported levels. The academic portfolio is distributed across faculties and schools, so prospective students should use the university’s program directory and the relevant faculty page to check the current curriculum, accreditation, entry conditions, and teaching site. Official program information demonstrates the university’s breadth. For example, the Faculty of Administrative Sciences lists bachelor’s study in Business Administration, Public Administration, Educational Administration, Taxation, Library Science, and Tourism; master’s study in Business Administration, Public Administration, and Higher Education Management; and doctoral study in Administrative Science. Other UB faculties cover fields such as computing, agriculture, engineering, economics and business, law, cultural studies, medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and health sciences. This list illustrates the range but should not be treated as a complete 2026 catalog. Program-specific conditions matter. Some undergraduate choices require color-vision documentation, and health-related fields may impose additional medical or psychological checks. International or English-medium opportunities also exist in selected areas, including International Undergraduate Program admissions, but the database record’s general language designation should not be interpreted as proof that every course is taught in Indonesian or that every program is available in English. Applicants should verify the actual instructional language with the program before applying. Research, laboratories, fieldwork, clinical components, and graduation requirements likewise depend on the chosen discipline.

Student Life & Environment

Student life at UB is organized at both university and faculty levels. Official service information identifies student executive bodies, representative councils, student activity units, departmental associations, and autonomous or semi-autonomous organizations. These groups provide routes into leadership, academic interests, arts, sports, community activity, and other extracurricular pursuits. The exact organizations and participation arrangements vary by faculty, so new students should consult their faculty’s student-affairs office during orientation. University and faculty facilities include study areas, libraries or reading rooms, sports provision, worship spaces, health services, and counseling support. An official computing-faculty facilities page, for example, describes the UB Sport Center, Universitas Brawijaya Clinic, Masjid Raden Patah, counseling, collaborative spaces, and Griya Brawijaya accommodation. Some listed spaces belong to a particular faculty and should not be assumed to be equally accessible from every program. UB operates student lodging through Griya Brawijaya and related residences, but availability, eligibility, room configuration, and current prices were not verified for 2026/2027. Students should not assume that university housing is guaranteed. A sensible planning approach is to ask the accommodation office about current inventory and rules while also comparing private rentals near the assigned campus. International students should additionally confirm immigration support, arrival procedures, insurance expectations, and whether their program provides a dedicated international-office contact.

Location & Surroundings

UB’s main campus is on Jalan Veteran in Malang, East Java. Official university service information distinguishes this location from Campus II in Dieng, also in Malang, Campus III in Kediri, and Campus IV in Jakarta, which it describes as postgraduate-only. Prospective students should check the program’s actual teaching site before arranging housing or transport; the database city of Malang is appropriate for the institution overall but does not describe every offering. The main campus sits in an urban university area of Malang rather than an isolated residential setting. Daily life therefore involves planning for city transport, food, housing, and movement between university facilities. Students considering private accommodation should assess the commute to their specific faculty, not merely the distance to a generic UB map marker. Malang is in East Java and uses Western Indonesian Time. Students arriving from abroad or other Indonesian regions should account for local climate, travel connections, and Indonesian-language needs in everyday transactions. Those assigned to Kediri or Jakarta will encounter a materially different living environment and cost structure, so Malang-based assumptions should not be carried over to those locations.

Costs & Career Outcomes

UB uses program- and route-dependent education charges rather than one reliable university-wide price. Official 2025/2026 registration material refers to Uang Kuliah Tunggal, commonly abbreviated UKT, and shows that an admitted student’s assessed amount may be displayed in the individual admissions account. Some independent or international routes may have different cost components. Because no complete official 2026/2027 fee schedule was verified, prospective students should obtain a written breakdown for their exact program and route before accepting an offer. A realistic budget should include tuition or UKT, any route-specific institutional charge, application and examination costs, housing, utilities, food, transport, study materials, health coverage, immigration expenses for international students, and program-specific field, laboratory, or clinical needs. Historical residence tariffs are not presented as current. Students should ask whether accommodation is available, what the contract includes, and whether deposits or advance payments apply. They should also verify scholarship terms directly; eligibility and covered costs can differ between Indonesian and international applicants. Career support is coordinated through UB’s Directorate of Career Development and Alumni. Its official pages describe career-development work, alumni services, tracer studies, job information, and authorization as a special employment exchange under Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower. UB has also advertised campus-hiring and internship opportunities. These services are useful infrastructure, but they do not guarantee placement or a particular salary. Students should compare each program’s curriculum, practical experience, professional recognition, employer links, and recent program-level graduate evidence where available.
