Universitas Hasanuddin

About Universitas Hasanuddin

Universitas Hasanuddin is an independent, degree-granting state university whose formal Indonesian name is used on its current institutional and program websites. The university was officially opened on 10 September 1956, following the development of economics, law, and medicine provision in Makassar. Its main Tamalanrea campus was inaugurated in 1981 on a site the university describes as covering 220 hectares. The academic structure spans a wide range of faculties and a postgraduate school. The official program portal lists provision in economics and business, law, medicine, engineering, social and political sciences, mathematics and natural sciences, agriculture, cultural sciences, animal science, dentistry, public health, marine science and fisheries, forestry, pharmacy, vocational education, nursing, and agricultural technology. This breadth makes Unhas relevant to applicants seeking either conventional academic degrees or professionally oriented study, but applicants should distinguish bachelor’s degrees from applied bachelor’s, professional, specialist, and diploma credentials. Unhas remained demonstrably active in 2026. It published current admissions schedules, enrolled a 2026/2027 incoming class, and ran new-student orientation activities in August 2026. Prospective students should use the faculty and admissions pages for program-level decisions because location, selection route, language requirements, fees, and professional progression can differ substantially across the university.

Admissions depend on applicant category, degree level, and study route. For Indonesian undergraduate applicants, Unhas participates in national selection and also operates independent routes. Its 2026 international-class route accepted eligible 2024, 2025, and 2026 secondary-school graduates, allowed two program choices, and used an English proficiency test, academic potential test, and interview. Registration ran from 25 March to 30 April 2026, so those dates are historical and must not be reused for a later intake. The international undergraduate process is separate. The current official guidance requires a secondary-school diploma and transcript translated into English, a motivation statement, curriculum vitae, identification, health documentation, recommendations, and online registration. Applicants normally select one program. The page sets a maximum age of 21 on 1 September of the registration year and accepts recent IELTS, internet-based TOEFL, TOEFL ITP, or Indonesian-language BIPA evidence. Published minimums are IELTS 5.0, internet-based TOEFL 35, TOEFL ITP 450, or BIPA 450; medicine has higher English thresholds. Exemptions apply in specified language-background circumstances, while health-program students must complete BIPA. Graduate and professional applicants face different prior-degree, accreditation, language, and program requirements. All candidates should follow the relevant 2026/2027 or later admissions page rather than relying on general university information.

The official program portal confirms bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees across multiple academic areas. Examples include bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral study in economics-related fields; all three levels in law; doctoral medical science alongside undergraduate medicine and specialist clinical training; and extensive engineering provision. Other fields with postgraduate routes include mathematics and natural sciences, cultural studies and languages, animal science, dentistry, public health, marine and fisheries science, forestry, pharmacy, nursing, agriculture, and agricultural technology. The portfolio is not limited to the three degree levels captured in this record. Unhas also lists applied bachelor’s programs through its vocational faculty, professional qualifications such as pharmacist, accountant, dentist, doctor, veterinarian, nurse, and physiotherapist pathways, specialist medical and dental education, and a nursing diploma. These credentials have distinct entry rules and should not be treated as interchangeable with ordinary bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral study. Instructional language must be checked by program and route. The database records the general language as local, while Unhas separately recruits Indonesian applicants to designated international classes and accepts international degree applicants through a dedicated process. The 2026 international-class selection covered a defined group of subjects and included an English proficiency test, academic potential test, and interview. Applicants should therefore confirm the curriculum language, clinical-language expectations, campus, accreditation, and professional licensing implications directly with the relevant faculty before applying.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is organized around university-wide and faculty-level organizations, communities, services, and interest groups. During Unhas Day in August 2026, part of the 2026/2027 new-student orientation program, the university presented 60 booths representing student activity units, institutions, and campus services. The event was designed to help new students identify activities, meet peers across disciplines, and explore leadership and collaborative experience outside class. The student-affairs site documents activity in sports, arts, photography, student enterprise, community service, scholarships, competitions, and career preparation. Its 2026 announcements also show education-aid opportunities and student project funding, although each opportunity has its own eligibility and selection rules. Students should not assume that a listed scholarship will remain open throughout their studies. University and faculty pages identify student residences or rusunawa, student-activity buildings, sports areas, and the JK Arenatorium. However, no comprehensive university-wide 2026/2027 housing allocation, eligibility, or price schedule was verified. Incoming students—especially those moving to Makassar or assigned to the Gowa engineering campus—should ask the relevant campus office about availability before relying on university accommodation and should budget for private housing if no place is guaranteed.

Location & Surroundings

The university’s principal address is Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan Km. 10, Tamalanrea, Makassar, South Sulawesi. Its history page describes Tamalanrea as the main campus and records its inauguration in 1981 on a 220-hectare site. The location places students in Makassar rather than in a secluded university town, so daily life, commuting, accommodation, and services are connected to a large regional city. Not every student should assume that all teaching occurs at Tamalanrea. The Faculty of Engineering uses a campus on Jalan Poros Malino in Bontomarannu, Gowa, and particular professional or clinical activities may use specialized sites. Campus assignment can therefore materially affect housing and transport choices. Applicants should confirm the teaching location with their program before signing a lease. The official pages reviewed did not provide a current, comprehensive student transport guide or reliable travel-time estimates. International and out-of-region students should compare routes from their intended accommodation to the actual faculty site and allow for Makassar-area traffic when planning costs and schedules.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Costs vary by program and admission route. The official 2026 independent-admission document separates the single tuition calculation, the semester UKT charge, and the institutional development contribution, or IPI, by program. Both UKT and IPI apply to the listed independent-route entrants, but the amounts differ substantially across subjects. The 2026 international-class application fee was IDR 1,000,000. Applicants should use their exact program row and offer letter when budgeting rather than treating one published figure as a university-wide price. A comprehensive 2026/2027 schedule covering every domestic, international, graduate, professional, and specialist route was not verified. Likewise, no current university-wide housing price schedule was found. Students should request confirmation of tuition, one-time contributions, laboratory or clinical expenses, insurance, immigration costs where relevant, and accommodation before accepting an offer. Scholarship and education-aid notices appear on the student-affairs site, but availability and eligibility are competition-specific. Career support is visible through the university’s Career Center and student-affairs programming. Recent activities include interview preparation, graduate-readiness programs, employer engagement, internship opportunities, and career expos. These services can help students prepare and connect with organizations, but the reviewed sources do not provide verified university-wide employment rates, starting salaries, or guaranteed placement outcomes.
