Student Life & Environment

Student involvement includes university activity units covering martial arts, sport, performance, photography, outdoor or environmental interests, student regiment activities, and AIESEC. Examples on the official activity page include aikido, kung fu, kendo, taekwondo, diving, Voice of Maranatha, the MCU Choir, Teater Topeng, and the Maranatha Photography Club. Availability and participation requirements should be reconfirmed with the relevant unit. The main campus supports both study and recreation. The university identifies a central library, Sports Center, Dental and Oral Hospital, and auditorium among the Surya Sumantri facilities. Its 2025 sustainability reporting describes the two-level Sports Center as providing an indoor court used for basketball, futsal, badminton, and table tennis, together with fitness equipment, lockers, and bathrooms. A faculty facilities page describes the central library as occupying two floors of the Grha Widya Maranatha building and providing print materials, journals, e-books, student and staff research, and internet services. Career and counseling support is available through Maranatha Student Career and Counseling. Its published services include vacancy and further-study information, campus recruitment, career and entrepreneurship workshops, academic and career consultations, an annual job-and-education fair, and twice-yearly Career Days. The reviewed official materials did not establish university-operated housing, a residential requirement, meal-plan arrangements, or current accommodation prices. Students relocating to Bandung should therefore budget separately and request current housing guidance directly from admissions.

Location & Surroundings

The principal campus is at 65 Prof. drg. Surya Sumantri Street, Bandung 40164, West Java. This is the address published by the university for its main contact and admissions functions. The campus integrates core academic buildings with public-facing facilities including the Dental and Oral Hospital, Sports Center, and an auditorium. Bandung is a major urban center in West Java, so students can expect a city-based rather than isolated residential-campus experience. The official materials reviewed do not provide verified commute times, transport costs, or university housing. Applicants should assess accommodation and daily travel against the exact building where their course is taught, particularly because practical or clinical education may involve specialist facilities or partner health institutions. The Kota Baru Parahyangan campus is a separate supporting site. The university says it was inaugurated in 2025, covers 11 hectares, and is intended as a smart-and-green environment for academic activities. It should not be assumed that every program is based there. Prospective students should confirm their normal teaching location, whether activities move between sites, and the resulting transport implications before committing to housing.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The university publishes program-by-program charges rather than one universal tuition figure. Its 2026/2027 undergraduate table separates the total initial admission payment from later semester or monthly BKT options, and the amount differs substantially by subject. The initial figure includes an entry payment plus IDR 2,200,000 for campus introduction and the university jacket. Applicants should use the row for their exact program, confirm which intake discount is reflected, and ask whether laboratory, clinical, professional-stage, graduation, or other charges fall outside the displayed amount. The 2026/2027 fee schedule is the appropriate reference for students already entering that academic year, while candidates applying after August 2026 should consult the published 2027/2028 wave and fee table. Scholarship routes include the 2026/2027 Maranatha Champion Scholarship, whose benefits varied by faculty and could combine initial-payment and semester-tuition reductions subject to conditions, including a stated GPA requirement for continued semester reductions. Because awards are pathway-specific, applicants should not subtract the maximum advertised benefit from costs until receiving a formal offer. The International Study Program has a distinct currency and cost structure. Its official page states that Maranatha tuition, overseas partner tuition, travel, insurance, accommodation, meals, and personal expenses may be charged or paid separately depending on the chosen pathway. Those figures should not be applied to regular programs. For career preparation, Maranatha Student Career and Counseling publishes vacancy information, organizes campus recruitment, workshops, an annual job-and-education fair, Career Days, and individual consultations. No independently verified salary or placement-rate evidence was found, so career decisions should be based on program accreditation, curriculum, practical requirements, and direct questions about recent outcomes in the intended field.
