What are your chances?

Universitas Tanjungpura, commonly called UNTAN, is a public university in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Founded in 1959 as Universitas Daya Nasional, it became a state institution in 1963 and adopted its current name in 1967. UNTAN offers bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, diploma, and professional education across fields including law, economics, agriculture, social and political sciences, engineering, forestry, education, natural sciences, and health. Its main campus is on Jalan Prof. Dr. H. Hadari Nawawi near the prominent Digulis monument. Undergraduate applicants enter through Indonesia’s national selection routes or university-associated independent routes. Most official applicant information is published in Indonesian, making careful review of the relevant program and admission notice important, particularly for international candidates or applicants seeking English-taught study.

Student Life & Environment

UNTAN operates university housing through its Rusunawa and Asrama service. The official housing site identifies separate male and female residence options, a PPG residence, and short-stay accommodation. It describes the residences as a living-and-learning setting with character-development, self-development, and entrepreneurship activities, particularly for first-year students. All active UNTAN students may apply to become residents, but the public page does not promise placement. Applicants should check current availability, eligibility, room conditions, fees, and application dates directly with the housing office. The university’s public-information portal also maintains a page for tuition and scholarship information, indicating that financial-aid opportunities are administered through official channels. Eligibility and application periods can vary by scheme, so students should not assume that an award is automatic or covers all expenses. Beyond housing, central academic pages link students to the university library, repository, journals, learning systems, and faculty websites. These services support study across a geographically concentrated university environment. Detailed, current inventories of clubs, sports facilities, dining, health services, and accessibility arrangements were not sufficiently consolidated in the reviewed sources; prospective students should ask the student-affairs office about the activities and support relevant to them.

Location & Surroundings

UNTAN’s principal address is Jalan Prof. Dr. H. Hadari Nawawi in Pontianak, West Kalimantan. The university’s public-information profile says the campus is readily identifiable by the Digulis monument and the adjoining roundabout commonly associated with UNTAN. Central academic pages use the same Pontianak campus location, although the displayed postal code varies between official pages. Pontianak places students in the provincial capital rather than a rural campus. For applicants from elsewhere in Indonesia, the setting offers access to the administrative and commercial services of a regional city while keeping study within West Kalimantan. Students considering particular faculties, laboratories, clinical placements, or residences should verify their precise locations, because a central university address does not establish that every teaching or practical activity occurs in one building or precinct. The reviewed official sources do not provide a sufficiently current, consolidated account of commuting costs, campus shuttle services, neighborhood rents, or travel times. Students should compare university residence with private accommodation and budget for local transport after confirming where their classes are held.

Costs & Career Outcomes

UNTAN’s official 2026 fee notice uses Indonesia’s Uang Kuliah Tunggal system for new diploma and bachelor’s students. UKT is charged each semester and divided into groups based on the economic capacity of the student, parents, or other payer. The applicable amount also varies by program. The full rector’s tariff document should therefore be used for a personal estimate rather than a single university-wide tuition figure. For the 2026 intake, students admitted through SNBP or SNBT are not charged the institutional development contribution, or IPI. Students entering through SMM PTN-Barat or UNTAN’s independent route are charged IPI once during their studies, with payment allowed over four semesters. These rules apply to the stated 2026 diploma and bachelor’s intake; applicants to graduate, doctoral, professional, or other pathways must consult their own fee schedule. Housing, food, transport, books, equipment, and clinical or field expenses should be budgeted separately because no verified comprehensive cost-of-attendance figure was available. UNTAN links education with fields relevant to regional public services, schools, health care, natural resources, infrastructure, business, and government. However, no current institution-wide graduate employment rate, salary figure, or employer list was verified. Career decisions should therefore rely on program curricula, accreditation, required professional licensing, placement opportunities, and recent program-level tracer studies where available—not on unsupported institution-wide outcomes.
