What are your chances?

Universitas Tarumanagara, commonly called Untar, is a private university in West Jakarta, Indonesia. Its origins date to the establishment of Perguruan Tinggi Ekonomi Tarumanagara in 1959, followed by the development of architecture and other fields in the 1960s. Today, the university organizes teaching across eight faculties and a postgraduate program, with offerings at bachelor’s, master’s, professional, and doctoral levels. Subject areas include business, law, engineering, medicine, psychology, computing, design, and communication. Untar’s two principal campuses are in the Grogol area, close to TransJakarta and commuter-rail connections as well as hospitals and major shopping centers. This is a metropolitan institution rather than a secluded residential campus: students should consider Jakarta’s travel times, living costs, and predominantly Indonesian academic environment when deciding whether it fits their plans.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is based in a dense urban campus environment rather than an isolated university town. Untar’s facilities include a library, group-study rooms, a theatre, art and creative studios, green-screen and recording studios, an AM radio studio, a concert hall, a cinema room, a sports hall, a fitness center, and outdoor art space. These facilities support both academic production and extracurricular interests in media, performance, visual arts, and sport. The university’s Student and Alumni Affairs Office administers student-organization activities, scholarships, activity permissions, and Indonesia’s Student Creativity Program. Students can therefore pursue organized projects outside class, although prospective applicants should ask for the current roster of active clubs because the public pages do not provide a stable, comprehensive 2026 list. Housing is available through Untar Residence, opened in 2025 near Campus II. The university describes study and communal areas and 24-hour security, but it does not publish current room prices or guarantee availability on the cited page. Private boarding houses are also common in Grogol, Tomang, Tanjung Duren, and Tawakal. Students should compare contracts, security, commuting time, and total monthly costs before choosing accommodation.

Location & Surroundings

Untar is located on Jalan Letjen S. Parman in Grogol, West Jakarta. The university reports that the Grogol 2 TransJakarta stop is approximately 100 metres away and Grogol commuter-rail station approximately 700 metres away. Feeder buses and JakLingko services also operate in the area. These connections can be useful for commuting, though journey times in Jakarta vary substantially with congestion and transfers. The surrounding district is highly urban, with hospitals, apartments, shops, restaurants, banks, and several large malls nearby. Sumber Waras Hospital and Royal Taruma Hospital are among the medical facilities identified by the university, while Central Park, Taman Anggrek, Neo Soho, and Ciputra are prominent commercial destinations in the wider area. This location suits students who want access to the professional and cultural opportunities of Indonesia’s capital region. It also requires realistic budgeting for housing, food, and transport. Students choosing between Campus I, Campus II, Untar Residence, or private accommodation should confirm where their program’s classes and laboratories are held before signing a lease.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For 2026/2027 undergraduate entry, Untar uses several fee components. SPP is a one-time program-specific charge payable after an applicant passes selection. BPP is an education-delivery fee, while most non-medical programs also charge by semester credit. The published first-semester totals exclude SPP. For the listed non-medical programs, those first-semester totals range from IDR 15.1 million to IDR 21.5 million, based on 20 credits. Their published one-time SPP charges range from IDR 17 million to IDR 45 million. Medical education is substantially more expensive: the flyer lists IDR 400 million for SPP and IDR 41.5 million for semester one. The professional doctor-stage fee had not yet been determined in that publication. Later-semester costs for most programs equal BPP plus the per-credit charge, with the credit load influenced by academic performance. The flyer says SPP, BPP, and credit fees may be paid in full or by instalments. These figures do not include housing, food, transport, equipment, or personal expenses, and no current residence price is published in the cited housing announcement. Career support is provided through Untar Career under Student and Alumni Affairs. Its 2026 activities included campus hiring, job and internship fairs, employer sessions, career consultations, company visits, CV review, interview preparation, and recruitment simulations. These services create access to employers but do not guarantee placement, salary, or a particular career outcome.
