Student Life & Environment

Student life at Lippo Village includes formal representation, clubs, activities, sports, faith-based formation, and residential options. UPH’s Student Representative Council serves as the university-level legislative body, while the Student Executive Board plans activities and responds to student concerns under that representative structure. The university also runs an ambassador program and organizes orientation activities intended to introduce new students to organizations, services, and campus resources. Housing is available through UPH Residences, but room configuration and eligibility vary. The official residence page describes two-person premium rooms as well as larger shared-room formats, with listed features that can include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, study furniture, bathrooms, security, and communal space. Some residence categories are expressly designed for UPH College students rather than regular university students, so degree applicants should confirm which buildings they can use, current prices, meal arrangements, rules, and availability directly with the residence office. The university’s Christian identity shapes campus culture and residence programming. Students should expect worship, fellowship, mentoring, service, and character-development activities to be visible parts of university life. At the same time, clubs and organized activities provide routes into arts, media, culture, leadership, and sport. International students can use these settings to build a local network, but should review the current student handbook and residence rules before arrival, particularly where religious participation, conduct, guests, or communal living expectations may affect daily life.

Location & Surroundings

The record’s principal location is the Lippo Village campus at Jl. M.H. Thamrin Boulevard 1100, Tangerang 15811, Indonesia. Tangerang lies within the wider Jakarta metropolitan region, giving students access to a large urban economy while placing the campus outside central Jakarta. The residence page describes dining and shopping destinations within minutes of the campus, which can reduce the need for long trips for routine needs. Location must be checked alongside the chosen program. UPH publicizes several teaching sites, and a graduate or specialist course may not be delivered at Lippo Village. Students should obtain written confirmation of the campus and class schedule before arranging housing or transport. This is particularly important where a program uses the Semanggi site in Jakarta or another UPH location. Students relocating to Tangerang should compare on-campus housing with private accommodation in Lippo Village and budget separately for commuting, meals, and travel. The official sources reviewed do not provide a dependable current estimate for those living costs or journey times to central Jakarta and airports, so applicants should investigate them using their likely timetable and transport preferences rather than relying on a generic metropolitan estimate.

Costs & Career Outcomes

UPH’s fees are program-specific rather than a single university-wide tuition figure. The official 2026/2027 College of Health Sciences schedule illustrates the variation: its published total fee estimates differ across pharmacy, psychology, biotechnology, medicine, dentistry, and medical laboratory technology. Charges can be divided into admission, semester, credit, tuition, facilities, orientation, uniform, or student-service components depending on the program. The schedule states that its figures exclude thesis, graduation, and extended-semester charges, and that the payment simulation assumes a normal study period. It was marked valid until August 2026, so students applying after that point must request a newly issued quotation. The undergraduate application page lists a form fee of IDR 400,000. It also discusses scholarships that can cover admission, semester, and credit fees under stated conditions, but applicants should verify the award period, academic-maintenance requirements, exclusions, and whether a particular scholarship is open for their 2026/2027 intake. Residence, food, transport, equipment, insurance, and immigration expenses should be budgeted separately unless a written offer explicitly includes them. For career development, UPH maintains a Career Center serving students and alumni. Its April 2026 Career Expo brought more than 25 companies from different industries to present internship and full-time opportunities and meet candidates. That is evidence of an active employer-engagement service, not a guarantee of placement or salary. No sufficiently current, independently verified graduate-employment rate or salary outcome was found, so applicants should ask their chosen program for recent destination data, internship arrangements, professional licensing outcomes, and the employers or sectors actually relevant to that field.
