Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) invites prospective international students to pursue bachelor, master, and doctoral degree programs at UNS through self-funding and the UNS Scholarship scheme.
All academic members agreed to light up the spirit of UNS BISA (UNS CAN) (Implementing UNS ACTIVE Work Culture: Internationalization, Synergy, Acceleration, to achieve World Class University) to achieve the Vision, Missions, and Goals.
Since its inception in 1976, UNS has experienced diverse dynamics and has made numerous attempts to become a well-recognized university. They have continuously carried out various programs, policies, and activities to deal with rapid, dynamic, interdependent, and complex global changes. UNS is one of the best universities in Indonesia and strengthens its steps towards World Class University (WCU). Several notable accomplishments demonstrate this at the national and international levels. Various efforts have been made to improve UNS’s capacity as an autonomous, accountable, and competitive university, culminating in recognizing UNS as a Public Service Institution (Badan Layanan Umum – BLU) University on February 27, 2009.
Implementing a work culture of “UNS ACTIVE” is one of the fundamental steps taken to achieve an excellent corporate university:
Achievement orientation: The ability to work well and exceed the achievement standard set, to become result-oriented and to strive for excellence continuously.
Customer’s satisfaction: The ability to help or serve others or meet the needs of service users, either internally or externally.
Team-work: The ability to collaborate with others in the institution, whether in a large or small group.
Integrity: The ability to describe an intention, idea, or feeling and turn it into an action based on sincerity, loyalty, responsibility, and a solid commitment to the organization’s progress following the UNS’ vision and missions.
Visionary: The ability to set a new goal after achieving the previous one and have a long-term perspective, including adapting to environmental changes and readily accepting changes in the institution.
Entrepreneurship: The ability to manage resources into products and services with added values and generate benefit/excellence from the opportunities that others have not developed.
