CAMPUS BEYOND, A

A Campus Beyond traces how a university was born from the courage to think differently and to act beyond convention, and how it has grown into an international institution firmly rooted in Indonesia. Through a range of distinctive features that define its identity-such as the use of English as the medium of instruction across all academic activities, a full-year internship program, a two-semester Economic Survival course, and the requirement for first-year students and international students to live on campus-the book offers valuable lessons on innovation, leadership, and the courage to keep evolving.

Written in a flowing narrative style, A Campus Beyond is not merely the story of a university's founding, but also a reflection on a new direction in higher education-one that dares to move beyond convention, think across disciplines, and focus on real-world solutions. As noted by the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, "This book inspires us all-educators, students, and future leaders-to continue daring to dream and to work hard toward one shared goal: making education a source of progress, self-reliance, and national dignity."

This book serves as a mirror of a university's ongoing journey to push boundaries and open new horizons for a model of higher education that is increasingly relevant to the demands of both the present and the future.

This is the story of President University, born from the bold vision of Dr. (HC) Setyono Djuandi Darmono and its fellow founders.
