About President University

Where Tomorrow's Leaders Come Together

President University is a higher education institution in Indonesia which was established to become a research and development center in the region and to set a new benchmark in Indonesian higher education. Specifically, the university is prepared to create an institution of learning which would prepare future leaders of industry and society by giving them the skills and experience necessary to excel upon graduation. According to President University’s founder, Mr. Setyono Djuandi Darmono, President University was built for two reasons; to become a research and development center and to set a new benchmark in Indonesian higher education.
