Indonesia enacted the new law which encourages the entrance of foreign universities

13 Jul 2012

On 12 July 2012, Indonesia’s parliament adopted the Higher Education Law, which allows foreign universities to acquire accreditation to operate in Indonesia. According to the Law, foreign providers must be non-profit and can only set up campuses in cooperation with an Indonesian university. The Law also regulates how universities are run and courses are accredited. Ministerial regulations will define where foreign universities will be allowed to set up, which programmes they are allowed to offer; priority would be given to disciplines uncommon at Indonesian universities because they require significant investment or skills.
