Should an applicant receive an offer of admission, the university
becomes the facilitator or sponsor of the applicant during the study
periods in Indonesia. Then we will request the applicant’s study permit
to the Ministry of National Education in Indonesia. After the study
permit has been issued, UGM will assist you to get a limited stay visa
(VITAS) for 12 months; issued through the nearest Indonesian
Embassy/Consulate in your country.
It will take at least three/four months to arrange the study permit and visa.
We strongly suggest you only leave Indonesia only with this kind of
visa (VITAS). Do not ever try to use another visa such as Cultural
Social Visiting Visa (VKSB) or you will have to go to Immigration
office every month for extension and have to leave Indonesia after six
months to get a new visa.
The first semester begins in the first week of September and the second semester from February
The medium of instruction is the Indonesian language,
except Medical Faculty and Economics Faculty. They have International
Program that uses English as the medium of instruction.
