International Undergraduate Program

ITB International Undergraduate Program is an educational program that requires students to be active in various global academic activities. Students taking part in this program will experience the atmosphere of international education. In addition, Undergraduate International Program is part of ITB’s efforts to serve prospective Indonesian students from non-national curriculum high schools. It is hoped that this broader service will provide good opportunities for Indonesian citizens abroad to study at ITB.

ITB International Undergraduate Program is open for both Indonesian and foreign citizenships students. Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) will accept new students for this program through ITB International Class.

Learning System Overview

ITB International Undergraduate Program aims to provide each student with an academic experience of international quality. Since the curriculum is specifically designed to enable students to compete globally in various fields, all students must do a minimum of 1 semester of outbound exchange at their own expense to various ITB partner universities abroad. As a result, they will get the best learning experience at world-class universities and build a global network that could provide significant benefits upon graduation. For all academic activities in the International Class, the language of instruction is entirely in English.
