Rooted in aLegacy of Progress
For nearly a century, Nahdlatul Ulama has been a force for progress across Indonesia and beyond.
With 148 million members spanning 50+ countries, NU has consistently demonstrated its commitment to building a better Indonesia through education, social empowerment, and inclusive development.
Today, this heritage empowers UNU Yogyakarta to serve as more than just another university.
We are the educational arm of a movement that has shaped modern Indonesia—and we're using that foundation to shape its future.
Where We Stand Apart
While most Nahdlatul Ulama Universities in Indonesia focus on producing politicians, academics, and religious scholars, we've charted a different course.
UNU Yogyakarta is laser-focused on producing professionals, entrepreneurs, and innovators who can thrive in tomorrow's economy.

Everything we do is guided by one ambitious goal: "Becoming The Leading Professional Hub and Future-Oriented University."
We're not waiting for the future to arrive—we're building it through our 5 GO Strategy:

Pioneering new educational approaches
Go— Digital
Embracing technology as an enabler, not just a tool
Go— Collaborative
Building partnerships that amplify impact

This strategy isn't just a plan on paper—it's our daily practice, embedded in everything from our curriculum design to our international programs.
The RoadWe're Traveling
Our transformation journey is deliberate and strategic, unfolding in carefully planned stages:
Accelerate New Business Processes (Quick Win)
We started by redefining our internal strategies and building the coalition needed for change. Through capacity building, flagship program launches, and strategic rebranding, we established UNU Yogyakarta as a university that thinks differently.
Achievement and Increasing Targets (Scale Up)
Now we're developing robust management systems and enhancing our academic quality assurance. We continue expanding our capacity while launching groundbreaking programs that set new standards for professional education.
Continuous Maintenance (Scale Out)
We're developing new business models and strengthening our position both nationally and globally. Our focus remains on innovation, building programs that anticipate industry needs rather than just respond to them.
The Leading Professional Hub
Our destination is clear: becoming the go-to institution where industry meets academia, where traditional wisdom meets innovation, and where Indonesia's brightest minds prepare to lead in an ever-changing world.
Why This Matters
In a rapidly evolving global economy, Indonesia needs professionals who can navigate complexity, lead with integrity, and innovate with purpose.
That's exactly what we're building at UNU Yogyakarta—not just graduates, but game-changers.
The future doesn't need more of the same—it needs leaders who can bridge worlds, solve complex problems, and create opportunities where none existed before.
