Gadjah Mada University........Indonesia

Gadjah Mada University

The Gadjah Mada University (Indonesian: Universitas Gadjah Mada or UGM) is the largest university in Indonesia in terms of student population.^[1] It is also one of the oldest universities in the country, founded on December 19, 1949; although the first lecture was given on 13 March 1946. The name was taken from the name of Majapahit's Prime Minister, Gajah Mada.

UGM is also the oldest and largest university in Indonesia. It was founded in 1949 and currently has 18 faculties, 71 undergraduate study programs, 28 diploma study programmes and Graduate Schools including 62 study programmes. The total student population is around 55000, and the number of lecturers is 2266.

When founded, UGM had 6 faculties: the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy, the Faculty of Law, Social and Political Sciences, the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Letters, Pedagogy, and Philosophy, the Faculty of Agriculture, and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.From 1952 until 1972 the Faculty of Medicine was split into two separate faculties, the Surabaya branch of the Faculty of Law, Social, and Political Sciences was established, and the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training was integrated into IKIP Yogyakarta.During its initial years, the University used the buildings and other facilities belonging to the Kraton of Yogyakarta (sultan Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX's palace). The university gradually established a campus of its own in Bulaksumur. The university is now has an area of 3 square kilometres.

In 2007, UGM ranked number 360 on Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings 2007, the highest rank for university in Indonesia.Webometrics Ranking of World Universities July 2007 placed UGM on rank 939 in the world, and rank 95 in Asia.

Long Time No See.....

I guess I missed any information to share for KAMPOENG. I really sorry because until this day, I always busy with my duty as college student. For your knowledge, I still study at Gadjah Mada University at Jogjakarta. Gadjah Mada University (GMU) is maybe the top of university at Indonesia but at Asia, GMU's rank always on the lowest rank. The quality of education at Indonesia still questionable. Are we ready to set at global challenge. For now, just can say no. With my humble opinion, Indonesia need study more from progressive country, especcially at Asia, like Singapore, Vietnam, China, India, even Iran.

It's my dream to make our country, Indonesia step froward but never left behind traditional and nature value. Such as, the self-reliable people, more conservation of forest, and spread out the diversity of culture of Indonesia's people. And that's will be KAMPOENG's vision and mission. In additional news, I personally shocked with many of visitor of KAMPOENG blog. That's mean world always care with small act with big dream. Thank you for all your support and concern.
