Dutch Occupation Period (1849-1946)
The Dutch Colonial Government in 1849 built a high school of health sciences. In January 1851 the school was officially named as Dokter-Djawa School. This high school specializes in medical science, precisely the education of paramedics. After having undergone a change of name in the late 19th century, precisely in 1898, the name Doctor-Djawa School changed into a tot School of Opleiding van Indische Artsen (School of Medicine for Indigenous Doctors) or also known as STOVIA. For 75 years STOVIA functioned as the best place of education for prospective doctors in Indonesia, before closing in 1927. However, a Medical School was later built together with four other high schools in several cities in Java.
The high school is Technische Hoogeschool te Bandoeng (Faculty of Engineering) which was established in Bandung in 1920, Recht Hoogeschool (Faculty of Law) in Batavia in 1924, Faculteit der Letteren en Wijsbegeerte (Faculty of Literature and Humanity) in Batavia in 1940, and a year later it was built Faculteit van Landbouwweteschap (Faculty of Agriculture) in Bogor. The five high schools are the pillars in creating the Nood-universiteit (Emergency University), which was built in 1946.
Age of Independence (1947-1960)
Nood-universiteit was renamed Universiteit van Indonesië in 1947 and based in Jakarta. Some nationalist professors, one of whom is Prof. Mr. Djokosoetono, continued its function as instructor for Universiteit van Indonesië in Yogyakarta, which was then the capital of the country.
The Indonesian capital then returned to Jakarta in 1949 after the Dutch recognized the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia. Universiteit van Indonesië Yogyakarta also moved to Jakarta again.
Universiteit van Indonesië was later incorporated into "Universiteit Indonesia" in 1950. The University has a Faculty of Medicine, Law, Literature and Philosophy in Jakarta, the Faculty of Engineering is located in Bandung, Faculty of Agriculture in Bogor, Faculty of Dentistry in Surabaya, and Faculty of Economics are in Makassar .
Faculties outside Jakarta then developed into separate universities between 1954-1963. The University of Indonesia in Jakarta has a campus in Salemba and consists of several faculties such as: Medicine, Dentistry, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Literature, Law, Economics, and Engineering.
In the next development stand the Faculty of Psychology, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Public Health, Computer Science and then the Faculty of Nursing.
Modern Age (1970s-present)
Before the University of Indonesia campus in Depok was built in 1987, the University of Indonesia had three campus locations, namely in Salemba, Pegangsaan Timur and Rawamangun. After the new campus was established on 320 hectares of land in Depok, the Rawamangun campus which included several faculties was moved, while the Salemba campus was still maintained for the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Dentistry and the Postgraduate Program.
Shortly after 2000, University of Indonesia became one of the few universities that had the status of a State-Owned Legal Entity in Indonesia. This change in status has brought a significant change to the University of Indonesia, namely greater autonomy in academic development and financial management.
From this historical perspective, the University of Indonesia has grown progressively into an institution that leads to be a leader in the field of humanity and civilization by balancing academic values, morality and art. Through these advantages, the University of Indonesia intends to produce the Indonesian nation into a more prosperous and democratic society, focusing on peace, justice and strong environmental values.
In the reform era, the government considered UI had sufficient management capabilities to gain independence, autonomy, and greater responsibility in acting as a moral force that supports national development. Based on this, the government issues PP No. 152/2000 which stipulates University of Indonesia as a State-Owned Legal Entity (BHMN). During the implementation of UI as a BHMN, the government issued several important policies such as Law No. 20/2003 concerning the National Education System and PP No. 19/2005 concerning National Education Standards which in some aspects have not fully supported the smooth running of UI as a BHMN.
In the last ten years, the dynamics of internal and external developments surrounding the UI have had a profound effect on the ups and downs of UI conditions. Among these are, the government passed Law No. 12/2012 on Higher Education which later became a shade for the status of UI law. According to the Law, BHMN Colleges and BHMN Universities that have been transformed into Universities organized by the Government with the pattern of financial management of Public Service Agencies, are designated as Legal Entity Colleges (PTN-BH). The enactment of the Law, especially article 66 paragraph (2), has led to the stipulation by the government PP No. 68/2013 concerning the Statute of the University of Indonesia (Statute of the UI).
The UI currently consists of 13 Faculties, Post Graduate Programs and Vocational Programs. The thirteen faculties are the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Engineering, Psychology, Social and Political Sciences, Law, Economics, Public Health, Cultural Sciences, Computer Science. The study programs at UI currently number 291 study programs, with a total of 47,166 students and 309 foreign students taking both degree and non-degree programs
