What is Universitas Mercu Buana (mercubuana.ac.id)?

Updated

Universitas Mercu Buana (mercubuana.ac.id) is a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia, founded in 1985 under the guidance of the Menara Bhakti Foundation. It organizes the three pillars of higher education (Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi): education, research, and community service. The site is the university's official portal for prospective students, current students, and alumni to check programs, campus news, facilities, and institutional credentials.

What the site covers

The homepage navigation groups content into a few clear areas:

  • Profil Universitas – institutional background and leadership (including a welcome message from Rector Prof. Dr. Ir. Andi Adriansyah, M.Eng)
  • Akademik – academic information
  • Fakultas / Biro / Unit / Lembaga – faculties, bureaus, units, and institutes
  • Penjaminan Mutu – quality assurance
  • Kabar Kampus – campus news
  • Fasilitas – facilities
  • Hasil Pelacakan Alumni – alumni tracer results
  • Satgas PPK UMB, K3LK, Sustainability – campus task forces and sustainability

Class programs listed on the site

The site presents three study-class options, each with a short description:

Class Description (per site)
Kelas Internasional Studying alongside international students, creating new connections and international opportunities
Kelas Reguler 2 Flexible lecture schedules for working professionals
Kelas Reguler An inclusive learning environment for students developing toward professional careers

The site invites visitors to "check which class programs are available," so the specific list of programs should be confirmed on the relevant academic page rather than assumed from the homepage.

Recognition and rankings shown

The site highlights the following institutional markers:

  • Akreditasi Unggul (listed as a key fact)
  • 24,000+ alumni
  • World University Ranking (WUR): rank 2 in DKI Jakarta, rank 7 nationally
  • Scimago: rank 2 in DKI Jakarta, rank 10 nationally
  • Webometrics: rank 2 among private universities (PTS) in Jakarta, rank 9 among PTS in Indonesia, rank 45 across all public and private universities nationally

These figures are as presented by the university itself; treat them as institutional claims rather than independently verified data.

Accountability and certification documents

The site publishes several certificates for public viewing:

  • Library certificate (2024)
  • ISO K3 certificate
  • Tipologi 1 certificate
  • Information Security Management System certificate (for Universitas Mercu Buana, Yayasan Menara Bhakti)

Each has a "Lihat Detail" (view detail) link on the site.

Student life and alumni

A Kemahasiswaan (student affairs) section links to student achievements, student activities, scholarships, and student organizations. A testimonials section collects alumni impressions of the university.

When this page is useful

Use mercubuana.ac.id if you want to confirm the university's founding and legal status, compare its class formats (international, regular, and regular-2 for professionals), review its stated rankings and accreditation, or find official contact points for faculties and units. For admission requirements, tuition, and deadlines, go directly to the academic or admission pages linked from the site — the homepage does not state pricing or entry requirements.
