Indonesia's higher education system

Indonesia's higher education accreditation is managed by BAN-PT (National Accreditation Board for Higher Education). Indonesia has over 4,500 higher education institutions, including University of Indonesia (UI), Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Gadjah Mada University (UGM), and Airlangga University. Indonesia's massive higher education system serves over 250 million people across 17,000 islands.

Verification steps

  1. Check BAN-PT accreditation — Verify the institution has BAN-PT accreditation. VerifyED includes accredited Indonesian institutions.
  2. DIKTI verification — The Directorate General of Higher Education (DIKTI) maintains a degree verification database.
  3. Contact the institution — Indonesian universities maintain registrar offices for verification.
  4. Document legalization — Documents need legalization through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Key considerations

  • BAN-PT grades — BAN-PT assigns accreditation grades (A, B, C). Grade A indicates the highest quality.
  • Indonesian-language credentials — Credentials are in Bahasa Indonesia. English translations available at major universities.
  • Large system — With 4,500+ institutions, verifying the specific institution's accreditation status is critical.
