Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia Opens Doors

In September 2024 a new University opens its doors in the thriving education hub of Bandung, West Java. Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia is an innovative education partnership between two globally ranked universities that will offer new higher education opportunities to students from across Indonesia and around the world.

This is not just any University. Through Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia, students will be able to obtain a dual degree – one bachelor’s degree from Deakin University in Australia and one bachelor’s degree from Lancaster University in the UK – in up to just four years of study.

All courses offered by Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia have obtained approval of the Indonesian Government and are equivalent to a Sarjana degree from a local Indonesian university.

“This is a unique opportunity for Indonesian students to obtain world-class qualifications from two globally ranked universities, while enjoying the many benefits of living and working close to home, supported by their families and friends,” said the Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia Chief Operating Officer, Prana Sudhana.

Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia will initially offer five undergraduate programs in the areas of Business and Information Technology (see below). Students will have multiple entry points to the dual-award bachelor degree programs, including direct entry, or through foundation studies that prepare them for entry into their first year of degree study.

Academic English courses are also available from April 2025 to prepare students for successful undergraduate study. “Deakin University and Lancaster University both rank among the top 1% of universities globally,” said Mr Sudhana. “With extensive experience in two-way exchanges, study tours, and work-integrated learning, these institutions also provide a unique opportunity for students to study abroad for a semester at either or both universities in Australia and the UK”.
“Graduates will earn highly respected qualifications that pave the way for global career success, along with exceptional student experiences that support their personal and professional growth.”

The Deakin University Lancaster University Indonesia campus will be centrally located in a vibrant part of Bandung, approximately one hour by high-speed train from Jakarta. Work is currently underway to transform the building into a world-class university for students and staff.
