History

Our University, Faculty, and Study Program

Universitas Multimedia Nusantara was founded by Kompas Gramedia Group (KGG), a leading Indonesian media group, as a contribution to the nation to enlighten the people. In 2007, UMN started the operation with four faculties and seven undergraduate programs. UMN sets the vision to become a leading university in the fields of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at the national and international level, which produces graduates that are internationally-minded and highly competent in their field with an entrepreneurial spirit and virtuous character. The mission is to participate in educating the society and to promote the welfare of the nation through higher education by implementing Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Teaching, Research, and Community Outreach), to improve the quality of human resources of Indonesia.

In 2007, the UMN campus began operations at Wisma BNI 46, in the capital city Jakarta. In August 2008, the campus operation was moved to Plaza Summarecon building in Gading Serpong, near to the location where the campus complex later occupied. On August 24, 2009, UMN occupies a new campus in 8 hectares area located in Scientia Garden, Boulevard Gading Serpong, Tangerang.

In 2012, the campus continued to grow with the completion of a new building named New Media Tower. The New Media Tower carries the concept of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. This 12-story building is used for canteens, public spaces, galleries, lecture theaters, laboratories, classrooms, business incubators, and some working spaces with the industry.

On September 27, 2017, a new 19-story building completed and inaugurated as P.K. Ojong – Jakob Oetama Tower. The building can accommodate lecture activities for up to 5000 students. Equipped with a variety of new facilities beside classrooms, such as Lecture Theatre Hall with a capacity of 500 people, the latest computer & architecture laboratories, hospitality laboratories and indoor sports fields on the top of the building. UMN formulated and developed the specific educational objectives in accordance with the vision and missions of the university and its faculty.

History

Our Visual Communication Design Study Program

VCD study program is held based on the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education No. 3299/D/T/K-III/2009 on August 28, 2009, with a Bachelor level education program. The VCD program began accepting and administering the first batch of students in the odd semester of the 2007/2008 academic year. The VCD study program is accredited A based on the National Accreditation Board Decree number 13626/SK/BAN-PT/Ak-PPJ/S/XII/2021 with a validity period until December 28, 2026.

Initially, there were 4 majors in the VCD-SP; Graphic Design, Interactive Media Design, Cinematography, and Animation. In 2016, Digital Cinematography and Animation Major separated from the VCD-SP and became their own study program called a Film study program following the Faculty development plan. Therefore the basis of the curriculum component formed with 4 majors is less relevant for the two majors remaining in VCD-SP (Graphic Design, and Interactive Media Design). Following the event of separation, an initial evaluation team of the VCD study program was formed by the Head of VCD-SP 2015 with assignment task No. 15/T/Head of Study Program-DKV/VIII / 2015. Based on all stages of evaluation and minutes that have been carried out by the evaluation team, a curriculum team then formed by the Dean of the Faculty of Art and Design with assignment task No: 056/T/Dean-FSD/X/2015 to design a new curriculum implemented in the 2018/2019 academic year. This new curriculum changes two majors remaining into Visual Brand Design and Interaction Design.

Following the event of separation, an initial evaluation team of the VCD program was formed by the Head of VCD program in 2015 with assignment task No. 15/T/Head of Study Program-DKV/VIII / 2015 to establish the new VCD department and curricula. The VCD program vision and mission is derived from the University and Faculty as described on our Vision & Mission page.
