Singaraja- Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha), as a relatively young university, continues to show its work at the national level and has successfully earned several proud achievements. In 2022, the achievements were not only in the form of student achievement but also related to institutional management, both in the field of academics and cooperation, planning and finance, as well as student affairs.

Based on data on the achievement of IKU in 2021, Undiksha was ranked 8th out of 33 PTN Badan Layanan Umum.

The next achievement was to successfully receive four awards in the 2022 Diktiristek Award organized by the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology (Diktiristek).

This achievement is a representation of improvements made together in harmony towards the implementation of various programs that are expected to increase the competitiveness of the university.
Hopefully, this achievement in 2022 can be used as motivation and encouragement by the academic community to work better in the future to realize Undiksha’s goals. In 2023, according to a mutual agreement, Undiksha is desired to become an International Reputable University in Education and Leadership (IRUEL). “If we have agreed then let’s design our activity program and budget to achieve Undiksha as an Internationally Reputable University in Education and Leadership and we have designed this,” he said, Friday (30/12/2022).
In realizing these goals, strategic steps are needed. Programs designed and implemented by the university down to the study program level are encouraged to be international, both in the fields of education and teaching, research, and community service. “I have an idea and later we might be able to implement it. Undiksha will form a consortium of universities in the field of educational studies, namely with universities in Australia, in Korea, France, and even Japan. These five universities will form a consortium automatically we don’t need to say much and will be recognized internationally. That’s the idea to achieve what we set out to do,” he said.
Through international programs, it is expected to accelerate the realization of Undiksha’s vision “To Become a Leading University Based on the Philosophy of Tri Hita Karana in Asia by 2045”. (hms)
