Our students in Surabaya will receive an outstanding international higher education experience, benefiting from adaptable study options, access to state-of-the-art facilities and the support of highly experienced, world class academics from both Australia and Indonesia. The curriculum offered will prepare students for today's world. We work with our community, business partners and industry leaders to develop program content that meets the needs of employers and the jobs of the future, and which responds to the challenges of a global workplace.
A key focus will be courses tailored to employers, building on Western Sydney University’s world-leading partnership approach to higher education with businesses. There will be a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, including computing, data, and engineering to reflect the economic and industrial strengths of Surabaya and East Java.
The degrees awarded by Western Sydney University will be fully quality-assured and recognized in Australia as well as being Indonesian Sarjana equivalent. On completion of an undergraduate course, students will graduate with a Western Sydney University degree.
Launch Pad
To help foster a vibrant entrepreneurial culture and start-up ecosystem in Surabaya and East Java, Western Sydney University’s Launch Pad will expand into the new Surabaya Campus.
Launch Pad, at the Western Sydney University Indonesia, Surabaya Campus, will offer:
- Startup Programs, developing resilient founders, who create sustainable and innovative businesses, that meaningfully impact society and community.
- Industry short courses, expanding entrepreneurial and commercialisation skills in partnership with world-leading experts and industry partners.
- Entrepreneurship Training and Development, an innovative approach to training the next generation of high-impact entrepreneurs through a range of programs and activities, including student hackathons to develop practical skills in entrepreneurship.
Learning Spaces
Our Surabaya Campus will offer technology-rich environments that support high levels of interactivity and engagement.
Purpose-built learning spaces and designated skills labs will support students in gaining practical knowledge and experience. These specialist learning spaces will be adaptable and reconfigurable, to fill a multi-function role as general teaching spaces. This will ensure efficient space utilisation.
Students will have access to social and shared spaces where they can study, collaborate, and mingle with their peers. We will utilise agile workspaces, open-plan design, and flexible meeting spaces.
