testimonial
Brett Hollis, USA – MM Professional in Business Management
Pursuing my master’s at BINUS University was more than just an academic choice—it was a journey of personal and professional growth. From the start, I felt genuinely welcomed, thanks to the international recruitment team—especially Valent Farisa—and the continued support from student services.
BINUS fosters an environment where students are encouraged to engage not just with academics, but also with Jakarta’s dynamic business and cultural life. The flexible class schedule made it possible to balance work and study, a shared experience among many of my classmates.
One of the most enriching aspects was the cultural diversity in our cohort, with students from five continents. BINUS embraced our differences, turning them into strengths that fueled meaningful discussions and broadened our global outlook.
As a finance graduate, I found fresh value in the coursework—especially through professors like Dr. Jimmy Sadeli and Dr. Ario Setiadi, who brought real-world insight into every lecture. My thesis journey with Dr. Jerry S. Justianto, alongside my brilliant partner Nanda Angelina, was an unforgettable collaboration that taught me the value of critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity.
Living and learning in Indonesia changed the way I see the world. I leave BINUS not just with a degree, but with lifelong friendships, meaningful lessons, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I’m proud to be a BINUSIAN and forever grateful to those who made my time here not only possible but unforgettable.
Fabio S. Espinoza, Peru – MM Professional in Business Management
“What has my time at BINUS University been like?”
It’s hard to sum up such an unforgettable journey filled with growth, learning, and meaningful connections.
From day one, I found myself surrounded by people who made the experience truly meaningful, especially my classmates who became close friends through shared laughter, late-night study sessions, and those little everyday moments that now feel unforgettable.
Academically?
BINUS gave me exactly what I needed—even more. Coming from a non-business background, transitioning into a curriculum focused on business, accounting, and finance was not easy. It was intimidating at first. But BINUS never left me behind. At first, I felt overwhelmed, but with the guidance of my lecturers and the support of BINUSMAYA’s resources, I gradually found my rhythm and gained confidence in the process.
But my growth did not stop in the classroom.
I was pushed, encouraged, and inspired to try new things to take on leadership roles, join projects, and speak up in spaces I used to shy away from. Looking back, I see how much that helped me grow into someone more capable and self-assured.
And if you ask me what I’ll miss most?
The community.
The most treasured part of my journey at BINUS is the friendships I have made. The people I met here have become more than just classmates since they have become lifelong friends who have supported, challenged, and inspired me.
BINUS University will always hold a special place in my heart for the incredible experiences and personal growth it fostered. I’m proud to be a part of this community.
Daniel Jacobs – An Exchange Student from Netherlands
“Reflected on the striking differences i observed between Indonesia and my home country, how the cultural, social, and environmental contrasts between the two places have left a lasting impression on me. From the diverse traditions and lifestyles to the unique landscapes and bustling city life, I found myself continuously amazed by how distinct Indonesia is compared to the familiar comforts of home. My experience has offered me a deeper understanding of global diversity and has expanded his perspective on the world.”
Taiyo Kakikawa – Exchange Student from Japan
“I made so many new friends, and after class, we would often go out for dinner or travel to different places together. The social aspect of the program was just as enriching as the academic experience!”
Fabio S. Espinoza, Peru – MM Professional Business Management’ 23
“I feel very blessed to be accepted for the second BINUS World Class Scholarship and get another chance to live through the BINUSIAN experience again! Seeing the bright and friendly faculty members again is very heartwarming. I have gained unforgettable memories from BINUS through all the events they offer, such as participating in the RECTOR Cup for Basketball, swimming and laughing with all my friends at the luxurious BINUS Square and going on a trip to ride ATV in Bandung with the BINUS Square staffs was such a thrill. Lastly, the professional skills and projects I have accomplished during the bachelor’s program have landed me many offers from recruiters. I can’t wait to see what comes out of my second experience in BINUS, and I am very grateful for the opportunity!”

“Joining Binus has allowed me to improve myself in so many different aspects. Their academic curriculums are tailored to improve one’s technical and practical skills, through the provision of adequate facilities and resources. There are a lot of extra-curricular activities for students that i think are also important.

Mey, Cambodia – Fashion Design 2019 at BNSD
“People said “You will never know until you try”. I am glad I chose Binus Northumbria School of Design as well as fashion design as my university’s major. Being a fashion design student at BNSD, I became more creative, determined and passionate about what I am learning. BNSD taught me to think critically and precisely while developing a collection. Meanwhile, I am also able to make new friends from different countries with cultures and languages which make my life in Indonesia more memorable and fun. Thank you Binus for taking a good care of me not only academically but also mentally and physically.”

Deth, Cambodia – Computer Science 2019 at BI
“I’ve always been interested in I.T. and computers. BINUS UNIVERSITY happens to be well-known for its Computer Science program. The support team and the faculty members have been very supportive in making my final decision to come to study in Indonesia – and it has been one of the best decision I’ve made as they continue to support me during my study days. The lecturers’ doors are always open and they are always ready to help. I am now a teaching assistant and it has been an enriching experience for me. All the experiences BINUS offered prepared me for more adventures ahead, and I especially looking forward to my double degree year at the University of Nottingham, UK, next September! P.S.: I am lucky enough to receive the BINUS World Class Scholarship where my tuition fees, accommodation, and much more are paid for. Thank you BINUS for helping me achieve my dream!”

“I knew right away that this was an opportunity I couldn’t miss when I received the chance to study for a semester at Taylor’s University in Malaysia. The international diversity, strong academic culture, and dynamic student community encouraged me to explore beyond my initial field of study.
I had the opportunity to explore Mass Communication, where I could dive into Digital Media Production, an area that resonated deeply with my interests. The classes emphasized practical understanding, which strengthened my confidence and broadened my skills, making me feel that every BINUSIAN deserves a global journey like this!”

Aynun Mardiyah – Study Abroad Experience at Hannam University
“Studying abroad for one semester at Hannam University in South Korea gave me countless new learning experiences. Inside the classroom, every professor had a unique way of making lessons engaging, and open discussions both during and after class that helped me learn even more. I also joined an additional Korean language class, which made daily communication easier, and having a campus buddy really helped me adapt quickly to my new environment.
My experiences outside the classroom were just as exciting. As part of the ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) program, I joined field trips to various cities and cultural sites across Korea, allowing me to experience the country’s traditions firsthand while building friendships with fellow awardees from different countries. These moments made my study-abroad journey exciting and unforgettable.”
