Being more than four decades of age, UNS continues to strive and stand to answer the enchanted mandate: to elevate the nation's intellectual life. Various activities have been carried out, and many accomplishments have been achieved. UNS has grown and developed into one of the outstanding universities in Indonesia. Furthermore, UNS is on its way to developing as a leading university in education, research, and community services, both at the national level—in line with the earlier developed colleges— and the international level as a competent institution to act autonomously as a world-class university. Currently, UNS is continually developing itself to compete in acceleration development programs in the field of access for equity and expansion, improvement of quality, relevance, and competitiveness, and improvement of governance, accountability, and public image. The efforts to develop UNS to be an eminent university at the international level and advanced in science, technology, and art as mandated in UNS Vision and Mission, brings a big challenge and responsibility, particularly in building mutual commitments, which are: promoting the quality and being professional, effective and efficient. Various programs, policies, and activities have been continuously conducted to face the challenges of the rapid, dynamic, interdependent, and complex global change. We realize that the future challenges will be more complicated yet challenging as the development of higher education cannot be separated from the rapid development of the world's economy, science, technology, art, and culture. Those changes will eventually demand our graduates to possess reliable and competitive competencies. On the other hand, at the moment, most of the universities in Indonesia are still facing many internal problems such as the number of regulations that have not entirely accommodated the effectiveness of services, or external issues such as the quality of the graduates that have yet met the needs of the industries. In other words, not all community expectations have been entirely and maximally actualized. Our Vision is an excellent development center for science, knowledge, and art at the international level based on the noble values of the national culture. Our Mission is to organize the education and teaching that demand the lecturers' self-development and drive the students' self-reliance in acquiring knowledge, skill, and attitude. Organizing the research, which aims at the discoveries and inventions in science, technology, and art. Organizing the community service activities which are oriented to the efforts of community empowerment. Our Objectives are: Creating a social environment which drives each member of the campus to be willing to learn in order to have the optimal development of the self ability Generating the graduates who are devoted to God and who have noble personalities intelligent, skilled, and self-reliant physically, spiritually, and socially healthy as well Generating discoveries and inventions in the fields of science, technology, and art which can be used to solve the problems in the community and to build a better life Disseminating the output of education, teaching, and research in such a way that a continuous transformation toward a more modern life can be actualized Exploring and developing the noble values of the national culture as one of the bases of thinking, having an attitude, and behaving in life, both inside and outside the campus Developing a more civilized life institution toward having the community which is increasingly intelligent, skilled, self-reliant, democratic, peaceful, and religious Supporting to have a sovereign, united, righteous, and prosperous national and state life Making Universitas Sebelas Maret an internationally reputable university. UNS is the potential newly-established university in Indonesia which has a strategic location, scenic campus areas, highly competent faculties, good researches, and community services for its stakeholders, a complete and modern library, sophisticated facilities and laboratory in Central Java, highly developed information technology, qualified alumni having good job position in Indonesia, and qualified human resources in both regional and national level having excellent achievement in their fields. Those potencies will be meaningless if they are not underlined by powerful visions, missions, and goals. Thus, we commit to attempting our best to actualize UNS as the center of thinking and teaching and as the center of science, arts, technology, and culture development to enrich social living and support national development. Moreover, we provide the opportunities for the academician society to keep competing in their fields, such as encouraging the students to be more active, critical, and creative in both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, supporting the lecturers and the researchers to generate new inventions and developing the innovations which are beneficial for the community, and also supporting the specialized units in UNS to keep improving the service quality. We hope this university can be a learning and research university since it has been our challenges and opportunities in this century. Thank you for exploring UNS through this website. We gratefully welcome the criticism and suggestion for the betterment of our university. View full university
