Budi Luhur University

Being intelligent (“cerdas”) and noble (Barbuda luhur) are connected; they are inseparable. Intelligence without noble values will tend to be used to fool, manipulate, and harm others; on the other hand, noble values without intelligence would lead to being oppressed and victimized by others...
To educate such intelligent and noble valued people, Budi Luhur Academy of Computer Sciences (AIK: Akademi Ilmu Komputer Budi Luhur) was established on April 1, 1979, on Jl Budi Utomo.No. 11 Central Jakarta. The academy aims to produce skillful and professional workers in the computer industry to meet national development needs.
After struggling for two years, AIK Budi Luhur received an operational permit from the government on August 11, 1981. In the operational permit, the government changed the name of AIK Budi Luhur into Budi Luhur Academy of Computer Science (APK Budi Luhur: Akademi Pengetahuan Komputer Budi Luhur) and was formally registered on January 5, 1983, by Mendikbud (Ministry of Education) by Ministerial Decree No, APK 018/O/1983. APK Budi Luhur successfully commenced the baccalaureate exams with the examiners from ITB with its newly registered status. Through that state exam, APK Budi Luhur produced Indonesia’s first computer baccalaureates. Entering the first phase of the campus construction (consisting of two two-story building units), on August 17, 1985, APK Budi Luhur moved from Jl. Budi Utomo No. 11 to Jl. Cilek Raya, North Petukangan, Kebayoran Lama.
With the steadiness of APK Budi Luhur and the growth of interest and need for computer experts, Budi Luhur established Budi Luhur Academy of Computer Electrical Engineering (ATEK Budi Luhur: Akademi Teknik Elektro Komputer Budi Luhur) and Budi Luhur Academy of Accounting (AAK: Akademi Akuntansi Budi Luhur) in August 1985. The purpose of ATEK Budi Luhur is to prepare graduates who can hold positions and tasks that require knowledge of computer electrical engineering. At the same time, AAK Budi Luhur aims to prepare graduates qualified for the positions and tasks that require accounting and computer knowledge.
