BINUS University actively offers executive education programs and vocational training that are open to the general public, designed for professionals, employees, and individuals beyond its regular student body.

Among the flagship initiatives are short courses and professional training programs such as:

  • Financial Risk Academy, a structured training program that develops participants’ competencies in financial risk management and prepares them for the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) Part I examination.
  • Financial for Non-Finance Professional, a short course designed to strengthen financial literacy and financial decision-making skills among professionals without a finance background.
  • Adaptive Leadership in AI Era, a professional development program focused on strengthening leadership capabilities in response to artificial intelligence and digital transformation.

BINUS also provides in-house training programs customized for organizations, enabling companies to upskill their workforce in areas aligned with industry needs.

In addition, the Apple Developer Academy @ BINUS provides vocational training for eligible learners aged 18 and above. Its nine-month program combines coding, design, and professional skills development, enabling participants to develop applications while strengthening leadership, collaboration, and teamwork abilities.

Through these initiatives, BINUS University supports lifelong learning by providing structured opportunities for professional development and vocational skills enhancement beyond its regular degree programs. These offerings enable professionals, employees, and other eligible learners to develop relevant competencies and adapt to evolving industry needs.

BINUS University undertakes educational outreach activities beyond its campuses both on an ad-hoc basis and on a programmed basis, including tailored training, workshops, community education, external-school learning activities, and voluntary student-run schemes. These activities are delivered by BINUS faculty members and students directly to external schools and local communities, providing practical learning opportunities to beneficiaries outside BINUS’s formal student population.

Ad-hoc activities

  • Women Entrepreneurs Training – Tawangmangu, June 2025
    BINUS Business School academics delivered training to 20 women entrepreneurs from local culinary, herbal, and handicraft businesses. The programme focused on innovation, branding, and entrepreneurship through presentations, hands-on practice, group discussions, and branding simulations. The activity was conducted in collaboration with Rumah Atsiri Indonesia and the International Labour Organization (ILO), bringing BINUS academic expertise directly to the community outside the BINUS campus.
  • Digital Marketing and SEO Training – Cipondoh, Tangerang, August 2025
    BINUS provided digital marketing and SEO training for local UMKM entrepreneurs at the Cipondoh District Office. The activity provided practical guidance on improving online business visibility and digital marketing capabilities. This was a community-based educational activity delivered directly outside the BINUS campus

On-programme activities

  • PKM Wringinanom 2025 – Wringinanom, 28–30 July 2025
    50 BINUS student volunteers participated in this community outreach programme and directly engaged with local residents. The students conducted educational and knowledge-transfer activities, including an Excellent Service training session for community members working in tourism. The activity represents a voluntary student-run educational outreach scheme, with BINUS students acting as facilitators and educators for beneficiaries outside the university.
  • International Community Development Programme – Sekolah Indonesia Bangkok, July 2025
    BINUS conducted an educational outreach programme at Sekolah Indonesia Bangkok, reaching 30 external participants consisting of 20 students and 10 teachers. The programme included workshops and learning sessions on cross-cultural learning, educational board games, critical thinking, and creative communication for educators. Presentations, simulations, interactive activities, and two-way discussions were used to provide tailored educational support to the external school community.

These activities demonstrate BINUS University’s educational outreach both on an ad-hoc basis and through programmed initiatives, involving faculty-led training, community-based education, external-school outreach, and voluntary student-run learning activities. The activities extend BINUS’s educational expertise beyond its physical campuses and formal student population to local entrepreneurs, community residents, teachers, and school students.

BINUS University extends lifelong learning beyond its enrolled students through free public seminars, knowledge-sharing activities, and community educational programmes. In 2025, these free activities provided external participants—including the wider community, workers, entrepreneurs, local communities, and the broader academic community—with access to university-based knowledge and practical skills.

1. Ad Hoc Events

  • Public lectures and knowledge-sharing

On 12 July 2025, BINUS University conducted Knowledge Sharing: Chances & Challenges of Industry 4.0 Workforce via Zoom. The activity was designed to reach the wider community without geographical limitations and provided learning on workforce transformation, emerging technologies, labour-market changes, and the skills needed to remain relevant in the Industry 4.0 era. This provided accessible lifelong-learning content to participants beyond BINUS’s enrolled students.

  • Community educational events

In 2025, BINUS conducted Laporan Keuangan Sederhana UMKM dan Analisa Laporan Keuangan. The educational webinar provided practical training on preparing and analysing financial statements for small businesses. By targeting external UMKM and community entrepreneurs, the activity extended BINUS’s educational resources to people outside its formal student population and provided directly applicable financial-management skills.

2. Events Conducted on a Programme Basis

  • Public lectures and seminar series

In 2025, BINUS University collaborated with other NUNI member universities and international partners in organising the NUNI International Seminar Series #10, held online from 24–28 November 2025. The seminar, themed “Thriving in the Digital Age: Balancing Mental Health, Well-being, and Sustainability in a Hyperconnected World,” was open to the public and offered free participation in English, with e-certificates available. The event provided external participants with access to educational discussions on mental health, well-being, and sustainability in the digital age. As part of an organised international seminar series, this collaborative initiative demonstrates BINUS University’s contribution to programme-based public learning opportunities beyond its enrolled student population.

  • Community educational programmes

From 6–9 May 2025, BINUS conducted Penguatan Literasi Digital: Pelatihan Dasar Komputer Internet untuk Masyarakat in Desa Ciputri, Cianjur. The programme targeted village officials and UMKM operators and provided hands-on training in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to strengthen digital skills for village administration and small-business activities.

These activities demonstrate BINUS’s provision of lifelong learning through both ad-hoc events and programmed educational activities, reaching external participants beyond its enrolled student population. Through public seminars, workforce knowledge-sharing, financial education for entrepreneurs, and practical digital-literacy training for local communities, BINUS provides structured educational opportunities and skills development for external participants.

BINUS University is committed to ensuring inclusive and equitable access to educational activities for all individuals, regardless of ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, or socio-economic background. This commitment is formalized through:

  • Rector’s Decree No. 0136A, which contains provisions to eliminate barriers and promote equal participation (PART II, points E, F, and G).

  • Rector’s Circular Letter No. 1677A/REK/IX/2023 on Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Violence, which enforces a Zero Tolerance Policy against all forms of discrimination and violence within the university community.

Key points outlined in the Circular Letter include:

  • BINUS University stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and violence, both physical and psychological.

  • All incidents of discrimination or violence must be reported immediately through official campus channels.

  • Reports are handled confidentially, with thorough investigations to ensure integrity and fairness.

  • Violations of the policy may result in disciplinary actions, ranging from warnings to more severe penalties in accordance with university regulations.

In addition to these policies, BINUS University explicitly applies a non-discrimination policy in its admissions process, ensuring equal opportunities for all prospective students without bias based on ethnicity, religion, race, social group, gender, or social and political status. This commitment particularly extends to individuals who require financial assistance and/or have disabilities, guaranteeing that these factors do not become obstacles to accessing higher education.

To operationalize these principles, BINUS University implements several key initiatives:

  • Accessible facilities: including wheelchair ramps, assistive technologies in classrooms, and other accommodations to support students with disabilities.

  • Affirmation Scholarship Program: providing financial aid to students from low-income and underprivileged regions to reduce economic barriers to education.

  • Awareness and training programs: ongoing anti-discrimination and inclusivity training for students, faculty, and staff to promote a respectful and supportive campus culture.

Through this comprehensive framework of policies and programs, BINUS University ensures equitable access to all educational activities for all members of its community, reflecting its mission to foster a safe, diverse, and empowering learning environment.

BINUS University provides free access to a wide range of educational resources for individuals who are not enrolled at the university. As part of its mission to foster and empower the wider community, BINUS has developed several open-access platforms and programs that support inclusive, lifelong learning.

1. Taman Belajar: Open Learning for All Ages and Levels

A key initiative is Taman Belajar, an online learning platform developed by BINUS that is freely accessible to the public, regardless of educational background or age. Users do not need to be BINUS students to register or participate.

Taman Belajar offers:

  • School-level courses for elementary (SD), junior high (SMP), and senior high school (SMA/SMK) students, covering core subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Social Studies.

  • Enrichment programs in areas such as Olympiad preparation, photography, public speaking, and introductory programming (e.g., C language).

  • Skill-based and professional courses for adult learners and professionals, including topics like Digital Marketing, AI for Business, Calculus for Machine Learning, and Data Analytics Bootcamps.

All courses are delivered online with structured modules that include video lessons, quizzes, and downloadable learning materials. As a fully web-based platform, Taman Belajar is accessible nationwide and has already reached learners in 30 out of 38 provinces in Indonesia, demonstrating its broad impact and accessibility.

2. BINUS MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses)

BINUS also operates a dedicated MOOC platform that offers university-level courses to the general public at no cost. These self-paced courses are designed to support professional development and exploration in areas such as:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

  • Mobile App Development

  • Animation and Design

  • Finance and Econometrics

  • Language and Culture

MOOC content is developed by BINUS faculty members and allows learners from diverse backgrounds to gain practical knowledge and skills.

3. Apple Developer Academy @ BINUS

Another major initiative is the Apple Developer Academy, a nine-month, full-scholarship program in app development, design thinking, and entrepreneurship. The program is open to any Indonesian citizen aged 18 or older, regardless of their educational background or university affiliation.

Participants are provided with learning devices (MacBook and iPhone) and engage in project-based learning through a Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) framework. The program aims to develop future-ready talent and promote inclusive access to digital skills training.

Through initiatives like Taman Belajar, BINUS MOOC, and the Apple Developer Academy, BINUS University has demonstrated a clear and sustained commitment to making education more open, inclusive, and accessible to the broader public. These programs help bridge the gap between formal education and community learning, enabling people of all ages and backgrounds to access high-quality educational resources free of charge.
