BINUS University takes planned and continuous actions to recruit students, staff, and faculty members from underrepresented groups — including individuals from remote regions, low-income families, ethnic minorities, women, and people with disabilities.
This effort aligns with BINUS’s vision of “Fostering and Empowering the Society in Building and Serving the Nation,” ensuring that education and employment opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstances.

  • The university maintains an inclusive environment free from discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, race, gender, or disability.
    BINUS enforces anti-discrimination policies that prohibit intolerance related to SARA (ethnicity, religion, race, and community background) and regularly monitors recruitment and admission data to ensure equitable access for all groups.
  • To promote equitable access to higher education, BINUS implements targeted scholarship programs for students from disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost regions (3T areas) and low-income families.
    • The Affirmation Scholarship and ADIK Scholarship enable financially challenged students to continue their studies without financial burden.
    • The BINUS University 2024 Scholarship Program provides full tuition waivers until graduation for qualified students, reflecting BINUS’s proactive approach to expanding access to education.

  • BINUS expands educational opportunities across regions through initiatives that reach previously underrepresented areas.
    The Digital Psychology program at BINUS @Semarang (launched in 2024) empowers Generation Z students in Central Java while creating new job opportunities for regional professionals — supporting the decentralization of talent development across Indonesia.

  • Gender equality and representation are key priorities in both recruitment and academic participation.
    Female students represent 45.2% of BINUS’s total population, demonstrating the university’s commitment to inclusivity.
    BINUS also ensures equal opportunities for women in leadership, academic, and administrative roles and enforces strict non-discrimination policies to prevent gender bias.

  • For non-traditional students, BINUS provides flexible learning options that accommodate diverse lifestyles and professional commitments.
    Programs such as evening classes, hybrid learning, and BINUS Online Learning (BiON) allow working professionals and adult learners to pursue higher education without disrupting their careers.

Additionally, BINUS supports individuals from underrepresented groups — including those with disabilities — through inclusive facilities and support systems, such as counseling services, adaptive learning environments, and individualized education programs.
Through these inclusive recruitment policies and initiatives, BINUS University underscores its unwavering commitment to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic environment that empowers all members of society to thrive and contribute to national development.
