Institut Teknologi Bandung

In harmonia progressio
Institut Teknologi Bandung, which was founded during the colonial era in 1920, is the first and largest scientific and technical university in Indonesia. ITB was established on March 2- 1959. Now, ITB consists of 12 faculties & school offering courses and research in sciences, technologies and fine arts. It enrolls more than 20.000 students with annual intake of around 4000 new students enrolling from undergraduate program to post-doctoral program. THES (times higher education supplement) report ranked Institut Teknologi Bandung in the TOP 100 World Bank of Technological University. ITB is located in the northern area of Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Surrounded by the enjoyable green hills at 720 meter above sea level, Bandung is granted with mild weather all over the year ranging between 18o and 29oC. Since early 20th century, Bandung has been dedicated to be the home base of the development of sciences and advance technology in Indonesia. Source : www.itb.ac.id Office : Jl.

Faculty of Industrial Technology

Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI) was established in 1973. However, almost all programs under FTI have started their academic activities before the faculty was established. At present, FTI ITB runs undergraduate and graduate programs in Chemical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Industrial Engineering, as well as Master Program in Instrumentation and Control. Vision : To be the excellent faculty in industrial management, technology and engineering science, in order to accelerating nations competitiveness and prosperity. Mission : 1. To conduct higher education and continuing education in chemical engineering, engineering physics, industrial engineering, and engineering management. 2. To develop science and technology in chemical engineering, engineering physics, industrial engineering, and engineering management through research and development activity. 3. To disseminates science, technology and insights in chemical engineering, engineering physics, industrial engineering, and engineering management to the society, partnership with industries or other institutions, as well as service to the society in order to contribute in building our nations competitiveness. 4. To expand and maintain international cooperation networks with overseas reputable universities in education and research. 2

5. To develop academic staff, which enable faculty to achieve excellence in education, research and service to the society.

Chemical Engineering ITB

Department of Chemical Engineering opens an undergraduate program (bachelor) and graduate program for master and doctoral degree. The undergradute rogram is done in 4 years (8 semesters, 144 credits), while the graduate program for master degree is done in 3 semesters (36 credits). Every year, Department of Chemicalaccepts 105 students for the Undergraduate Program through SPMB (Selection of University Students Acceptance) which is held by The Ministry of Education (60 students) and PMBP (Potential and Interest Students Selection) (45 students). Graduate Students of Master's Program with good results have the opportunity to get scholarships for the Double Degree International Master Program (IMP). IMP is cooperation between ITB and Rijks universiteit Groningen (RuG). The program consists of one year of studying in Bandung and one year of research in Groningen, the netherlands. At the end of the program, students will get Master of Science diploma from RuG and Master degree from ITB. Many alumni of our programs work in chemical process industries such as : oil refinery, petrochemical industry, paper industry, food industry, cement industry, and many others. Program Educational Objectives of the Chemical Engineering-ITB

1. Excellence in careers in chemical engineering practice in the energy, chemical process, and biochemical process industries. 2. Competitiveness in pursuing diverse careers, including business, government agencies, educational institutions, and entrepreneurships. 3. Excellence in lifelong learning through nationally & internationally recognized graduate studies, research, and professional activities to meet or exceed the evolving expectations of employers. 4. Recognition as critical, ethical & innovative leaders in the application of engineering solutions to address the needs of the society.
