President University is opening a route to a bachelor’s degree for people who cannot easily fit conventional campus attendance around work, business or family responsibilities.
Its new World Campus uses online and distance learning, allowing students to study from different locations while remaining part of the university’s academic community. The initial offering is a Management in Information Systems program.
President University World Campus is an alternative for those who want to pursue higher education with greater flexibility.
Dr Adhi Setyo Santoso, the university’s vice rector for academic, research and innovation affairs, described the campus as an alternative for people seeking greater flexibility in higher education. The university said it plans to expand the range of programs to serve students with different interests and needs.
In the future, the choice of study programs at World Campus will continue to be developed to provide more options for prospective students with diverse needs and interests.
The university presents World Campus as a new approach to higher education, where learning does not require students to be in one place at a fixed time. It says the online format is intended to make undergraduate study more flexible and relevant to current learners.
President University also emphasizes its international positioning. It cites its Unggul accreditation, recognition through the Seoul Accord in computing and information technology, a five-star QS Stars rating and a No. 165 ranking worldwide in the WURI Global Top 500 2026. In WURI’s 2026 rankings, it also placed among the world’s top five in Culture/Values, Infrastructure/Technology, AI-Based Teaching and Learning Transformation, and Inclusive Social Innovation for the Underserved.
President University offers a learning experience oriented toward international standards.
