BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL

Students Support Facilities

1. Academic Advisory

Students from BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL are entitled to obtain academic advice from their academic advisor. Academic guidance, evaluations of academic achievements, and problem-solving for academic issues that students run into while studying may all be included in the consultation. During class, the academic advisor also aims to inspire students both individually and collectively. The academic advisor may suggest a study plan for the students or advise them on the courses they should enroll in.

When choosing their semester courses, before the mid-term, and before the final exam of each semester, students are especially encouraged to set up a meeting with their academic advisor (who is typically the designated lecturer of their Head of Program). When students experience academic challenges while studying, they should consult with their academic advisor. It is crucial that students get academic support before their issues get worse and may compromise their ability to succeed in their studies.

1. Students Advisory and Support Center (SASC)

BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL seeks to give students the chance to not only learn the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes, but also to improve their overall well-being during their studies. To do this, SASC is committed to assist students with any academic or non-academic challenges that may result from their inability to adjust to a new environment or perhaps even from unfavorable circumstances that they may have encountered. Numerous services are offered in this center to help students deal with challenging course material, adjust to a new environment, and in some circumstances, receive consultation for their academic or non-academic needs/problems.

Some of our regular activities include:

1. Student Mentoring. Students that are in need may receive considerable attention from the SASC office. To guarantee academic support for students with GPAs below 2.0 and/or who have a course completion rate of less than 15 SCUs per semester, mentors will be assigned by the Student Advisory Operation to assist with study sessions outside of regular classes.
2. Student Counseling. Students must also experience good well-being in order to have a positive learning environment. Students can speak with a counselor about any private issues they feel compelled to keep private, especially if those issues have any bearing on their academic performance. Counseling sessions can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for both the student and the counselor.
3. Tutorial. Unlike student mentoring, a tutorial activity is an additional class held by mentors for all students at the request of SASC or in response to the results of an SASC analysis. From the request that was received by the SASC office or the outcome of an SASC analysis, one or two mentors are then invited to design class sessions based on the subjects after this request has been confirmed by the program lecturer or Head of the Department (HOD). It is typically undertaken, although not exclusively, for chosen courses that call for intense workouts lasting little more than 100 minutes each week.
4. Student Support Office (SSO)

To enhance students’ soft skills in order to foster BINUS Graduate Attributes so as to carry on one of the missions of BINUS University, which is to create outstanding leaders for global communities, the Student Support Office (SSO) is tasked to facilitate and develop extracurricular activities and organizational events by stewarding student clubs, activities, initiatives, community services, and student development programs in view of student sustainable growth.

SSO is a student support center that assists with various matters, including activities and student journey. SSO provides information about Student Activity Transcript (SAT), Community Service Hours, BINUS Graduate Attributes (BGA), and various other questions about student life.

Some of our regular activities include:

1. Student Club & Activity

2. Student Development.

BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL always provides students with opportunities to gain extra knowledge, develop themselves with work-related skills, and have the attitudes required in their future careers through academic or non-academic activities. BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL also already sets the EES (Employability and Entrepreneurial Skills) as a set of knowledge and skills that students need to have at their graduation. To accommodate that, a GEE Unit is present at every campus to facilitate the needs. Whether through career training or consultation, or it could be as simple as job vacancy information, GEE is always ready to give services to the first year students until the graduate candidates.

Some of GEE’s regular activities include:

1. Career Seminar and Career Preparation Training.

1. Language Center

The Language Center (LC) is responsible for innovating, designing, and maintaining programs, as well as promoting, supporting, and resolving communication issues related to the use of English at the international campus of BINUS University. The LC provides programs and services for students including, but not limited to, English Plus Stage One and English Plus Stage Two (pre-sessional/non-credit courses), Academic English courses in both the International Undergraduate Program and the BINUS Business School Master Program, inter-class competitions, a language clinic, a website, social networking accounts, and a self-access center. Special English test preparation courses for IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE are also provided for students who are required to meet specific English entry requirements of overseas university partners.

In addition, the LC establishes contacts and develops programs and events with English language-based entities. Consultation, training, translation of non-research documents, and proofreading of case studies and research papers for faculty and staff are also provided. Moreover, the LC runs a peer tutorial center called BINUS International Language Link, where students—mainly in their first year—learn Academic English, including writing and presentation skills, from their peers.

The Language Center envisions BINUS University International as a campus of high-quality international communication through exposure to and immersion in global academic, professional, and general English—not only for students but also for faculty, staff, and visitors. To continuously improve their English language abilities, students are encouraged to make the most of facilities such as one-on-one consultation sessions with faculty in the English Language Clinic. In doing so, students will be well prepared for and feel at home communicating in English in an international environment, thus smoothing their transition to studies overseas and giving them a competitive edge.

1. Center for Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, and Research (CIDER)

The Center for Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, and Research was established to serve as a focal link between students’ entrepreneurial learning and their entrepreneurial careers. The unit maintains and develops the core competencies of entrepreneurship and ensures they are embedded in academic programs at BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL. The unit identifies potential products or services that have been developed by students during their studies and assists them in commercializing those products and services. The unit advocates entrepreneurial thinking and attitudes among students by actively involving the students in entrepreneurial projects and bootcamps. The unit also builds a connection with similar centers at the international level both for benchmarking and collaboration purposes.

Collaborative Learning with Innopeda Curriculum

BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL is also committed to developing the students’ skills in innovation and entrepreneurship. A new learning environment implemented in a curriculum called Innopeda (Innovation Pedagogy) has been specially designed to facilitate the development of these skills. It fosters collaborative learning experiences well suited to the needs and characteristics of the new generation of students. Teamwork skills, innovative idea generation, viable business solutions, and business startups are all the intended learning outcomes aiming to nurture new entrepreneurs at BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL.

The Innopeda curriculum is centered upon the hatchery courses, which enable students to hatch their innovative ideas into business solutions and startups such as Project Hatchery and Entrepreneurship Hatchery, which are mandatory courses for all BUI students in their early years. During the entrepreneurial enrichment track, Business Model Innovation and Sustainable Startup Creation, among others, are the follow-up courses designed specifically with design thinking, customer development, and lean startup methodology in a multi-discipline environment to stimulate and cultivate the students’ entrepreneurial skills.

To support this collaborative and entrepreneurial learning environment, the Center for Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, and Research was established in 2015, which serves as a focal link between students’ entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial careers. It develops the core competencies in innovation and entrepreneurship, identifies innovative products or services that have been developed by students, and assists them in commercializing those products and services. It also promotes entrepreneurial thinking and attitudes among students by actively involving the students in entrepreneurship projects and providing outlets to exhibit them. The Innopeda curriculum and CIDER immerses students with an end-to-end experiential journey.
