Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) or the State University of Malang, formerly the Institute of Teacher Education and Educational Sciences of Malang (IKIP Malang), is one of the state universities in Indonesia. Located in the city of Malang and Blitar, East Java, UM was established in 188 October 1954 as PTPG Malang, as School of Education of Airlangga University, making it one of the oldest teaching institutes in Indonesia. UM was separated from Airlangga University on 20 May 1964 to become IKIP Malang. In 1999, IKIP Malang formally changed its status from an institute to a state university.
Currently, UM offers international programs to foreign students through KNB (Kemitraan Negara Berkembang) Scholarship. The programs offered are regular programs held in Indonesian language.
KNB Scholarship is a prestigious scholarship provided by the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia, for international students from developing countries who desire to pursue their bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in Indonesian universities.
UM, as one of the top-tier universities in Indonesia, has been working with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research to offer KNB scholarships for citizens of developing countries since 2008. UM’s international students come from various countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, America, and the Pacific, making the university a vibrant academic community. With the support of excellent teaching infrastructure and international students’ dormitory, UM can offer international students a quality study experience.
In addition, with UM’s internationally reputed Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing (BIPA) course, international students can get the best immersion experience in Indonesian language and culture. You can build your intellectual pathways for a better future with UM.

We recommend you ask the administrator of each program about all the details since not all important information is available online in English. Do call or text or email the admin about your questions or inquiries. The preferred tool is using WhatsApp, social media account, and email. Be prepared to have an admin who is not fluent in English, so speak slowly and clearly. Combine the communication with written format to avoid misunderstanding as far as you can.
Bear in mind that all Indonesian higher education institutions are able to accept international students in programs outside the ones labeled as "international programs." That means that those regular programs are held in Indonesian language, and all international students should have sufficient language capability to enter the program. Check these "Indonesian TOEFL" to get more information:
- UKBI (Uji Kemahiran Berbahasa Indonesia/Indonesian Language Proficiency Test) - information in Indonesian or in English
