Binus University

History

BINUS UNIVERSITY was originally founded as a short-term computer training institute, Modern Computer Course, on October 21, 1974. It was the start a rapid growth and expansion, blessed with a solid foundation, clear vision, and high dedication.

Rapid growth and the people ´ s interest led to the school´s induction. Modern Computer Course had developed into ‘Akademi Teknik Komputer (ATK)’ or ‘Computer Systems Academy’ on July 1, 1981. It offered Diploma (D-3) Program in Information Management and Computer Science. Three years after, on July 13, 1984, ATK acquired "Registered" status and changed its name to ‘Akademi Manajemen Informatika dan Komputer (AMIK)’ or ‘Academy of Information Management and Computer Science’ Jakarta. On July 1, 1985, AMIK Jakarta opened another Diploma Program in Computerized Accounting. On September 21, 1985, AMIK Jakarta changed its name into AMIK BINA NUSANTARA.

On March 17, 1986, The Ministry of Education and Culture, through The Higher Education Board District III awarded AMIK BINA NUSANTARA as The Best Computer Academy, when it was still relatively young.

The growing need for highly qualified human resources in the Information Technology field motivated BINA NUSANTARA to establish ‘Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen Informatika dan Komputer (STMIK)’ or ‘Institute of Information Management and Computer Science’ BINA NUSANTARA on July 1, 1986. This Institute offered Undergraduate (S-1) Program in Information Management, Computer Science, and Computer Engineering.

On November 9, 1987, AMIK BINA NUSANTARA was merged with STMIK BINA NUSANTARA. It created a single institution offering Diploma (D-3) and Undergraduate (S-1) programs. STMIK BINA NUSANTARA achieved "Accredited" status for all its programs and levels, on March 18, 1992. Having already carved a good reputation, STMIK BINA NUSANTARA inaugurated its Master (S-2) Program in Information System Management, the first of its kind in Indonesia on May 10, 1993.

As the next step for BINA NUSANTARA, BINUS UNIVERSITY was established on August 8, 1996. STMIK BINA NUSANTARA was then merged into BINUS UNIVERSITY on December 20, 1998. BINA NUSANTARA UNIVERSITY, at the time, has 5 Faculties: Computer Sciences, Economics, Engineering, Literature, and Mathematics & Statistics, with one Master Program.

Overview Jakarta

The dynamic and bustling capital of Indonesia is the old port city of Jakarta. With its strategic location on the western coast of Java Island, Jakarta serves as the gateway to the 17,000 odd islands that make up the massive archipelago of Indonesia. Formerly a Dutch colony from the 17th century, Jakarta has evolved into a modern and lively social, economic and political hub. With some 7.5 million residents, Jakarta offers visitors more than enough things to see and do in the city.

Visit this website for photographs and further information about Jakarta in Indonesia.

At first glance, this teeming metropolis seems congested, overpopulated and dirty, but once you begin poking around specific neighbourhoods, you’ll find some wonderful historic and cultural sights worth further exploration. From the original Dutch enclave of Batavia, which looks much as it did in the 1600s, to the modern shopping malls of Plaza Indonesia, the capital offers a nice balance between the old and new. Most visitors will want to head straight to the charming Kota district, where Batavia and the old port of Sunda Kelapa harbour are located, to soak in the authentic ambiance.

Ancol Dreamland is another major highlight in the northern part of Jakarta. This is an entertainment complex where visitors can do everything from play in amusement parks to catch a boat out to the Thousand Island chain of islets that dot Jakarta Bay. Cultural hamlets such as Chinatown offer a nice complement to the high-tech wonders at Ancol, ensuring that visitors will have plenty of activities and sights to choose from.

Hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues are mainly concentrated in the central part of town, but can be readily found in every corner of the capital. If you can deal with the ubiquitous heat and humidity, you will find that Indonesia’s capital offers some pleasant surpriसेस.

History

Jakarta has a long history as a trading port dating back to the 5th century, but the town only reached its peak of importance in the 16th century, when the Portuguese - the first Europeans to land on Java – arrived in 1522. In their trading agreement, the Portuguese provided protection from the Islamic sultanate of Demak. However, the Portuguese forces were defeated by the sultan in 1527 and the port town was renamed Jayakarta.

Visit this website for Jakarta History.
By the end of the 16th century, Jakarta reached another milestone when the Dutch arrived at the Sunda Kelapa harbour and set up the Dutch East India Company to cash in on the lucrative global spice trade. Throughout most of the 1600s, the Dutch developed the infrastructure of Jakarta (which they called Batavia) by walling the city and creating a vast canal network.
The 18th century saw Jakarta boom to the point of overcrowding, and the quality of life in the city dropped. Chinese immigrants flooded into the city, disrupting the balance of power, eventually resulting in a bloodbath where some 5,000 Chinese were killed by the nervous Dutch authorities.

In 1811, the British arrived on the scene, taking control of the land formerly run by the Dutch. But after just five years of colonial rule, the British handed control of Jakarta back to the Dutch, who reigned over daily affairs up until WWII, when the Japanese took over. The year 1908 is remembered as the ‘Year of Awakening’, when a group of medical students began the first of Jakarta’s many political movements. These radical groups fought against the Japanese occupation until 1945, when the Japanese finally surrendered. Following the end of the war, the founding fathers of modern Jakarta established the Declaration of Independence.

The first few decades of Indonesia’s autonomy were prosperous and stable. Rice production soared and a number of development projects were completed. This ‘golden’ era continued up until the Asian economic crisis of 1997, which brought the house down on Jakarta (and most other Asian economies). A subsequent wave of protests and riots created a political power vacuum which still remains tenuous. Despite the ups and downs, Jakarta remains Indonesia’s heart and soul.

Weather
Like all of Indonesia, Jakarta’s weather is typically tropical, which means hot and humid conditions year-round. Temperatures range from 25 to 28°C most of the time, which are cooled by gentle breezes that blow in from the sea. Since Jakarta lies on the equator, there is very little seasonal change; visitors can count on hot and sticky weather just about any time of the year.
If it’s not hot and sunny in Jakarta, then it’s raining. The eastern monsoon runs from June to September, bringing the dry weather which results in the city’s hottest temperatures. From December to March, the eastern monsoon arrives, and with it, the rainy season. October through February is particularly rainy, so expect a torrential downpour every afternoon. These afternoon showers are a daily occurrence during the winter months, so be sure to bring a raincoat or umbrella.
There is really no ideal time for a visit to Jakarta, but the edges of the rainy monsoon can often be slightly cooler and more refreshing.
