[edit] History

After the independence of Indonesia, the Indonesian Institute for Higher Education (BPTRI) was established in Jakarta consisting of three faculties, namely Medicine and Pharmacy, Letters and Law. The institute produced its first 90 graduate students as medical doctors in the same year. When the Dutch colonial army occupied Jakarta late of 1945, the BPTRI moved to Klaten, Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Malang. In 1946, the Dutch colonial government established a Nood Universiteit or Emergency University at Jakarta. In 1947, the name was changed into Universiteit van Indonesie (UVI) or the University of Indonesia. Following the Indonesian National Revolution, the government established a state university in Jakarta in February 1950. The name is Universiteit Indonesia, comprising BPTRI units and the formerly UVI, which was later changed into Universitas Indonesia (UI).

In 1950, UI was a multi campus university with faculties in Jakarta (Medicine, Law, and Letters), Bogor (Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine), Bandung (Engineering, Mathematics and Natural Sciences), Surabaya (Medicine and Dentistry), and Makassar (Economics). In 1954, the Surabaya campus became Universitas Airlangga. In 1955, the Makassar campus became Universitas Hasanuddin. In 1959, the Bandung campus became Institut Teknologi Bandung, while the School for Physical Education, which was also located in Bandung, became part of Padjajaran University in 1960. In 1964, the Bogor campus became Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) and the Faculty of Education (FKIP) at Jakarta, became IKIP Jakarta. In 1965, UI consisted of three campuses, all in Jakarta, namely the Salemba Campus (Medicine, Dentistry, Economics, Engineering, Science and the Graduate School), the Rawamangun Campus (Letters, Law, Social Science and Psychology) and the Pegangsaan Campus (Public Health and parts of Medicine).
