Education is an investment for the future. A good education is required to get a proper job for a brighter future. In order to get the best education, you have to carefully pick the best university as well for your children's higher education. Either studying in local universities or going abroad, you are free to choose the best university that can support your kids' dreams.
Last year, several global survey organizations such as Webometrics and QS World University Rankings released their lists of world’s best universities. Meanwhile, Indonesia's Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) also released a list of the country's best universities in 2020.
Can you decide which best university to attend? Let's check out these recommendations of the best universities in Indonesia and abroad!
Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB, Bogor Institute of Agriculture)
Located in Bogor, West Java, IPB has been very devoted to Indonesian agricultural education and development since 1963. According to the criteria of evaluation by the Kemendikbud's Directorate General of High Education such as the number of lecturers with doctorate degrees and professors, accreditation, scientific journals, etc., IPB earned the total score of 3,648. This score has made IPB as Indonesia's best university in 2020.
Universitas Indonesia (UI, University of Indonesia)
One of the oldest universities in Indonesia, Universitas Indonesia always enters the list of the country's best universities. According to Kemendikbud criteria of evaluation, UI came up second on the list with a total score of 3,414. UI is a green campus located both in West Java's Depok and Central Jakarta's Salemba. There’s nothing to doubt when it comes to its educational quality. It has 14 faculties, each has its own departments and research centers.
Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM, University of Gadjah Mada)
UGM is the most famous university in Yogyakarta. It offers various quality study programs both in social and scientific fields. Many notable thinkers, politicians, medical professionals, and artists once studied at this best university which was established in 1949. It would be no wonder that UGM earned a score of 3,315 in the Kemendikbud 2020 rankings.
Universitas Airlangga (Unair, University of Airlangga)
Unair has become more reputable than ever before thanks to its endeavors in fighting against COVID-19 in Indonesia.

If you are planning to study at ITB, you have to brace yourself for a very tough entrance exam.
