Malang at Glance

Malang is one of the most attractive hill towns in East Java. It is located between two massive groups of mountains with Semeru and the national park Bromo-Tengger to the east. Due to the altitude, the city enjoys cool, comfortable climate. The fresh, cool weather is not the only thing the city has to offer. In addition to the beautiful landscape, Malang is surrounded by magnificent historical artifacts. Among them are Candi Singosari and Candi Sumberawan, located closed to the Singosari village north of Malang, and Candi Jago and Candi Kidal which are located in Tumpang, east of Malang.

The 'colonial atmosphere' of the city is quite obvious. The Dutch had an important military base here until 1949, and Malang was the capital of the district of the same name. Some of the buildings from the colonial period can still be seen in some corners of the city. Today, Malang has developed into one of the biggest cities in East Java, with the estimated population of 720,534 (1997).

An easy way to come to Malang is by train or bus from Surabaya, which takes about two hours. Travelling from Malang to Kediri over Batu, you will see a spectacular view along the way. The road passes through some beautiful and changing scenery, volcanoes, rich farmland, hot springs, deep valleys and dense jungle.

For quite a long time, Malang has enjoyed the reputation as one of the most important educational centers in East Java. It hosts several tertiary institutions, and is home to three state universities. One of them is UM. The main campus covers 43 hectares (106 acres) which is located in the center of Malang city. Besides this main campus, there are also campuses at the outskirts of Malang and in Blitar.

History of UM

On October 18, 1954, Prof. Mr. Muhammad Yamin officially opened Perguruan Tinggi Pendidikan Guru Malang (PTPG Malang), or Teacher Education College. The historical event marked the commencement of what now becomes UM, one of the oldest universities in Indonesia. The newly born institution had five departments, with 127 students and 37 lecturers. Prof. Sutan Adam Bachtiar was appointed first rector of PTPG Malang.

The founding of another university in East Java, Unair (Universitas Airlangga) on November 10, 1954, brought about some important consequence to the status of PTPG Malang. Since then, PTPG became one of the four faculties of Unair. It was not until four years later that the status change and was officially declared, with the issuance of Government Decree No. 71, 1958. Based on the decree, PTPG Malang formally became Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of Airlangga University (Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, FKIP-Unair).

In 1963, FKIP-Unair converted into an independent institution, namely Institute of Teacher Training and Education (Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Malang, or better known as IKIP Malang). The emergence of this institution put an end to the previous debates concerning the dualism in the government policy on teacher education in Indonesia. In 1967 it was designated as a Growth Center University by the Director General of Higher Education and in 1968 it opened its first Doctorate Program.

The year 1999 marked yet another important change in the institution's status. Based on Presidential Decree No. 93, 1999, IKIP Malang obtained a greater mandate and transformed into UM. Later, referring to the Director-General of Higher Education's Decree No. 143/DIKTI/Kep/2000, five faculties were established: Faculty of Educaton, Faculty of Letters, Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Faculty of Economics, and Faculty of Engineering. The English Department of UM was once recognized by the Ford Foundation as the best of its kind in South East Asia.

Why choose UM
