SDG 4: Quality Education
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Access to Educational Resources, Executive Education Program, and Vocational Training for the General Public
To support lifelong learning for both our students and the wider community, the Directorate of Digital Education at Universitas Indonesia (UI) has been offering free educational access through the official UI LMS since 2021. These offerings include a variety of both credit and non-credit courses. Alongside our free programs, we also provide structured paid learning paths tailored for participants outside of UI, which consist of:
This paid online learning programme provides high school students and equivalent-level learners, as well as gap-year participants, with a university-level learning experience. The programme aims to introduce participants to the university’s academic environment, prepare them for further studies, and award micro-credentials in recognition of their completed learning. The Pre-U Program offers 10 courses across 8 faculties, covering a wide range of fields, from health sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to technology.
This paid, non-degree online continuing education programme is designed to enhance practical competencies and future-ready skills. Developed by experts from various faculties at UI, the programme offers a flexible and accessible learning experience for recent graduates, working professionals, and the general public.
This short-term online learning programme is designed to support competency certification or the acquisition of professional credentials. It is open to the general public and offers a wide range of learning topics across health sciences, social sciences and humanities, as well as science and technology. This program is hosted on Universitas Indonesia’s Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) platform, idols.ui.ac.id. In 2025, UI offered 120 courses with nearly 10,000 participants.
OCW is a platform providing lecture materials from various experts at UI that are freely accessible to learners, regardless of time and location. They are available online and can be accessed and downloaded anytime, anywhere. Open Courseware is available on the website ocw.ui.ac.id.
In addition to providing free access to online learning resources, UI also opens its campus facilities and learning resources to the general public. One example is the UI Central Library (Crystal of Knowledge), located on the UI Depok Campus in West Java. Members of the public can visit the library to read books on-site, use reading spaces, and access the online catalogue through the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC).
The UI Library also provides digital learning resources, including dozens of online databases, e-books, international journals, and AI-powered research tools such as Trinka AI and Scopus AI. These digital resources can be accessed through the UI Library portal using devices connected to the internet or UI’s Wi-Fi network. Access from outside the campus is available through a UI Single Sign-On (SSO) account.
Beyond the library and digital learning resources, UI also provides other campus facilities for public use. UI’s computer room, known as Kebun Apel, is open to the general public free of charge. The public can also enjoy UI’s jogging tracks, cycling paths, scenic spots, and sports facilities. Furthermore, UI provides rooms and venues that can be rented or borrowed for events.
Public Lectures and Community Education Events for the General Public
In support of quality education for all, UI recognizes the importance of making educational opportunities accessible to the wider community.

Educational Outreach Events
As part of our commitment to the community, UI has consistently hosted educational outreach events over the years. Our faculties implement knowledge from their respective disciplines into real-life tools and methods to improve lives not only in our surrounding community, but in Indonesia as a whole
From 22 to 24 October 2025, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA UI) organised Gerakan Cerdas Alam, a community outreach programme held at the Parangtopo Laboratory Complex on the UI Depok Campus. The programme engaged 555 students, comprising 107 elementary school students, 191 junior high school students, and 257 senior high school students. Through educational games, interactive simulations, and scientific presentations, the programme introduced students to biodiversity, ecosystems, waste sorting, and disaster preparedness. These interactive learning activities provided students with opportunities to explore environmental issues and develop awareness of disaster risks.
From 18 to 24 August 2025, Universitas Indonesia (UI), through its Islamic Student Outreach Organisation (SALAM UI), conducted a community outreach programme in Sukabumi Regency under the theme “Transforming Community Health through an Eco-Health Approach”.

As part of our commitment to inclusive education and community engagement, UI conducts educational outreach activities beyond campus to share knowledge and support learning in local communities. Through teaching programmes, student-led community service, and collaborative initiatives involving faculty members, students, and student organisations, UI extends educational opportunities to the wider community. These initiatives include:
