About Chinese Departement

Starting from a belief in improving services to the community regarding education,  BINUS UNIVERSITY  opened a new study program in 2002, namely Chinese Literature. We anticipate that using Mandarin as the language of instruction will pique the interest of high school and senior high school students in pursuing tertiary education and enhancing their Mandarin skills.

Starting to open a new page in the world of education, BINUS UNIVERSITY’s Chinese literature study program began operating in Indonesia with a C accreditation. Of course, it requires hard work and fighting spirit to introduce a new study program at  BINUS UNIVERSITY . There are many questions regarding the quality of the lecturers, the courses given, and the professional prospects of graduates after completing the study period in the study program, which has just started operating. However, this did not reduce the enthusiasm of the lecturers and staff who are part of the Chinese literature study program.

After the first 3 years of operation, this study program applied to the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) to renew their accreditation as one of the conditions for a permit to run a study program in Indonesia. Thanks to the team’s hard work, the Chinese literature study program received B accreditation from BAN-PT. Of course, there has been an increase in education quality, which has had an impact on increasing the number of students choosing Chinese literature study programs.

At a glance, BAN PT is the National Accreditation Body for Higher Education, commonly called BAN-PT, which is a non-departmental institution or institution under the auspices of the Indonesian Education Department that has the authority to assess the quality of education provided by each study program within a university. To improve the quality of education in Indonesia at the tertiary level, this institution will evaluate the performance of all study programs at each university every five years in accordance with the results of a decision letter from the institution. We will process the evaluation results into an output value known as accreditation.

The accreditation process carried out by this institution, apart from assessing the performance results of each existing study program, also evaluates the results of direct observations regarding the performance of the study program in providing educational services and determines the appropriateness of the quality of the study program to obtain accreditation, which will be recognized publicly. national. The mechanism for the stages in the accreditation process begins with the preparation of documents in the form of forms. A form is a collection of administrative data from a study program. The evaluation process will continue with the documents sent to BAN-PT, and the results will determine whether or not the study program deserves accreditation.

While successfully maintaining B accreditation while active in the world of education, the Chinese literature study program continues to improve the quality of lecturers both from an academic and non-academic perspective, as well as the quality of students, so that they are able to compete in the global world. The Chinese literature study program has proven its quality, with many graduates working in national and multi-national companies. Before the permit to run this study program expired, it again applied for accreditation renewal in 2013. We made extensive preparations to collect student data from various units at BINUS University. Each unit provided various support to help prepare before entering the visitation stage by BAN-PT.

Finally, BINUS University’s Chinese literature study program achieved A accreditation thanks to the hard work and support of all units, and BAN-PT announced the results on Friday (09/01) via the official BAN-PT website. BINUS University’s Chinese literature study program is the first and only study program to achieve A accreditation. It is a big responsibility to maintain this achievement.
