Greetings from the Rector

Welcome to UIII

In 2016, to preserve and promote Islamic culture and civilization, including Indonesia’s rich and diverse ones, Indonesia had taken an important step by establishing a new university called Indonesian International Islamic University (IIIU). UIII, or locally called Universitas Islam International Indonesia (UIII), was founded under the mandate of Presidential Regulation Number 57 of 2016 on the Establishment of the Indonesian International Islamic University as a higher education with International standards. It is hoped to be a leading Islamic higher education institution in the fields of Islamic studies, education, political and social sciences, arts and humanities, law, economy and finance, applied and fine arts, and science and technology.

On June 5, 2018, in a formal ceremony during the holy month of Ramadan, President Jokowi Widodo laid the first stone of the building on the vast and green area of 143 hectares to be used as a new campus, located in Cimanggis, Depok, West Java. He gave a very inspiring speech to the audience, emphasizing the necessity for Indonesia to develop and produce scientific knowledge of Islam, not only for Indonesia but for the world.
