Yogyakarta – Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) took part in Global EduFair (GEF) 2026 at the Gelanggang Inovasi dan Kreativitas (GIK), Universitas Gadjah Mada. The fair brought together more than 50 international universities and faculties, with panel discussions and information on scholarship opportunities. It ran alongside the European Higher Education Fair, which drew many students from Yogyakarta and beyond.

At its booth, UIII introduced itself as a world-class postgraduate institution in Depok, West Java. Visitors learned about the university’s English-language master’s and doctoral programs, its international academic community, and its campus environment designed for research and intellectual exchange.

UIII was founded to become a center of excellence for Islamic scholarship and the social sciences, drawing students and faculty from Indonesia and around the world. Its approach combines rigorous academic training with Indonesia’s tradition of moderate, inclusive, and pluralistic Islam.

Head of Academic, Dr. Muammar Kadafi, said that the event was an effort to raise UIII’s profile in Indonesia. As a new university, UIII needs greater visibility, and this event was the right place to achieve that.

“I’m really happy with the enthusiasm of the audience at this event. They asked all kinds of questions about joining the UIII family, and we hope this will make them even more eager to join,” he said.

He also said that Yogyakarta is home to a large student population from universities, schools, and student organizations across the region. For UIII, the fair was an opportunity to meet UGM graduates and final-year students planning their postgraduate studies, and to build partnerships with institutions in the city.
