My time at UPH has been a voyage of self-discovery and personal empowerment.

My journey of studying at Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) has been incredibly positive. The academic environment at UPH creates an inclusive and inspiring atmosphere, allowing me to harmonize my academic activities with personal growth. What stands out the most is UPH’s commitment to being a Christ-centered university. This commitment signifies a unique approach to education that integrates faith, knowledge, and character development. UPH has nurtured an environment where academic pursuits and values coexist harmoniously, enhancing the significance of my educational experience.

UPH, for me, is not just an institution;  it is a portal to a realm of boundless possibilities. I am  grateful for the privilege of pursuing higher education here. The privilege of studying in UPH presents extend far beyond classroom learning. It opens doors for diverse experiential learning such as engaging in real design projects, becoming a student assistant, and a variety of other opportunities. These opportunities coupled with mentorship, guidance, and trust instilled by the esteemed faculty members, have further enriched the educational experience at UPH.

UPH’s holistic approach to education equips students not only with academic proficiency but also with a spectrum of experiences that contribute to personal and professional growth.
