From Academy to University.
More than two decades of telecommunication education in Jakarta: from Akademi Telkom Jakarta (2002) and Institut Teknologi Telkom Jakarta (2021) to Telkom University Jakarta Campus (2023). Within it, the Bachelor of Telecommunication Engineering Study Program has grown and continues to develop.
Our journey
From Akademi Telkom Jakarta to becoming part of Telkom University.
Akademi Telkom Jakarta (Akatel) is officially established
Akademi Teknik Telekomunikasi Sandhy Putra Jakarta was established as a private college in West Jakarta with a D3 Telecommunication Engineering study program. The establishment file was submitted in early 2002 with the support of lecturers from Akademi Telkom Purwokerto. The idea came from the Sandhykara Putra Telkom Foundation because telecommunication programs in DKI Jakarta were still few.
Management transferred to the Telkom Education Foundation
The operator of Akatel Jakarta changed from the Sandhykara Putra Telkom Foundation to the Telkom Education Foundation (YPT), the foundation that also oversees Telkom University.
Institut Teknologi Telkom Jakarta
Based on Ministerial Decree No. 232/E/O/2021, Akatel Jakarta transformed into IT Telkom Jakarta. The S1 Telecommunication Engineering Study Program began its journey together with the establishment of the institute. The institution received an Excellent (Unggul) accreditation (BAN-PT Decree 407/SK/BAN-PT/AK-ISK/PT/2021).
Launch of IT Telkom Jakarta
The launch was held online with Dr. Ir. Agus Achmad Suhendra, M.T. as the first rector (2021–2025). The institute carries the vision of a Global Innovative and Entrepreneurial University with four study programs: D3 Telecommunication Engineering, S1 Telecommunication Engineering, S1 Information Systems, and S1 Information Technology.
Beginning of the merger into Telkom University
The Telkom University National Campus (TUNC) program began on 25 January 2022. The kick-off of the IT Telkom Jakarta merger followed on 10 June 2022.
Joining Telkom University
Through Ministry of Education Decree No. 115/E/O/2023, IT Telkom Jakarta became Telkom University Jakarta Campus, the first institution merged into Telkom University, followed by Surabaya (7 December 2023) and Purwokerto (3 September 2024). The Bachelor of Telecommunication Engineering study program joined the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FTE).
The future of telecommunications from Jakarta
The program grows with three areas of expertise: Wireless Communication and Network, Optical Communication and Network, and Advanced Telecommunications, supported by modern laboratories and an industry network.
One spirit, three names
The faces of the buildings changed along with the institution's status, while the spirit of producing telecommunication talent remains the same.
