Continuing your studies after completing your bachelor’s degree is a big step. You can gain many things by continuing your education to a master’s degree, such as promotions and salary increases, deeper knowledge, and expanding your network.

However, of the many campuses that provide master’s degrees, you still need to sort and choose the best and most suitable campus and major for your career. One of the best private universities in Jakarta is Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN). In its 18 years of existence, UMN has produced graduates that are sought after by the industry.

So, aside from that, what benefits can you get if you take a master’s degree at UMN? There are at least six benefits that you can experience when joining UMN’s master’s program. Let’s take a look together. 

1. The majors are up-to-date with the times

Yes, UMN has two study programs that are up-to-date with the times. 

The first is UMN’s Master of Technology Management (Magister Manajemen Teknologi/MMT). MMT is the only MMT study program in Indonesia that emphasizes learning about innovation and the latest technology in management combined with entrepreneurial aspects. The study program was developed due to the rapid development of information and communication technology in various aspects of people’s lives.

UMN’s other master’s program, the Master of Communication Science (Magister Ilmu Komunikasi/MIKOM), was created because the industry needs human resources who can explain and solve various kinds of strategic communication problems in marketing and corporate communication. 

Hence, MIKOM UMN provides two concentrations: Digital Corporate Communication and Digital Marketing Communication. Both concentrations are oriented towards understanding and skills in communication, corporations, management, business, and digital technology.

2. UMN’s master’s programs and campuses are accredited “Excellent”

It is no secret that UMN has held the “Excellent” institutional accreditation status several times. The most updated national institutional accreditation given by the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) was in 2023.

In addition, UMN’s MMT and MIKOM Master’s Programs, which have only been running for a few years, have succeeded in receiving “Excellent” accreditation. UMN’s MMT program received “Excellent” accreditation in May 2023, while UMN’s MIKOM program received “Excellent” accreditation in February 2024.

Not all majors can achieve this “Excellent” accreditation, which is the highest rating obtained by universities or study programs that meet BAN-PT’s accreditation criteria.

3. Has a business incubator

There is good news for those with a high entrepreneurial spirit who want your start-up business. UMN has a business incubator called “Skystar Ventures”, which collaborates with well-known organizations such as Kompas Gramedia, ASEAN Business Incubator Network, RISTEKDIKTI, UBI GLOBAL, and others. 

Since 2016, the Ministry of Research and Technology has also awarded Skystar Ventures the best incubator in Indonesia for mentoring and coaching tenants.

Skystar Ventures has an incubation program for UMN students. Through this program, startups created by UMN students receive assistance from the best mentors and practitioners in relevant fields.

4. Being under the auspices of Kompas Gramedia Group

Being one of the subsidiaries of Kompas Gramedia allows Universitas Multimedia Nusantara to gain access to teaching staff, both academics and practitioners, who are competent in their fields.

For information, Kompas Gramedia, established in 1963, is one of the largest media companies in Indonesia. Besides owning Kompas Newspaper, Kompas Gramedia has various business units, including Kompas TV, Kompas.com, Radio Sonora, Tribun Network, hotel chains, event organizers, and industries.

5. Lectures supported by complete campus facilities 

In addition to competent teaching staff and an up-to-date curriculum, students must be supported by complete campus facilities. Thus, the learning gained during college can be maximized.
