AbouT ITB
General Information and History
Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) or Bandung Insitute of Technology or Institute of technology Bandung,
was founded on March 2, 1959.
The present ITB main campus is the site of earlier engineering schools in
Indonesia. Although these institutions of higher learning had their own
individual characteristics and missions, they left influence on developments
leading to the establishment of ITB.
In 1920, Technische Hogeschool (TH) was established in Bandung, which for
a short time, in the middle forties, became Kogyo Daigaku. Not long after
the birth of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, the campus housed the Technical
Faculty (including a Fine Arts Department) of Universitas Indonesia, with
the head office in Jakarta. In the early fifties, a. Faculty of Mathematics
and Natural Sciences, also part of Universitas Indonesia, was established
on the campus.
In 1959, the present lnstitut Teknologi Bandung was founded by the Indonesian
government as an institution of higher learning of science, technology,
and fine arts, with a mission of education, research, and service to the
community.
Government Decree No. 155/2000 pertaining to The Decision on ITB as Legal
Enterprise (Badan Hukum) has opened a new path for ITB to become autonomous.
The status of autonomy implies a freedom for the institution to manage its
own bussiness in an effective and efficient way, and to be fully responsible
for the planning and implementation of all program and activity, and the
quality control for the attainment of its institutional objective. The institution
has also freedom in deciding their measures and taking calculated risks
in facing tight competition and intense pressures.
Location
Bandung, with a population of approximately one and a half million, lies in the mountainous area of West Java, at an altitude of 770 meters. The
ITB main campus, to the north of the town centre, and its other campuses,
