Udayana looks to enroll 4,000 new students

DENPASAR: Bali's sole state university, Udayana University, announced it was looking to enroll 4,000 new students for the next academic term.

"We are ready and prepared to accommodate as many as 4,000 new students this year," university rector Prof. I Wayan Bhakta said.

The university offers 12 undergraduate and several post-graduate programs. In recent years, several undergraduate programs such as medicine, information technology and economics, have became the university's most popular programs, drawing thousands of new students while several programs, such as Balinese language, attract less than 100 freshmen.

"New students will be screened through a general enrollment test and special screening procedures for talented students," he added.

The university has two campuses, with the second in Jimbaran, located on top of a hill 27 kilometers south of the first campus in downtown Denpasar. -JP
