UPH Surabaya: the Global Gate to Eastern Indonesia

Lippo Group has been well known as the leaders in township and retail business. One of their remarkable project in East Java is the City of Tomorrow or Cito. At this site, there are buildings for business, mall, hotel, and a university. The university is Universitas Pelita Harapan or UPH, which is under Yayasan Pendidikan Pelita Harapan.

UPH Surabaya was established to be the gate towards eastern Indonesia. As UPH Jakarta has been successfully brought the global practice to western Indonesia, including Jakarta, Medan, etc, UPH Surabaya is aimed to reach eastern Indonesia such as Makassar, Ambon, Bali, Kupang, and even Papua. This idea comes from its founder James T. Riady who is also the CEO of Lippo Group.

With growing need of education, UPH Surabaya could be one of the solution. A university with global practice and many opportunities of scholarship.
