About UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya
The inspiration behind the name of the university, Sunan Ampel, was from the eldest member of Indonesia's legendary "Nine Muslim Saints" (Walisanga), who is widely credited with peacefully transforming Islam throughout Java and the rest of the country. By bearing that name, the university has obligation to serve as the region’s and nation’s centre for Islamic civilization and moderation. The main value in developing our academic tradition and sociocultural change is the application of persuasive and harmonious approaches without harming the local environment or surrounds.
The institution offers an integrated curriculum that combines Islamic courses with secular sciences and humanities using the “integrated twin-towers” paradigm. Our university offers 60 study programs ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate studies, placing it in a good position to fulfil international standards and serve a global audience. We are also well-known for
fusing the paradigm of “university-community engagement” with the process of teaching and learning, research and societal empowerment.

Notices
Inclusion in a QS ranking or QS Stars rating or publication on a QS platform/site does not constitute a statement by QS that an institution's qualifications are recognised for academic, professional, regulatory or immigration purposes in every jurisdiction. Students should check the recognition status of a qualification with the relevant national or professional authority in the country where they intend to study or work.
The country/territory designations used across QS rankings, ratings and platforms exist to present and compare higher education data clearly and consistently. They do not express any QS position on sovereignty, recognition, legal status or international boundaries. Where it helps users interpret the data, QS may group institutions according to the higher education system in which they operate, which in most cases corresponds to a country, but not always. Where questions of status or designation arise, QS uses terminology appropriate to the higher education context.
