About Universitas Islam Malang (UNISMA)
Universitas Islam Malang (UNISMA) stands as a testament to the visionary aspirations of Islamic scholars and public figures from Nahdlatul Ulama in Malang. Founded with a dream of creating a prestigious and independent institution, UNISMA's journey began with the establishment of the Sunan Giri Foundation on March 27, 1981. Rooted in the principles of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah, a committee of nine Islamic scholars laid the foundation of the university, and the Faculty of Education (Tarbiyah) became its cornerstone. This faculty evolved from its early days as the Islamic Education Academy and later merged with faculties of Agriculture and other disciplines under the Universitas Islam Malang.
Over the years, UNISMA has grown significantly, officially recognized by Indonesia's Ministry of Education and Culture in 1983. It has since expanded to offer a broad spectrum of programs across 10 undergraduate faculties, including Science, Engineering, Islamic Studies, Medicine, Economics, Law, Agriculture, and Animal Husbandry, among others. The university has also established a reputation for excellence in postgraduate education, offering Master’s and Ph.D. programs in fields such as Law, Animal Husbandry, and Islamic Studies.
Today, UNISMA boasts over 10,000 active students, including more than hundreds international students, and prides itself on its distinguished faculty. With the prestigious Unggul (Excellent) accreditation from Indonesia's National Accreditation Board (BAN-PT), and international recognition through ASIIN and FIBAA accreditation from Germany, UNISMA stands at the forefront of higher education in Indonesia. The university’s modern facilities, including a dedicated hospital, laboratories, student dormitories, and sport centers, further enhance its appeal as a center of learning and research. UNISMA continues to cultivate an environment where academic excellence, Islamic values, and community engagement thrive.
