The LPDP scholarships are PG only, and the number of UK HEIs involved in joint/double degrees at PG level is very low. However, the LPDP see this as an important model through which to provide students with international education whilst supporting Indonesian universities both in terms of revenue and raising quality, as does Ristek Dikti. As such it is a model which UK HEIs might consider as a mode of delivery in Indonesia.
