Brief introduction of AMERTA

Inaugurated in 2014, AMERTA was successfully conducted for its first batch. All courses are fully delivered in English, and students are complimentarily provided with Indonesian language learning and cultural trips during the programs. Field studies are compulsory in some courses to integrate theoretical perspectives into practice.

AMERTA focuses on the current issues of Indonesia as a developing country in the dynamic nature of globalization through the perspective of natural, health and social sciences. For natural and health sciences, they provide the wide array of knowledge about Indonesian biodiversity in flora and fauna, the dynamics of tropical medicine, and community empowerment in health. While with social  sciences, they offer the dynamics of Indonesian urban culture, creative economy, and society as the sectors that both benefit and suffer from the impact of globalization.
