Each faculty produces research at local, national, and international levels. UNIS are eager to build on the strengths of their research, preparing significant amounts of university and government money to support their academics.
From local governments, to private companies and universities at home and abroad, UNIS has a strong history of collaboration. UNIS works with the local government and other institutions in order to develop the level of higher education available around the region.
Particularly impressive is the work that UNIS engineering students have done with the local Tangerang government to design and build houses for the less advantaged population. Having recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding, UNIS continues to work hard to improve the quality of globally oriented and competitive education available in Banten.
All elements of the academic community at UNIS are committed to achieving their vision: “Realization of the best Islamic university in Banten by 2024”.
