6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta is a public university in Indonesia that suits students looking for a state institution in Yogyakarta with a strong teacher-education identity. It is a practical option if you want to study in a large national system and are checking a university that is known for education-focused study.

  2. What you can study

    The university is described as a teacher education institution, and it was previously connected to teacher training and education as a separate institution. A detailed programme catalogue is not published in the information available, so check the official website for current degrees, faculties, and subject areas.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should check the official website for the current application route, entry requirements, deadlines, and any document translation or legalization rules. The university’s admissions office should confirm whether you need to apply directly, what proof of previous study is required, and whether there are programme-specific conditions.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the information available; confirm the current cost with its admissions office. Living costs in Yogyakarta will depend on housing, transport, and personal spending, so budget for those separately.

  5. Coming from abroad

  6. How it compares

    Indonesia has 194 universities, so UNY sits within a large and competitive national higher-education system. Its main differentiator is its public status and its stronger association with teacher education, which can matter more than general size when you are comparing options.
