On August 5, 1982, with the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia dated September 24, 1983 Number 0400/0/1983, I.T.K.S. changed its name into Soegijapranata Catholic University.

At its inception, Soegijapranata Catholic University (SCU), located on Jl. Pandanaran 100, Semarang consists of three faculties namely Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Law, and Faculty of Economics. In line with the development of the university, since mid-1990s all SCU's activities have been centered on the Bendan Dhuwur Campus and until now the Bendhan Dhuwur Campus has become the center of the university's academic activities.
The name "Soegijapranata" is adapted from the name Mgr. Alb. Soegijapranata, SJ, a priest and the first native Archbishop who became Indonesia's national hero and figure. Soegijapranata was born in Surakarta, November 25, 1896. He entered the novices of the Society of Jesus in Mariendaal, Grave, the Netherlands on September 27, 1920. He was ordained as a pcapriest on August 15, 1931, and as an archbishop of Semarang on September 20, 1940. His struggle and attention in the world of education is the legacy of his lecturer, Father Frans van Lith, SJ. One of his efforts to improve education was to help increase the quality of two oldest Catholic universities, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung, and Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta, that were of equal status with the state universities. Taking the life story of Mgr. Albertus Soegijapranata, a movie entitled “Soegija” was appointed to the big screen in 2012. This movie was directed by Garin Nugroho and received a very good response where more than 500,000 spectators watched this movie in theaters throughout Indonesia.
Through the name "Soegijapranata", Soegijapranata Catholic University wishes to continue the spirit, the struggles and the ideals of Mgr. Alb. Soegijapranata, SJ.
As one of the leading universities in Indonesia, international cooperation is also woven by the Soegijapranata Catholic University with the best educational institutions in all corners of the world. Collaborations include: memorandum of understanding, student and faculty exchanges, scholarships, value sharing, and international conference participation. In addition, SCU involvement in several network of international universities e.g. ASEACCU (Association of South East and East Asia Catholic Colleges and Universities) and ACUCA (Association of Christian Universities and Colleges in Asia) further expands the university's affiliations so that programs such as student/staff exchange and international conferences become a mandatory agenda in each semester.
