Widya Mandala Catholic University, commonly abbreviated as WMCU (Indonesian : Universitas Katolik Widya Mandala, UKWM) is a major private Roman Catholic university in Indonesia, located in the heart of Darmo District in Surabaya, East Java - Indonesia.

Contents

Widya Mandala Catholic University is known for Accounting, Food Technology, Chemical Engineering, Pharmacy, Management, and the Doctoral (Ph.D) program in Management. The university is owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Surabaya and is being managed by the Diocese under the Widya Mandala Foundation.

History

The idea of establishing a Catholic Higher Education Foundation started around 1914-1919. At that time, many HBS (Hogere Burger School) graduates were unable to continue their higher education to the Netherlands, due to circumstances regarding the first world war and the resultant transportation barriers to Europe.

During the 1950s, in what became known as the "Catholic College Awakening Era" after the establishment of several Catholic universities in Indonesian cities, Mgr. J. Klooster, CM as the Bishop of Surabaya founded the Widya Mandala Foundation.

Widya Mandala comes from the ancient Javanese language; Mandala means building or place in the sense not only physical and Widya means scholar. So Widya Mandala can be interpreted as a place of education for wise and successful people (scholars). Some people also simplify the meaning of Widya Mandala as a place or container of knowledge.

September 20, 1960 was designated as the anniversary of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya (UKWMS). When it was founded, UKWMS was located at Jalan Dr. Soetomo, Surabaya. Now there are ten faculties, postgraduate programs (S2 and S3), as well as a Secretarial Academy (D3). The activities of the Widya Mandala Catholic University in Surabaya are outlined in the form of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education which consists of Education and Teaching, Research, and Community Service.

As one of the oldest private universities in Surabaya, UKWMS has four campus buildings to support the teaching and learning process. The main campus is located on Jalan Dinoyo 42, inhabited by the Business Faculty, the Communication Science Faculty and the Agricultural Technology Faculty. The second campus is located on Jalan Kalijudan 38, inhabited by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Teacher Training & Education. The third campus is located on Jalan Dinoyo 48, inhabited by the Postgraduate Program. The newest campus building which was inaugurated in 2013 is the Integrated and Comprehensive Health Sciences Campus and is located on Jalan Kalisari Selatan 7 in the Pakuwon City complex. Carrying integrated learning methods across health sciences, on this fourth campus there are the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Faculty of Psychology, the Faculty of Nursing, the Faculty of Philosophy, and the Faculty of Medicine.
