Eight modules. you take six.
Four core modules for everyone, plus two from the track you choose. Taught, examined and credited by Universitas Udayana. 30 ECTS total. The academic documents come from Universitas Udayana; we help you provide them to your home registrar.
Your specialisation · pick a track
Civil Engineering track: you add Earthquake Science and Urban Transportation to the four core modules.
01
SEA Renewable Energy & Sustainability Core+ details
Bio-energy, solar, wind, hydro and geothermal read for the tropics, with the technical, ecological and economic case for each and fieldwork at real renewable-energy sites.
5 ECTS
02
Natural Materials & Materials of the Tropics Core+ details
Timber, bamboo and bio-materials of Indonesia: their mechanical and structural properties, and green, low-waste ways to put them to work in engineering.
5 ECTS
03
Student Project Core+ details
Your own research question, chosen with a professor, comparing a Bali engineering challenge with home. Weekly consultations, a paper of at least twenty pages, a final presentation.
5 ECTS
04
Indonesian Language, History & Culture Core+ details
Functional Bahasa Indonesia for daily life, from greetings to shopping, plus the cultural context that makes the rest of the semester make sense.
5 ECTS
05
Earthquake Science Civil track+ details
Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Ground motion, seismic hazard analysis and structures designed to survive an earthquake, worked through to modern building codes.
5 ECTS
06
Urban Transportation Civil track+ details
Urban transport across Southeast Asia with Bali as the live case study: road networks, public transport, non-motorised mobility, road safety and sustainable development.
5 ECTS
05
Manufacturing Process Mechanical & Electrical track+ details
Conventional and non-conventional manufacturing, taught through the making of Balinese gamelan instruments: casting, metallurgy, heat treatment and process design.
Technology across traditional and modern industry: green technology, ICT, entrepreneurship and a fieldwork visit to a working industrial site.
5 ECTS
= 30
ECTS, a full semester of accredited work. Transcript and Letter of Completion from Universitas Udayana travel home with you.
Workshops & excursions include

Your Student Project: a real engineering question compared across Bali and home, backed by a paper of at least twenty pages and presented to faculty and peers.
The paper
Up to 30 ECTS, black on white
An official certificate and academic transcript from Universitas Udayana documenting up to 30 ECTS. Your home institution alone decides recognition, so confirm this with your registrar. A certificate needs at least 20 ECTS; the full 30 is recommended.
The people
Different perspectives
Students who arrive with different backgrounds, engineering fields and levels. You arrive alone and leave with a group chat that never goes quiet.
The shift
A new way to read a build
Seismic ground, tropical materials, renewable energy. Once you have engineered on the Ring of Fire, you read every structure differently.

Your host university
Bali's oldest state university.
Universitas Udayana is Bali's oldest state university, founded in 1962 and home to more than 28,000 students. Your Engineering modules are taught at the Faculty of Engineering on the Sudirman Campus in Denpasar, and the university is recognized by the Indonesian Ministry of Education. Its faculty teaches, examines and credits your modules, issues your transcript, and sponsors your student visa.
Modules, eligibility, semester format, location, dates and visa.
How many modules are there, and what do I choose?
Eight modules are offered. You take six: four core modules for everyone, plus two from a track, either Civil Engineering or Mechanical & Electrical Engineering. Completed modules earn up to 30 ECTS, the workload of a full semester. A certificate needs at least 20 ECTS; we recommend the full 30.
Is this a study abroad / semester abroad program?
Yes. The 15-week format is an engineering semester abroad at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Udayana. The certificate and academic transcript document up to 30 ECTS. Your home institution alone decides whether and how they count, so confirm this with your registrar before applying.
Do I need an engineering background?
The program is for students in engineering and technical fields, ideally with at least one year of relevant study behind you. Civil, mechanical, electrical and environmental engineering, renewable energies, mechatronics, business engineering and urban studies all fit. Bachelor, master or diploma level are all welcome.
Where in Southeast Asia is this, and why Bali?
Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, with the Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Udayana. Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, so seismic design, tropical materials, renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure are studied where they actually apply, on real Indonesian sites.
When does the semester run?
Twice a year. Winter Class runs September to December, Summer Class runs April to July, each with a two-week break in the middle. Both align with most international university semester calendars.
What about the student visa?
All international students study on an E-30 student visa, sponsored and applied for by Universitas Udayana. Studying on a tourist visa is not permitted in Indonesia. For Summer Class 2027 the visa is included in the tuition; we guide the whole process after you register.
