What people ask
before saying yes.

Semester programs run fifteen weeks (30 ECTS). Short courses run from one to four weeks (10 to 12 ECTS). Tailor-Made programs for groups are custom in length, from 2 to 15 weeks.

30 ECTS records the workload of a full semester. Rough workload comparisons can help institutions in other credit systems assess it, but your home institution alone decides recognition. Confirm that decision before you apply; we provide the academic documentation it requests.

Yes, all teaching and all exams are in English. The cohorts are international.

Most participants come from a related field, but the programs are open to graduates, professionals and serious career-changers. If your field is far from the program, add a short paragraph in your application explaining where you're coming from.

Yes. Our partner institutions are accredited under Indonesia's national system, BAN-PT, and each hands you the paperwork your home registrar will ask for. PIB College is additionally listed in Germany's Anabin database for study-abroad recognition.

Tuition depends on the program, intake and current price phase. The current figure is shown on each program page and on Dates & Deadlines, based on the latest published course-data snapshot. Included: registration fee, all module excursions, on-site student support and the transcript. Accommodation, flights and food are separate.

It's part of tuition, not on top, and it is refundable when you cancel more than 8 weeks before your intake, minus a €100 processing fee.

Many students fund part of their program through a national grant or their home university’s international office, and we provide every document they ask for: a certificate of acceptance and a program description with dates, credits and content. National schemes like Germany’s Auslands-BAföG or DAAD PROMOS scholarships, Austria’s Auslandsbeihilfe, Lånekassen in Norway, CSN in Sweden, Dutch studiefinanciering, Australia’s OS-HELP loan or US federal aid processed through your home university can support recognised study abroad; your funding office has the final word. Start early, processing takes months.

Each intake runs through price phases: Early Bird, Regular, Late, and for some intakes a VIP window before all of them. Your fee is fixed by the phase on the day you register, and each phase has a set price and a set end date. Early Bird is the lowest of the three, Late the highest.

Yes. Once your registration is confirmed, the remaining tuition can be split into a payment plan, as long as it's settled by 8 weeks before your intake. Payment runs through our online payment portal, which accepts cards, PayPal and other methods in several currencies; we don't process tuition by direct bank transfer or issue invoices in USD.

Cancel more than 8 weeks before your program starts and every euro of tuition you've paid is refunded, plus part of the registration fee. The refund tapers closer to your intake: 50% four to eight weeks out, 25% two to four weeks out, none inside two weeks. Full schedule on Admissions →

Every program runs on a student visa, sponsored by your host institution, which applies on your behalf. Programs at Universitas Udayana use the E30; programs at IDB Bali and PIB College use the C9 as standard, with E30 available on request. That applies to the short courses too, and a tourist visa or visa on arrival is never an option for studying. Whether the visa cost is included in tuition depends on program and intake; each program page states it.

Most students live in shared villas or guesthouses in Canggu or Umalas; programs at IDB Bali also offer student coliving in Denpasar. We send you our map of places past students recommend when your spot is confirmed, and put you in the community group where the cohort teams up on houses.

Most students do. The cohort is small and international, and we connect you with your peers before the course starts, so by week two it doesn't feel solo.

Most participants are between 19 and 30, but there's no strict cap. Past cohorts have included graduates and professionals well into their thirties and beyond.

Yes, international health insurance is mandatory, both for entering Indonesia and for the program itself. It needs to cover your entire stay including arrival and departure days, outpatient and inpatient treatment, and medical evacuation, with 24/7 English-language emergency support.

There's no obligatory vaccination policy for entering Indonesia, but it's worth checking your routine immunisations are up to date before you travel. Hepatitis A and B and Typhoid are strongly recommended, and Japanese Encephalitis is worth considering for a longer or rural stay. See a doctor or travel clinic about six weeks before you fly, since some vaccines need more than one dose over time.

You can. We share a curated map of housing recommended by past students, and you're welcome to book from it, book independently, or team up with your cohort in the community group beforehand; we don't assign roommates. A housing partner also handles bookings for some of these places directly.

It's free for every student. Register at least two weeks before you fly, using the pickup form we send by email, and a driver will meet you at the airport's information desk and take you straight to your accommodation. Arriving as a group only needs one form for everyone.

By the next working day at the latest. Every application is reviewed personally.

Application windows close roughly three months before each intake, and prices rise by phase. The single best move is applying early. Current deadlines are on each program page and in the bar at the top of this site.
