Since its founding in 1982, IUJ has more than 550 graduates from Indonesia -- the largest source country for IUJ's international graduates. IUJ has been cooperating through scholarships and linkage program with the Indonesia's government institutions such as the National Planning Agency (Bappenas), Ministry of Finance, and the national universities as University of Indonesia, Padjajaran University, and Gajah Mada University.
Considering that only 3.18% of Indonesian civil servants with a Master Degree and only 0.21% who has taken Doctoral Program (Bappenas, 2013), plus the upcoming demographic bonus -- there are still tons of opportunities that IUJ can contribute to the education of young and professional Indonesians.

On the other hand, Alumni can anytime utilize our researches and resources for their professional work," said Gretchen Shinoda, the Director of Alumni Relations (Class of 1989).
