Padjadjaran University, of Universitas Padjadjaran or known by the abbreviation Unpad is one of the public universities in Indonesia. Unpad was established on September 11, 1957, with a campus location in Bandung. Currently, Unpad is a State University of Legal Entities. Government Regulation No. 80 of 2014 concerning the Establishment of Unpad as a State University of Legal Entities was signed by the President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, on October 17, 2014.

PTN This Legal Entity is listed in Law No. 12 of 12 on Higher Education. In article 65 of the Law mentioned, the implementation of higher education autonomy can be given selectively based on performance by the Minister to PTN. The form of autonomy in question consists of PTN which applies the pattern of Financial Management of Public Service Agency (PK BLU) or PTN Legal Entity. Unpad has been implementing PK BLU autonomy since September 15, 2008, and now has a mandate to increase autonomy to PTN Badan Hukum. The government’s mandate to Unpad to become PTN Legal Entity is the “fruit” of the long struggle of Unpad managers to maintain the quality and achievements of their students at the national and international levels.
