These Islamic values are the spirit of UNISSULA. It has 11 faculties with 39 study programs consisting of Diploma, Bachelor, Master, Doctorate, and Profession Programs.

The History of UNISSULA
Sultan Agung Islamic University popularly known as UNISSULA which stands for Universitas Islam Sultan Agung was established by Yayasan Badan Wakaf Sultan Agung (YBWSA) on Dhu al-Hijjah 16th, 1381 H which coincided with May 20th, 1962. The university was named after the national hero of Sultan Agung (literally, “Great Sultan”)  as the third Sultan who ruled Mataram Sultanate from 1613 to 1645. The King, Sultan Agung Adi Prabu Hanyakrakusuma, was born in Kotagede (now becomes part of Jogjakarta) in 1593. During his leadership, Mataram was a great sultanate, developed rapidly, and eventually became the largest kingdom in Java and Indonesia of its time.

There were several reasons for selecting the name of Sultan Agung as the name of the University. First, Sultan Agung was a great leader who considerably loved his nation and country. He was a symbol of nationalism. Second, he was tremendously persistent against colonialism. Third, he was a religious Sultan with noble character and was able to implement religious life through acceptable acculturation across his territory. This was not a surprise that his dedication as a patriot as well as a humanist made him an Indonesian national hero that this was officially reinforced with presidential decree No. 106/TK/1975 on November 3rd, 1975.

By adopting the name “Sultan Agung”, UNISSULA expects that the spirit of struggle against colonialism and for national development can be maintained and kept alive through the provision of high quality education with Islamic values.

Today, UNISSULA has 31 Bachelor programs, 7 Master Programs, and 3 Doctorate Programs on the fields of Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Law, Economics, Islamic Studies, Nursing, Industrial Technology, Language and Communication, Education, and Psychology. All programs are accredited by The National Accreditation Agency for Higher Education (BAN-PT).

BudAI (Budaya Akademik Islami - Academic Islamic Culture)
UNISSULA as a leading Islamic University has announced a philosophical tagline for its existence in education namely “Bismillah, membangun generasi khaira ummah“ or “In the name of Allah, raising the generation of the best people”. The tagline is inspired by the Holy Qur’an Surah Ali Imran verse 110  as saying  “You are the best nation produced (as an example) for mankind, you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah.”

Islamic Academic Culture – better known as BUDAI which stands for Budaya Akademik Islami was then declared for the first time on August 18th, 2005 and adopted as educational strategies to implement and achieve the values of generation of the best people. The strategies include ruhiyah reinforcement and strengthening of science and technology. The reinforcement of ruhiyah covers the implementation of iman (belief), worship and morals implemented in the form of civilization reform by implementing  5 movements namely prayer in congregation,  Islamic outfit, staying clean and purified (thaharah), positive role models, hospitality and improvement of life quality. Whereas, for strengthening of science and technology, the university decided to implant the spirit of iqra’ to develop literacy culture; develop science and technology based on Islamic values, Islamic Learning Society, and appreciation of science and technology.

For UNISSULA, education is an act and process of nurturing as well as naturing of values; therefore, education on Islamic campus is about the application of Islamic values on overall campus life and carried out by all campus residents. For that reason, UNISSULA builds and provides infrastructures and facilities to facilitate and support the education process so that the objectives of education can be achieved. The campus atmosphere is created to develop academic and scientific tradition as a core of the development of Islamic Learning Society. In the future, Islamic education must be able to regain the glory that has been achieved by earlier Islamic education. Thus, it is necessary to build an educational society with a conducive atmosphere of worship and academic, by establishing an Islamic Learning Society. The Islamic Learning Society is a campus community that always upholds Islamic values, and uses Islam as a way of life for all the academic community, a source of inspiration, motivation, as well as a filter in the scientific and cultural activities. Teaching and learning activities with strong Islamic values colours the atmosphere of the campus. The interactions created between lecturers and students, among lecturers, and among students, always reflect a pleasant and joyful learning interaction. In the end, the Islamic Learning Society is the result of the steady implementation of Islamic Academic Culture (BudAi).

Alumni
Education in higher education pragmatically refers to an effort to raise qualified and competitive human resources. The term competitive means that higher education can create alumni who are able to meet work demand which is getting tighter, or to create their own job field with their creativity. High and low absorption in the world of work or capability in creating jobs is a parameter that is often used to assess the quality of a higher education. A higher education must take those two demands into account no matter how big and good it is.

It becomes something to consider seriously by Unissula either through its educational concept by making self-approach with demands of the time or through creating Almuni Family Association or Ikatan Keluarga Alumni (IKA Unissula). IKA Unissula is expected not only to be able to establish kinship and familiarity, but also to bridge alumni who have no job. It is the noble duty which will be reached by the existence of IKA. Unissula considers the concept as something important to answer demands producing qualified alumni. Because of the association, something impossible will turn to possible and heavy things can be light.

Currently, Unissula alumni have reached approximately 47,479 members as of October 31, 2020 spreading throughout Indonesia and some have worked abroad. The alumni decide their life choices, whether they work as Civil Servants, Politicians, Academics, Professions, not a few who choose to become entrepreneurs. The Chairperson of IKA UNISSULA for the period 2021-2026 is dr. Agus Ujianto, MSi. Med. SpB.
