[edit] History

Through the initiative of wealthy citizens of West Java, the Universitas Padjadjaran was established on September 11, 1957, and ratified through Government Regulation No. 37 thirteen days later.

When established, the University had only four departments. Now it has developed into several departments comprising of fifteen undergraduate programs, a number of specialist programs, nine doctorate programs, twenty Master's Degree programs, nine extension programs, one four-year diploma program (D4), and seven three-year diploma programs (D3). Initially established in Bandung, currently almost all of undergraduate departments have been relocated to Jatinangor, a town near Sumedang.
