Study Information Systems at UNPRI, a Top Private University: Become a Technology Expert with a Knowledge of Digital Business, AI, and Social Impact

The Information Systems Study Program at Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI) equips students with technological expertise, artificial intelligence, and digital business understanding to prepare them for data-driven industrial transformation and social inn

UNPRI, Medan – The Faculty of Science and Technology (FAST) at Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI) continues to strengthen its role as a socio-technopreneurship-based university by launching the Bachelor of Information Systems Program, led by Agung Prabowo, S.Kom., M.Kom.. The program, accredited “Very Good” (Baik Sekali), is designed to produce graduates who can integrate technology, data management, and digital business processes — essential competencies for modern organizations to make fast, secure, and socially impactful decisions.

Unlike Informatics Engineering (Computer Science), which focuses on computation theory, algorithms, and software development, Information Systems emphasizes technology in an organizational context — how data is collected, analyzed, used to support business processes, and managed securely to benefit users. In short, Informatics focuses on “how to build” (software/algorithms), while Information Systems focuses on “how technology solves business problems” and human-system interaction. This distinction aligns with the latest international curriculum framework for Information Systems education.

“The latest curriculum guideline for the Information Systems program adopts the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, emphasizing interdisciplinary capabilities such as organizational needs analysis, data management, user-centered design, information security, and data ethics and governance. These competencies are taught through hands-on, practical learning experiences, ensuring that graduates not only understand technology but can also design secure, reliable, and regulatory-compliant solutions,” explained Agung.

He added, “The OBE-based curriculum implemented at UNPRI, especially in the Bachelor of Information Systems Program, is aimed at increasing the relevance of Information Systems in critical sectors such as healthcare and hospital management — a natural fit, considering UNPRI’s reputation as a private university with the largest number of healthcare facilities in Indonesia.”

The connection between Information Systems and the healthcare sector has become one of UNPRI’s strategic focuses. In today’s digital era, hospitals and clinics require Information Systems professionals to develop and maintain electronic medical records, clinical management dashboards, smart devices, and clinical decision support systems. The role of Information Systems experts has become indispensable in this age of digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI). UNPRI’s integrated hospitals and clinics provide students with real-world learning and internship experiences.

At UNPRI, the leading private university in Medan, the Bachelor of Information Systems program leverages interdisciplinary collaboration among eight faculties — including Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Nursing and Midwifery, Law, Economics, Agrotechnology, Psychology, and Education. This enables students to work on real projects such as developing hospital information systems, health data security dashboards, and IoT-based solutions for clinical asset management.

Supported by experienced lecturers and well-equipped laboratories, students are trained in needs analysis, system design, implementation, and evaluation. This combination prepares graduates to work in various industries — from banking, hospitality, and digital startups to healthcare, cybersecurity, and government institutions.

UNPRI’s Information Systems students are not only taught programming and tools but also shaped to become active, innovative, and ethical problem solvers with a socio-technopreneurship mindset and global competitiveness. Enroll now in the Bachelor of Information Systems Program at FAST-UNPRI and experience world-class facilities and modern learning environments.
