The New Student Admissions process is a regular selection procedure held each cycle to recruit students in alignment with their areas of interest. This process considers the applicants’ qualifications and the available capacity, with several admission pathways. There are three admission pathways: e-Report Selection, Computer-Based Test (CBT), and Scholarship Track. One Day Service (ODS) is a one-day service allowing applicants to become registered students within a day. This service covers all steps from selection registration to the re-enrollment process. All prospective students are given equal opportunity, regardless of ethnicity, religion, race, intergroup background, or nationality

Monitoring diversity in admissions is an integral part of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta’s (UMS) commitment to inclusivity. The university systematically tracks applications and admissions data for underrepresented groups, including low-income students, ethnic minorities, women, non-traditional learners, and students with disabilities. Admissions data are recorded through the Sistem Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru (SPMB UMS), which allows annual analysis of access trends. UMS also supports equitable access through targeted financial assistance, such as the Kartu Indonesia Pintar (KIP) College Program for 54 low-income students and various scholarships benefiting 599 students across departments. These efforts ensure that opportunities for higher education remain open to all.

UMS Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral Scholarship Programs

Promoting equal access and representation in higher education and employment is a strategic priority at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS). The university implements planned actions to recruit students, staff, and faculty from underrepresented backgrounds, particularly those facing financial or social barriers. For student recruitment, UMS provides inclusive pathways through the Kartu Indonesia Pintar (KIP) College Program and several scholarship schemes such as the Tunas Unggul Muhammadiyah Scholarship (BTUM), Kiai Haji Ahmad Dahlan Scholarship, and Hafidz Al-Qur’an Scholarship, which supported 599 recipients in 2024. In staff and faculty recruitment, UMS follows an open and merit-based process guided by equal opportunity policies that ensure fair consideration regardless of gender, ethnicity, or disability status. These efforts reflect UMS’s comprehensive approach to building a diverse and inclusive academic community.

People with disabilities have the right to equal access to education. For that, we always support by providing a number of supporting facilities for people with disabilities.

Disabilities Facilities in UMS

Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta is committed to ensuring comprehensive access for individuals with disabilities. In accordance with PUPR Ministerial Regulation No. 14/2017, we have provided facilities such as wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and elevators in several buildings. Specific classrooms on the ground floor are also designated for easier access in buildings with fewer levels. Our commitment is formalized through the UMS SOP for Disability Services. In addition to optimizing campus facilities, infrastructure, and human resources to support disability services, UMS is also pleased to collaborate with various institutions to expand disability services. These collaborations are outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), agreed upon by both parties as a sign of commitment and dedication to a world without discrimination.
