About Energy Saving Building

Focusing on Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Indonesia had ample opportunity to develop ICT for the main capital to develop ICT is creativity. ICT experts in Indonesia are still few and the ICT companies need them a lot. Focusing on ICT, UMN arranges the ICT-based curricula for all programs. UMN students are provided with knowledge about and orientation to the development of ICT in order for them to be ready to face the changes, or even to make the changes.

In the Information Systems study program, I learned how to make programs relate to other production systems, as well as how pursue an effective and efficient production cycle. I also got an e-business course. I admit that the curriculum at UMN applies a balanced study of theory and practices and that it really helped me in comprehend the Batik Culture business.
