Institut Teknologi Sumatera

Institut Teknologi Sumatera (Itera) is a state university located in Lampung, Indonesia. Itera was established based on Presidential Regulation No. 124 of 2014. It is currently organized into two academic Schools that include Science, Engineering, Infrastructure and regional technology. The Institute has a single campus in which many of the classrooms and laboratories are in an interconnected group of buildings that facilitates informal interchange among departments and disciplines. With few exceptions, faculty appointments are in one or more of the Institute's academic departments, but interdisciplinary laboratories, centers, and programs provide support in numerous fields extending beyond the traditional boundaries of a single department. Many faculty members are associated not only with their home departments but also with one or more of these interdisciplinary activities. The academic programs of undergraduate students are based upon a core of general Institute and departmental requirements, and most undergraduate students major in specific departments. There are ample opportunities, however, for students to share in the interdisciplinary activities of the faculty with whom they work, to major in fields that combine more than one discipline, or to develop an individual program of study in collaboration with a faculty advisor.
