History

Universitas  Pembangunan  Nasional  “Veteran”  Yogyakarta  (UPNVY)  is one  of  the  oldest  universities  in  Indonesia.  It  was  founded  on  October 8th, 1958 by the decree issued by the Veterans Ministry of Republic of Indonesia  No.  139/Kpts/tahun  1958.  It  started  as  an  academy  by  the name  of  Akademi  Pembangunan  Nasional  (APN)  “Veteran”  Yogyakarta. The  academy  was  established  to  serve  as  an  active  monument  of  the Indonesian independence veterans’ struggle.

After  going  through  several  stages  of  development,  APN  “Veteran” Yogyakarta was developed into Perguruan Tinggi Pembangunan Nasional (PTPN) “Veteran” by the joint decree of the Veterans and Demobilization Ministry and the Higher Education and Science Ministry No. 140/Kpts/1965 on July 30th, 1965. And finally, PTPN “Veteran” was developed into UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta in 1977.

The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences was established on September 6th,  1993.  This  faculty  is  the  youngest  faculty  founded  to  respond  the needs of society, along with other older faculties, namely Faculty of Mineral Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Industrial Technology, and Faculty of Economics.

The  Department  of  International  Relations  is  the  first  department established in this faculty. Considering the external development and the market needs, in the 1995/1996 academic year, two more departments were established, namely the Department of Commercial Administration (later changed into the Department of Business Administration) and The Department of Journalistic Communication (later becomes Communication Department). The two new departments started first lecture on August 26th, 1995.

Ever since the establishment of the three departments within the faculty, there has been a rapid development. Currently, the International Relations Department and the Communication Department have acquired the status of ”Accredited B”, and the Business Administration Department achieved the status of ”Accredited A” from the National Accreditation Board (BAN).
