In a digital era that demands flexibility, higher education is no longer limited by space and time. Universitas Terbuka (UT) is present as a solution for those who want to gain knowledge without leaving their busy lives, including artists and public figures. One of those who has now joined as a new UT student is Indonesian diva and member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Kris Dayanti, a.k.a KD.
KD recently participated in the New Student Orientation (OSMB) of UT Jakarta on March 9, 2025 at the Universitas Terbuka Convention Center (UTCC), South Tangerang. With enthusiasm, she began her journey as a student of the Government Science Study Program at UT.
Limitless Learning with Flexible System
As a State University (PTN) with an Open and Distance Learning system, UT offers convenience for anyone to study without having to come to class every day. Students can study anytime, anywhere, without sacrificing work or other activities.
This is the main reason for Kris Dayanti in choosing UT. Her busy schedule as a singer, politician, and mother, of course, demands good time management. With UT’s flexibility, she is optimistic that she can balance education and career.
Quoted from kumparan.com, Kris Dayanti expressed her high enthusiasm when participating in this OSMB.
“This OSMB at Universitas Terbuka certainly provides enthusiasm, because of the great enthusiasm of prospective students. It is hoped that later they will become professional students, who can think broadly with a better perspective, not based on one science alone,” said Kris Dayanti.
Proven Quality, Not Second-Rate
In addition to being flexible, the quality of education at UT has also been tested. As a Legal Entity State University (PTNBH), UT has academic standards equivalent to other universities in Indonesia. The curriculum is prepared by considering industry needs and the development of science. UT continues to innovate in providing quality education that is recognized nationally and internationally.
Quoted from kumparan.com, the Director of UT Jakarta, Ir. Edward Zubir, M.M. emphasized that joining UT is the right choice.
“UT has received Excellent (A) Accreditation from BAN-PT, accreditation from AAOU, certification from ICDE, achievements from FIBAA, and various other accreditation institutions,” he explained.
With the status as a Legal Entity State University (PTNBH), it allows us to be more adaptive in responding to the educational needs of the community, including in the opening and development of study programs.
“For example, such as in the case of opening a new study program or closing a study program. So you can open and close, and don’t have to take as long as the status of other universities,” said Edward.
Main Choice for Artists, Gen Z, and Professionals
Not only Kris Dayanti, many other public figures choose UT as a place to pursue education. This proves that UT is the main choice for those who want to remain productive while completing higher education.
With a digital-based learning system and more affordable fees, UT is increasingly relevant for Gen Z, professional workers, and the general public who want to study without obstacles. UT students can learn independently and interactively through various online platforms. This makes UT an ideal choice for those who want to study with a more flexible method and in accordance with modern lifestyles.
Study Without Drama, Bright Future
UT is committed to continuing to open access to education for all. There are no age or domicile restrictions for those who want to become UT students. With more affordable fees compared to other universities, UT provides opportunities for anyone to obtain quality higher education.
With the slogan “Making Higher Education Open to All”, UT provides opportunities for anyone, from anywhere, to achieve quality higher education.
For those of you who want to study flexibly, with quality, and without limits, UT is the answer!
With UT, studying is no longer just a dream, but a real opportunity to achieve a better future.
