On Saturday morning (31 January 2026), around 1,900 prospective graduates gathered at the Universitas Terbuka Convention Center (UTCC), South Tangerang, to attend the Graduation Seminar for the 2025/2026 Odd Academic Year, Region 2. Part of the graduation series, the seminar carried the theme “UT Graduates as Outstanding Talents: Optimizing Opportunities for Further Study at Home and Abroad.” 

For many UT students, the seminar went beyond a formal ceremony. It provided practical preparation for entering the professional world, including information on further study opportunities through the LPDP scholarship program. This year, UT Jakarta recorded a total of 4,667 prospective graduates, reflecting UT’s role in expanding access to flexible, high-quality higher education through its online learning system. 

Ir. Edward Zubir, M.M., Director of UT Jakarta (2019–2025), emphasized that graduation marks a new beginning rather than an end. UT also encourages its graduates to pursue international study opportunities, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly quality education (SDG 4), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). Through flexible learning, career preparation, and global pathways, Universitas Terbuka continues to empower graduates to compete globally and contribute meaningfully to society.
