SDG 5: Gender Equality

Student Access Measures

  ▸ Tracking access measures

Faculty of Nursing Universitas Indonesia follows the same principles as Universitas Indonesia, which is listed in the article of association and regulated in the Rector’s Decree No. 2719 of 2018 concerning the Indicators of Principles of Cultural Behavior at Universitas Indonesia. FoN UI supports gender equality as well as equal opportunity in the admissions process. There is no certain gender, religion, ethnicity, or economic status excluded from the admission process. The consideration is based on objective measurements, such as examination scores. There are more female students than male students in the faculty (84.44% in 2023). This occurred due to community perception regarding the nursing profession, not discrimination in the admissions process. The community believes that nursing is a job for women because the profession is in line with feminine characteristics, such as patience, being detail-oriented, and having an affinity for being gentle when caring for patients. Therefore, nursing programs attract more women than men.
