OUR DIRECTION

Where do we want to go?

The vision of the University was crafted through a participatory visioning activity after the
data and information on the internal and external environment of the University were presented,
with consideration of the existing vision: “IFSU for Academic Centers of Excellence”, the University
President’s vision for the University, the University Mandate, and the inputs from stakeholders and
partners. At the end, the vision of the University was updated and is expected to be realized by
2026.

actively responsive to the challenges brought about by globalization and internationalization.
With the ASEAN integration, doors of opportunities abroad for global and international learning
experiences, professional advancement, and employment shall be opened and explored for the
IFSU constituents to enjoy.

constituent enjoying their rich cultural heritage in the University’s local environment where the
UNESCO world heritage sites are. Being global and local, constituents are expected to display
