Most of its campuses are located within the area of Greater Jakarta Region. It also has campuses at Bandung, Malang, and Semarang.

History

Bina Nusantara University originally evolved from a computer training institute, Modern Computer Course, which was founded on October 21, 1974. Along with its development, the Modern Computer Course later developed into the Computer Engineering Academy (ATK) on July 1, 1981. The academy offers informatics and informatics management education. Three years later, on July 13, 1984, ATK achieved registered status, and the name changed to AMIK Jakarta. On July 1, 1985, AMIK opened a course in accounting computerization. AMIK began to use the name Bina Nusantara on September 21, 1985.

AMIK was awarded the Best Computer Academy Award from the Ministry of Education and Culture on March 17, 1986. AMIK Bina Nusantara then formed STMIK (College of Informatics and Computer Management) Bina Nusantara on July 1, 1986. The institute then offered undergraduate study programs (S1) in informatics management and informatics engineering.
