Pancasila, lived in action
Every 1 October, Indonesia observes Pancasila Sanctity Day. At Universitas Hasanuddin, its values take shape through unity, fair access to education, and gotong royong alongside the communities we serve.
Five principles at work on campus
Belief in the One and Only God
Unhas and Hartford International University for Religion and Peace (United States) signed an agreement on peace and interreligious studies, bringing the Bugis-Makassar values of Sipakatau, Sipakainge, and Sipakalebbi into global conversations.
Just and civilized humanity
Five Faculty of Law professors inaugurated on 28 September 2026 study corruption as a human rights violation and the protection of children in conflict with the law.
The unity of Indonesia
Academic leaders from 46 universities across Indonesia met at Unhas on 17 September 2026 to share good practice in academic governance.
Democracy guided by the inner wisdom of deliberation among representatives
The Unhas Patriot Expedition programs in Weri-Saharey, Fakfak, were designed from residents’ needs and aspirations gathered through focus group discussions — deliberation before action.
Social justice for all the people of Indonesia
Ayam Alope Unhas-1 is part of a poverty-reduction program in Barru: in its first stage, 31 families from nine villages received starter packages of chicks, ducks, and seedlings.
Gotong royong in Fakfak
When a land fire broke out in Kampung Tunas Gain, Fakfak, the Unhas Patriot Expedition Team worked with residents to contain the flames, mapping hidden hotspots by drone. In Weri-Saharey, the Patriot Expedition also trained farmers to dry nutmeg with solar and biomass heat.
Education within reach
Scholarships for around 10,000 students a year
At the 2025 Pancasila Sanctity Day ceremony, the Rector said Unhas provides scholarships to around 10,000 students every year, and that tuition (UKT) was lowered for around 5,000 students so university stays affordable for families with limited means.
Character through Pancasila Education
Unhas and the Agency for Pancasila Ideology Education (BPIP) are working to strengthen Pancasila Education, so students excel with a firm moral foundation.
5,062 students in the villages
During community service wave 116 (KKN), students produced 1,449 appropriate-technology products and 428 arts and culture works together with local communities.
