A Glimpse of Postgraduate Program

The establishment of postgraduate program at UNIDA Gontor is part of ideal visions of the founding fathers of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. The vision of the founders was vividly expressed in the Declaration of Waqf (1958) that this education institution should be developed into qualified and meaningful university. This vision had been realised in 1963 by setting up Institute of Education Darussalam, later it is called Darussalam Institute of Islamic Studies.

However, until the death of the three founders (the last one was in 1985) their vision to establish a university in the real sense of the words had not been realised yet. It was by the second generation that the step towards the establishment of university started. First by establishing postgraduate program in 2010 and then by converting the institute into university in 2014.

In 1994, IPD established the Faculty of Sharia and changed its name.[3] In 1996, the ISID campus moved to a new location in Siman, Ponorogo. With the establishment of the new campus, separate from the KMI campus, ISID began operating intensively, independently, and in an integrated manner. In 2010, ISID launched its Graduate Program. Since then, the study programs in each faculty have been continuously expanded and improved.
