By: Dr. Marsigit, MA

Summary by: Primaningtyas Nur Arifah (09313244004)

There are two thinking approach to understand the meaning of Yogyakarta State University leading international universities, that is a formal approach and substantive approach. Formal Approach positioned UNY in social life among many universities in Indonesia, association among universities in the world, and UNY role especially as a former of LPTK. UNY main task is to print educational expert and develop the educational science and teachership science, in addition to printing noneducational academics and professional.

Perspective of the global era not only penetrated the education field but has been reaching out to all aspects of life. In the midst of euphoria to the international level, UNY faced with two phenomenon that spans the two sides / ends that have not synergistic. First, UNY have an obligation to support government policy to develop the SBI / RSBI schools, and thus UNY must be take some steps towards international universities. Second, UNY faced to the various criteria for ranking world universities, and in fact UNY still far from ranked. In Indonesia, there were only 4 (four) universities are able to rank below 500 universities in the world.

Meanwhile the perception that growing both nationally and globally, is continuously positioned the term "rank" as the only perspective to looking the international universities. Then how should we behave? The deceased Prof. Sugeng Mardiyono, Ph.D., (2008), former Rector of UNY, outlined that leading to international standard universities is not the "internationalization". "In a UNY pioneering effort towards WCU, we must not lose our identity. We must use this potential and set out from culture or our culture ", according to his directions.

So substantively, the stub to international university is the responsibility and the needs of all UNY civitas, at all ranks, institutions, faculty, students and employees. Whatever UNY position is an absolute necessity for the pilot to start doing university level internationally. Scrolling of the team's pre-eminent developer of the programs, then in 2007 WCU Task Force was formed to develop and implement programs WCU at 2008-2012.
