UNAIR

Unair, commonly written as UNAIR, is the informal name for Universitas Airlangga, a public research university located in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia.

Founded in 1954 in its present form, the university traces its origins to earlier East Java educational institutions and is named after Airlangga, a 11th-century Javanese king who ruled the region.

Universitas Airlangga offers programs across multiple disciplines, with faculties including medicine, dentistry, law, economics, engineering, science and technology, pharmacy, public health, nursing, and humanities. The university operates multiple campuses, with the main campus located in Surabaya; it also hosts affiliated teaching hospitals, most notably RSUD Dr. Soetomo, which serves as a teaching hospital for the medical faculty.

UNAIR is one of Indonesia's leading national universities and is active in research, community service, and international collaborations, including student and faculty exchange programs.

Notable features include a strong medical school, a large student body, and partnerships with government and industry for research and service.

Despite its growth, Unair emphasises its mission to contribute to the development of East Java and Indonesia through education, research, and community service.
