About the Law School

Parahyangan Catholic University or known with the abbreviation UNPAR is one of the oldest and most prestigious private universities in Indonesia, located in the city of Bandung. The main campus is located on Ciumbuleuit street, and other campuses are located on Merdeka street, Aceh street and Nias street. Before owning a building on Merdeka street, UNPAR also used the "Panti Budaya" building (now a new Bank Indonesia Building) for college activities.
Parahyangan Catholic University was founded in 1955 by the leadership of the Catholic Church in Indonesia at that time through cooperation between the Bishop of Bandung, Pierre Marin Arntz, O.S. and Paternus Nicholas Joannes Cornelius Geise in response to a lack of highly educated experts to build Indonesia after the War of Independence.
UNPAR has the motto Bakuning Hyang Mrih Guna Santyaya Bhakti which means "Based on the belief in God, pursuing knowledge in devotion to the community".
