Study Program

description

The Interior Design Study Program at ISI Bali is under the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design and is recognized as one of the oldest interior design study programs at a public university in Indonesia, following ITB Bandung and ISI Yogyakarta. The program was established on May 10, 1983, through Decree No. 483/SK/PT.17/R.VII/1983; 5/DIKTI/Kep/1984 under the Fine Arts and Design Study Program (PSSRD) of Udayana University. Based on Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia No. 33 of 2003, the Indonesian Art College (STSI) Denpasar was merged with PSSRD of Udayana University to become the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar. At that time, two faculties were established: the Faculty of Performing Arts and the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design. The Interior Design Study Program subsequently received operational permits through Decrees No. 304/D/2002; 2199/D/T/2006; and 2238/T/K-N/2010, issued respectively on February 12, 2002; June 23, 2006; and May 20, 2010.
