The Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) was founded on 2 March 1959. Its campus is host to the first engineering schools in Indonesia

In 1920 the Technische Hogeschool (TH) was established in Bandung. In the 1940s the School was transformed into Kogyo Daigaku. A short time after the birth of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, the campus hosted the Technical Faculty (including the Fine Arts department) of University of Indonesia with its headquarters in Jakarta. At the beginning of the 1950s, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Indonesia was also established in the present campus.

In 1959, the present Institut Teknologi Bandung was founded by the Indonesian Government. It was established as a higher education institution of science, technology and art, with the mission to place education and research at the service of society. The ITB is considered as one of the best technology universities in Indonesia and ranked among the best in the world. Bandung, with approximately one and a half million inhabitants, is situated in a mountainous region in the west of Java, and has an altitude of 770 metres. The principal ITB campus in the north of the centre of the city and its other campuses cover a surface of 770.000 square metres.

Indonesia has a tropical climate and its temperatures are relatively constant, with an average of 26 ºC to 28 ºC during the year. The cost of living in Indonesia is quite low. Renting an apartment with a sleeping room may cost between €110 and €260 a month, depending on the location of the apartment. Indonesia offers a vibrant and multicultural atmosphere for international students. Approximately 6.000 international students are studying in Indonesia at the moment.
