Widya Mandala Catholic University, commonly abbreviated as WMCU (Indonesian: Universitas Katolik Widya Mandala, UKWM) is a major oldest and largest private Roman Catholic university in Indonesia, located in the heart of Darmo District in Surabaya, East Java - Indonesia.

Widya Mandala Catholic University ranks at the top of Indonesia's private universities fields of study and distinguished alumni. According to the Department of Higher Education, the university appears in the Top 50 Promising Indonesian Universities.

The university is owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Surabaya and is being managed by the Diocese under the Widya Mandala Foundation.

History

The idea of establishing a Catholic Higher Education Foundation has been started since World War I around 1914-1919. At that time, many HBS (Hogere Burger School) graduates, were unable to continue their higher education to the Netherlands, due to circumstances and transportation barriers to Europe.

Then the 1950s became known as the "Catholic College Awakening Era". In 1958, after the establishment of several Catholic universities in Indonesian cities, Mgr. J. Klooster, CM as the Bishop of Surabaya founded the Widya Mandala Foundation.

Widya Mandala comes from the ancient Javanese language; Mandala means building or place in the sense not only physical and Widya means scholar. So Widya Mandala can be interpreted as a place of education for wise and successful people (scholars). Some people also simplify the meaning of Widya Mandala as a place or container of knowledge.

The Widya Mandala Surabaya Foundation aims to participate in educating the life of the Indonesian nation by organizing, maintaining and developing Higher Education in order to form Indonesian people who are moral and educated and highly knowledgeable.

September 20, 1960 was designated as the anniversary of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya (UKWMS). When it was founded, UKWMS only had one faculty and was located at Jalan Dr. Soetomo, Surabaya. Now there are ten faculties, postgraduate programs (S2 and S3), as well as a Secretarial Academy (D3). The activities of the Widya Mandala Catholic University in Surabaya are outlined in the form of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education which consists of Education and Teaching, Research, and Community Service.

As one of the oldest private universities in Surabaya, UKWMS has four campus buildings to support the teaching and learning process. The main campus is located on Jalan Dinoyo 42, inhabited by the Business Faculty, the Communication Science Faculty and the Agricultural Technology Faculty. The second campus is located on Jalan Kalijudan 38, inhabited by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Teacher Training & Education. The third campus is located on Jalan Dinoyo 48, inhabited by the Postgraduate Program.
