The synergy between Medan's best campus, UNPRI, and LLDIKTI Region I North Sumatra, has resulted in the first private psychology professional program on the island of Sumatra.
UNPRI collaborated with LLDIKTI Region I North Sumatra to launch the Psychologist Professional Program, the first PTS in Sumatra, a manifestation of the commitment to national superior education.
Medan, UNPRI – Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI) once again marked a historic milestone in Indonesian higher education. The leading socio-technopreneurship campus in Medan has officially received authorization to open the Professional Psychologist Education Program through Decree No. 864/B/O/2025 issued by the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology. The decree was formally received by the Rector of UNPRI, Prof. Dr. Chrismis Novalinda Ginting, M.Kes., AIFO-K., from Prof. Drs. Saiful Anwar Matondang, M.A., Ph.D., Head of LL-DIKTI Region I North Sumatra, on Tuesday (October 7, 2025) at his office, Jalan Sempurna No. 8, Medan Selayang.
Prof. Chrismis expressed gratitude and appreciation to LL-DIKTI Region I for its continuous support of UNPRI’s mission to advance national education. “This permit is a great mandate and concrete proof that UNPRI is fully committed to providing higher education that is excellent and relevant to societal needs, including in the field of psychology,” she said. With this new program, UNPRI becomes the first and only private university in Sumatra authorized to open a Professional Psychologist Program, complementing its “Very Good” accredited Bachelor of Psychology Program.
Accompanying the Rector were Vice Rector II for Finance and Human Resources, Prof. Dr. Ermi Girsang, M.Kes., M.Biomed., AIFO., and Dean of the Faculty of Psychology, Dr. Sri Hartini, S.Psi., M.Si. Their presence represented strong leadership synergy in building a solid and visionary academic ecosystem. Prof. Saiful congratulated UNPRI and praised the initiative as a bold and relevant breakthrough, noting that psychology graduates from Sumatra previously had to continue their professional studies on the island of Java.
Dean of the Faculty of Psychology, Dr. Sri Hartini, emphasized that the demand for professional psychologists in Indonesia remains very high. “We want to respond to this challenge. The Professional Psychologist Program at UNPRI is not only designed to produce graduates with strong academic competencies but also to nurture socially conscious, ethical, and transformative individuals,” she said. She added that this achievement was made possible through hard work, teamwork, and the blessings of Allah SWT, along with the full support of the Rector and academic community.
UNPRI is currently advancing Digital Psychology, a field that studies human interaction with digital technology and its impact on behavior and mental health. This focus makes UNPRI’s Faculty of Psychology increasingly relevant in the modern era, addressing issues such as social media addiction, virtual reality, and digital well-being. Collaboration with seven other faculties at UNPRI further strengthens its mission as an innovative and adaptive socio-technopreneurship university.
Graduates of the Professional Psychologist Program will earn the professional title “Psychologist (Psi.)” and possess competencies in psychological assessment, diagnosis, therapy, and counseling. The program begins in the 2025/2026 academic year and is open to psychology graduates from all universities across Indonesia, both public and private. UNPRI meets all accreditation, faculty, facility, and Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum standards required for program implementation.
“To all psychology graduates in Indonesia, this is your opportunity to join UNPRI. There’s no need to travel to Java for professional psychology training. At UNPRI, the quality is guaranteed, the lecturers are competent, and the environment supports your personal growth,” said Prof. Ermi Girsang.

With this new program, UNPRI reaffirms its role as an excellent university dedicated not only to technology but also to social and humanitarian advancement. (Yd).
