The story
Bina Nusantara University originally evolved from a computer training institute, Modern Computer Course, which was founded on October 21, 1974. Along with its development, the Modern Computer Course later developed into the Computer Engineering Academy (ATK) on July 1, 1981. The academy offers informatics and informatics management education. Three years later, on July 13, 1984, ATK achieved registered status, and the name changed to AMIK Jakarta. On July 1, 1985, AMIK opened a course in accounting computerization. AMIK began to use the name Bina Nusantara on September 21, 1985.
AMIK was awarded the Best Computer Academy Award from the Ministry of Education and Culture on March 17, 1986.
