The idea of establishing a catholic university in Indonesia was proposed at a meeting between bishops of Java held in Jakarta on 1st June 1952. To respond to this idea, the Atma Jaya Foundation was formed by a group of young catholic intellectuals on 1st June 1960 and this foundation established a catholic university named Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya (Atma Jaya Catholic University). The phrase “Atma Jaya” means a glorious (victorious/prosperous) spirit. A glorious spirit always gives encouragement to increase the quality of education. The academic excellence and the professional graduates are the eminent orientation.

The university’s vision is to be a leading university with an academic and professional excellence at the international and national level which consistently expresses the combination between the Christian Faith, science and technology, as well as the Indonesian culture in its effort to develop the people’s mind.

The University carries out the following missions:
1.To implement an academic and professional education to develop science, professionalism, and characteristics of the students.
2.To carry out basic and applied research to advance science, technology, and art and culture (IPTEKS)
3.To volunteer its expertise in the field of IPTEKS for the benefits of the society.
4.To manage the university effectively and efficiently in an ethical and prestigious academic atmosphere.
