Formerly the Directorate of Partnerships and International Relations and structurally located under the University Secretary Office, the Bureau of Partnerships aims to facilitate the creation of partnerships between ITB and other institutions, both nationally and internationally, and help manage those partnerships for the benefits of stakeholders or parties involved, as well as promote and help facilitate the operation of various programs designed through various partnership schemes. An integral part of the Bureau of Partnerships is the International Relations Office (IRO), which accommodates international mobility programs and international students interested in studying at ITB (e.g. prospective full time students, students from partner universities) and ITB students interested in studying abroad (e.g. student exchange) at one of ITB’s partner universities.
