In a remarkable display of academic excellence, Computer Science students from BINUS International Batch 2026—Cristoval Neo Sasono, Kenneth Jayadi Yu, and Ostein Vittorio Vellim—officially graduated from the University of Nottingham in July 2026, earning the prestigious First Class Honours distinction.

The First Class Honours is the highest academic classification awarded by universities in the United Kingdom. It is typically reserved for top-performing students who demonstrate exceptional mastery in their coursework, research, and final-year projects. Achieving this top-tier distinction in a highly rigorous and competitive field like Computer Science highlights the trio’s outstanding technical proficiency and dedication to their studies.

As part of the BINUS International Batch 2026 cohort, the students benefited from a globally integrated curriculum designed to prepare them for the international tech industry. Their successful graduation from the University of Nottingham underscores the strength of the academic partnership between BINUS University and the UK-based institution, which provides students with a world-class, dual-degree educational experience.

University representatives and faculty members have praised the graduates for their relentless work ethic. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and resilience of our students,” a faculty representative noted. “Cristoval, Kenneth, and Ostein have not only met the rigorous standards of the University of Nottingham but have excelled at the very top tier. They are a proud representation of BINUS International’s commitment to producing global tech leaders.”

As they transition from academia to the professional world, the three graduates are highly anticipated to make significant contributions to the global tech industry. They carry forward a legacy of academic excellence, serving as an inspiration for future batches of BINUS International students aiming for global recognition.
