Computer Science BINUS International Student Named Most Outstanding Student 2026

A proud academic milestone has been achieved by a student of BINUS University International. Richard Hans, a student from Batch 2028, has been recognized as the Most Outstanding Student at BINUS International, marking a significant accomplishment in his academic journey and reflecting the university’s commitment to nurturing high-achieving global talents.

The recognition was officially celebrated on March 11, 2026, at the Joseph Wibowo Center Campus, the home of BINUS International. The event brought together faculty members, university leaders, and fellow students to acknowledge outstanding academic achievements and contributions to the academic community.

Richard Hans’s achievement is closely connected with the national student excellence program known as Pemilihan Mahasiswa Berprestasi (PILMAPRES), a prestigious initiative designed to identify and develop the most outstanding university students in Indonesia. The program evaluates candidates based on multiple criteria including academic excellence, research contributions, leadership, achievements in competitions, and the ability to represent their institution at higher levels of competition.

As part of the preparation process for the PILMAPRES selection, Richard was instructed to complete several important tasks. These include updating his list of academic and non-academic achievements using a structured assessment template and studying the official guidelines and timeline for the 2026 competition.

Additionally, the Student Support Office announced that training and mentoring sessions would be organized to help candidates prepare for the competition. These sessions are intended to equip participants with the skills necessary for presenting their achievements, demonstrating leadership potential, and communicating the impact of their academic work.

The campus-level selection process is scheduled to take place in early March 2026, where representatives from different faculties will compete to earn the title of the BINUS Senayan campus representative for the national stage.

The recognition of Richard Hans as the Most Outstanding Student at BINUS International highlights not only his individual dedication but also the supportive academic environment cultivated at BINUS University. Through programs like PILMAPRES, the university encourages students to pursue excellence in academics, research, innovation, and leadership.

Such initiatives aim to develop students who are not only academically capable but also able to contribute meaningfully to society through innovation, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

For Richard Hans, this achievement marks an important step in his academic journey. As he prepares to represent his faculty and compete in the upcoming selection stages, his accomplishment serves as an inspiration for fellow students across the university to strive for excellence and actively participate in national academic recognition programs.

With continued support from lecturers, mentors, and the university community, Richard’s recognition reflects the broader mission of BINUS University to develop future global leaders and innovators who are capable of making significant contributions both nationally and internationally.
