Many programs are taught in Bahasa Indonesia, but there are also some programs and research projects conducted in English (especially at the postgraduate level).
Sriwijaya University offers several routes for undergraduate admission, including national selection systems and independent selection conducted by the university itself.
The following are the three main national selection systems:
SNBP (Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Prestasi)
This is a national academic achievement-based selection system.
Eligibility: Students are selected based on their high school academic records and achievements (without taking an entrance exam).
Selection Criteria: High school GPA, academic performance in specific subjects, and extracurricular achievements.
Registration Process:
Schools propose eligible students based on their performance.
The proposed students register online through the official SNBP website.
Selection is conducted by the Ministry of Education.
SNBT (Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Tes)
This is a national entrance test-based selection system.
Eligibility: Open to all high school graduates who pass the national entrance test (UTBK - Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer).
Registration Process:
Candidates must first take the UTBK exam, which assesses knowledge in areas like mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, and language.
After completing the exam, students apply for universities through the SNBT portal.
Selection is based on the UTBK test scores and the desired program's cut-off marks.
Independent Admission (Seleksi Mandiri UNSRI)
UNSRI also conducts its own independent selection for students who didn't apply through SNBP or SNBT or who wish to try again.
Eligibility: Open to all high school graduates.
Selection Process:
UNSRI typically conducts its own entrance test (Seleksi Mandiri).
The format of the test may vary depending on the program.
Registration: Students register directly through the Sriwijaya University official portal and take the entrance exam organized by the university.
High School Diploma or equivalent (SMA/MA/SMK certificate).
UTBK scores (for SNBT applicants).
Academic transcripts for SNBP applicants (achievement-based selection).
Entrance test result (for independent selection).
Registration Fee: Around IDR 300,000 (~$20) for independent selection, although the fee varies based on the program.
The Master’s programs at UNSRI admit students based on academic records, entrance tests, and interviews. The general steps are:

Interview:
Applicants may be called for an interview to assess their academic and research interests.

Primary Intake: Once a year, generally starting in August.
Applications for national selection routes (SNBP and SNBT) typically occur in the first half of the year (February to May).

Entrance Test-Based: Applicants must take the UTBK (Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer) exam, which assesses academic knowledge in various subjects.

Eligibility: Open to all high school graduates who did not apply through the national selection routes or wish to try another opportunity. The university sets its own eligibility criteria based on test scores and program requirements.
Most undergraduate programs are taught in Bahasa Indonesia, so international students may need to demonstrate proficiency in the language. UNSRI may offer Bahasa Indonesia language courses for non-native speakers.

Entrance Exam:
Many master’s programs require applicants to take an entrance exam. This may be a general test or a test specific to the chosen field of study.
Interview: Some programs may also require an interview to assess research interest and academic potential.
Research Proposal (if applicable):
For research-based master’s programs, applicants may be required to submit a research proposal outlining their intended area of study.
Bahasa Indonesia: Many graduate programs are conducted in Bahasa Indonesia, so proficiency in the language is essential for non-Indonesian speakers.

The research proposal will be closely evaluated by the admissions committee or potential supervisors.
Interview:
An interview is often required to assess the candidate's research interest, background, and fit with the university’s research priorities.

Students applying through SNBP (based on academic achievements) are selected from top-performing high school students, which indicates a highly selective process.
For SNBT (based on the UTBK entrance exam), the competition is also intense, as students from across the country apply to UNSRI through this route.

Programs like Medicine, Engineering, Law, and Economics tend to have a lower acceptance rate due to the higher number of applicants and limited seats.
