BIPA, BEFORE THE CAMPUS

Before choosing a campus,
start with BIPA

What is BIPA?

Indonesian for speakers of other languages

BIPA stands for Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing. Indonesia's government sets national learning standards for the programme, while the routes Doro coordinates are taught by local universities. You learn speaking, listening, reading and writing alongside the culture and practical life around the language.

The regular route Doro coordinates runs from beginner to advanced across three stages. Each stage is roughly four months, so the full sequence takes about a year.

Why BIPA?

Language study with a record of local experience

This is more than a short conversation course. It is one of the most structured university routes available to international learners of Indonesian. You study language and culture with university instructors under national learning standards, and finish with an official record from the university.

Employers and institutions recruiting for Indonesia roles use BIPA completion as an important indicator of Indonesian ability. Live job listings place BIPA alongside OPI and FLEX in their preferred language criteria.

What is Doro?

More than an application service

We help choose the course and neighbourhood, track application timing, find housing, arrange airport pickup and join you for check-in. If you need help beyond the basic package, we check what can be arranged locally and quote it separately.

Doro reduces the things you would otherwise have to figure out alone. We travel the road into Indonesia with you.
