Courses led by Dr. Adam Bachtiar gave an understanding on science to Indonesian citizens. PMIK then opened an afternoon high school to students who worked in the morning, to continue their study.
PMIK services then broadened to establish an academy called Akademi Nasional. Those who didn't want to enter Dutch East Indies colonial university, Universiteit van Indonesia, could enlist at Akademi Nasional which became Universitas Nasional. The 1st lectures were held at the 1st campus on Jalan Diponegoro, Central Jakarta on October 15, 1949, which is taken as the birth of Universitas Nasional.
Despite being a private university, The Ministry of Education, Teaching and Indonesian Culture which was located in Yogyakarta had been given recognition and equal status to Akademi Nasional through a letter No. 548/S on December 22, 1949. The next development of legalization was through a notary R. Soewandi, PMIK was changed into YMIK on September 1, 1954 and Akademi National would place its name as Universitas Nasional.
During the university’s 2nd lustrum, October 15, 1959, the 1st Indonesian president, Soekarno, bestowed the title “the University of Liberation”.
At first, YMIK, for Diploma program, ran a National Foreign Language Academy, National Accounting Academy (Akademi Akuntansi Nasional in 1974) and National Tourism Academy (Akademi Pariwisata Nasional). Today, Universitas Nasional and its Academies have begun to open another 32 programs of study at Diploma, Undergraduate and Graduate levels respectively.
