FAQ
Politeknik Internasional Bali
POLITEKNIK INTERNASIONAL BALI (PIB)
The Politeknik International Bali campus and the associated Bali Culinary Pastry School are strategically located in a fast-growing tourism area in Bali between Kuta Beach and Tanah Lot. The area is surrounded by international tourism and hospitality brands, but is quiet, with beautiful, green surroundings. PIB’s vision is to educate excellent graduates who are highly skilled in their fields of expertise, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills. With numerous cooperation partners in the tourism and gastronomy industry, as well as an internationally-trained team, the focus is on practical classes. The entire campus of the PIB is generously and impressively designed. All rooms and equipment are upscale, to international standards.
Certificates
At the end of the program, participants who satisfactorily complete all course requirements will be awarded certificates as follows:
- A certificate stating that the student has attended the program;
- An Academic Transcript showing the participant’s performance in the program. The grades in the transcript are the final marks;
- A Certificate stating that the participant has participated in workshops and academic excursions (on request).
ECTS
All programs are designed to comply with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). This system is based on workload, measured in hours and includes lectures, exams, self-study, research, subject-related excursions, etc. The summer school corresponds to 10 ECTS credits. ECTS enables the measurement, comparison, and transfer of academic achievements between universities. If the summer school is completed successfully, the credits achieved can be credited with the help of ECTS. So you can return to your home university without any loss of time or credit points. The ECTS system is transferable to other credit systems such as the US credit system and similar systems.
If you want to have the subjects credited at your home university, we suggest having the course pre-approved by the home institution’s exchange coordinator, academic advisor, or a professor; whoever is in charge of credit transfer and sign a “Learning Agreement”, in order to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the study period abroad and to ensure that you will receive recognition for the educational components successfully completed abroad.
Visa
For our short course in Bali, PIB College permits participants to enter Indonesia using a Visa on Arrival (VoA).
The Visa on Arrival is a convenient entry option for travelers who wish to visit Indonesia for a short period. This type of visa is usually valid for 30 days and can be extended for an additional 30 days at the immigration office within Indonesia. It is primarily intended for tourism, social visits, and short-term courses.
The VoA is available to citizens of specific countries, and it’s crucial to check if your nationality is on the list. On arrival, you will need to pay a visa fee. Given the benefits and the relatively hassle-free procedure, a VoA is an excellent option for students looking to enrich their educational experience.
Accommodation
Usually, participants form groups and rent a house or a villa (house with pool) together. We have a Facebook group for each semester, where the students can meet the other participants. For those who would like to book accommodation beforehand, we recommend the website of Zaheva Bali, offering accommodation with student prizes.
The PIB also offers rooms in its own student dorm. Please ask for further information.
