(1) About the Program

The historic glory of Muarajambi Temple as the education centre and human
settlement during the 7th to 13th century has long attracted interest of scholars as
well as history enthusiasts since the site was firstly uncovered and reported by S. C.
Crooks in 1820. In the past few years, there have been expanding attention and
initiatives by the local and central government to promote tourism, economic and
social activities, as well as research and educational programs around the temple
site and its surrounding areas.

As a leading institution in Malay Studies, Universitas Jambi has shown a strong

commitment to take part in initiating and leading scientific exploration and
revitalization of Muarajambi Temple Compounds. Our scholars have worked with
Government’s institutions, local community, researchers from other institutions,
NGOs, press and media, as well as private companies in various research and
community development projects in the Temple and its surrounding areas. In the
muaheart of the implementation of Indonesian new National Policy called “Merdeka
Belajar – Kampus merdeka” (Freedom of learning – independent campus),
Universitas Jambi offers an opportunity for Indonesian and foreign students to join a
project-based learning program led by our experts to explore, revisit, and revive the
wonder of the temple compounds. The program is named “Muarajambi Temple
Summer Course: Revisiting the Historic Magnificence of Ancient Education Centre.
