The Faculty of Vocational Studies at Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR) was officially established on October 1, 2024, as a reflection of the university’s commitment to meeting the needs for practical, vocational education that is oriented toward the professional world. This faculty oversees four study programs, each with its own specialized focus and unique contributions in shaping graduates who are ready to enter the workforce or pursue entrepreneurship.

The first program under the Faculty of Vocational Studies is the Diploma III in Business Management, which has been in existence since 1995 and has a long-standing track record of producing competent graduates in business administration and managerial fields. Along with the formation of the faculty, three new applied undergraduate (Sarjana Terapan) programs were introduced:

• Applied Bachelor in Food Engineering Technology (established in 2024)
• Applied Bachelor in Creative Business (established in 2024)
• Applied Bachelor in Food Agribusiness (to be established in 2025)

All academic activities for these four study programs are conducted in the PPAG2 Building, located on the UNPAR Ciumbuleuit Campus in Bandung. Meanwhile, the faculty’s administrative functions and faculty offices are housed on the 3rd floor of Building 10, which serves as the central hub for coordinating academic services and education for students and the wider academic community.

With a combination of proven experience and innovative new study programs, the UNPAR Faculty of Vocational Studies is committed to shaping vocational graduates who are professional, adaptable, and ready to compete in both national and global job markets.
