UMN sets the vision to become a leading university in the fields of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at the national and international level, which produces graduates that are internationally-minded and highly competent in their field with an entrepreneurial spirit and virtuous character. The mission is to participate in educating the society and to promote the welfare of the nation through higher education by implementing Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Teaching, Research, and Community Outreach), to improve the quality of human resources of Indonesia.
