JAKARTA, MKRI – The Constitutional Court (MK) officially opened the first batch of internship for the third cohort of interns in 2025 on Monday, September 1, 2025, at its second auditorium. A total of 23 interns from various universities across Indonesia will take part in the program from September 1–30, 2025 and will be assigned to three bureaus within the Court.

The participants come from the Faculty of Law at Gadjah Mada University of Yogyakarta, Narotama University of Surabaya, Sebelas Maret University of Surakarta, President University of Jakarta; the Faculty of Sharia at the State Islamic University Siber Syekh Nurjati of Cirebon; the Faculty of Sharia and Law at PTIQ University of Jakarta; and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Brawijaya University of Malang. The law students will be placed in the head of the Legal Affairs and Registrar Administration (HAK) Bureau, the psychology student in the Human Resources and Organization (SDMO) Bureau, and the international relations student in the Public Relations and Protocol (HP) Bureau.

Yuni Nurhayati, head of the Human Resources Division, expressed her appreciation for the interns who chose the Constitutional Court for their placement. She emphasized that they were fortunate to have the opportunity to intern at the country’s sole constitutional judiciary.

“Out of the many applications received by the Constitutional Court, it was your applications that we followed up on—those that met our requirements and were submitted at the right time,” she said.

She encouraged the interns to take part in every scheduled activity. The Court has designed an internship curriculum tailored to the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students, complemented by mentoring from supervisors in line with their academic backgrounds.

In addition, she reminded participants to treat the internship as a genuine professional environment. Interns may be assigned to various tasks, including assisting in the constitutional case consultation service, application intake, hearings, case data processing, and other units that will provide them with valuable insights and experience.

“You carry the good name of your universities, and we also ask you to uphold the reputation of the Constitutional Court by refraining from activities outside the rules. And one more thing I must emphasize: be wise in using social media,” Yuni advised.

Previously, Debby Yelviona, head of the Human Resources Development Subdivision, reported that the internship program is a form of public service coordinated by her bureau. The program runs from July to December 2025, with the first period (July–September) divided into three batches, and the second period (October–December) also divided into three batches.

Before being assigned to their respective units, the interns were first given orientation sessions. These included sessions on the duties and authority of the Constitutional Court and introduction to the Registrar’s Office and Secretariat-General by legal counselors Erna Hasanah and Rita, as well as Introduction to the Court’s library and Constitution History Center by librarian Hanindyo. These sessions were intended to prepare the interns with essential knowledge before beginning their placements. “Make sure that when people ask you what the Constitutional Court is, you are able to answer,” Debby reminded.
