The aim of this study is to examine and understand de-radicalisation attempts among university students. University leaders in Indonesia have adopted a policy of de-radicalisation through various programmes in response to the rise in radical religious movements which have swept across Indonesia. This is a case of study of de-radicalisation of students in UIN Malang conducted through the design of personality development courses (MPK) and the character of ulul albab in ma'had (campus boarding school). Strategy to build and increase awareness and prevent the development of religious radicalism through non-academic activities was also done through strengthening programme and activities of student organisations. This de-radicalisation model undertaken at UIN is directed to students who have not been exposed to radical ideologies, and those who have been exposed to radical ideologies but are not involved in terrorism. Both de-radicalisation models developed by this campus need to be addressed seriously and continuously by involving all relevant elements, as radicalism poses a serious threat to national security.
