As one of the academic implementing units within the Ganesha University of Education (UNDIKSHA), the history of the development of FBS cannot be separated from the history of UNDIKSHA. The Faculty of Languages ??and Arts is part of the Ganesha University of Education and was started in 1955 with the Indonesian Language B1 Course to prepare high school teachers. In more detail can be seen in the following narration
The existence of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (UNDIKSHA), which is based on Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2006, dated May 11, 2006 is closely related to the history of teacher education in Indonesia. In the 1950s, in Indonesia, B-1 (read: B-one) and B-2 (read: B-two) courses were established in charge of educating prospective high school teachers. In Singaraja, the establishment of this educational institution was established with the 1955 Indonesian B-1 course, which was then added to the B-1 Commerce course in 1957. In addition to teacher education institutions in the form of B-1 and B-2 courses, the Government also established Teacher Education Colleges (PTPG) in 4 cities, namely Bandung, Malang, Batusangkar and Tondano in 1954. In 1958 PTPG was changed to the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. (FKIP) and become part of a university. Avoiding the dualism of institutions dealing with teacher education issues, since January 1, 1960 all B-1 and B-2 courses in Indonesia were integrated into the FKIP at the nearest university. In line with the policy taken by the government, since January 1, 1962, the B-1 course in Indonesian and Singaraja Commerce was made the FKIP branch of Universitas Airlangga Surabaya. This policy did not last long because since the opening of Udayana University Denpasar on August 9, 1962, the Airlangga University branch of FKIP was separated from Airlangga University and subsequently integrated into Udayana University to become Udayana University FKIP. The existence of FKIP as an institution that handles teacher education issues is met with competition from the group of people who established teacher education institutions with the Teacher Education Institute (IPG). In order to avoid things that are not desirable, President Soekarno took a policy by integrating FKIP and IPG into the Teacher Training and Education Institute (IKIP) based on Presidential Decree Number 1 of 1963. Based on Presidential Decree Number 1 of 1963, that year also FKIP Udayana University was released and integrated into IKIP Malang, becoming IKIP Malang Singaraja branch. The Singaraja branch of IKIP Malang only lasted about 5 years because in 1968 the Singaraja branch of Malang IKIP was re-integrated into Udayana University into two faculties, namely the Teaching Faculty (FKg) and the Faculty of Education (FIP). This step was taken because of the government's policy to reintegrate all branch IKIP in Indonesia to the nearest state university or institute, which was stated in the Decree of the Director General of Higher Education No: 161 of 1967.
Based on the government's new policy in restructuring Indonesian state universities and institutes as stated in Government Regulation Number: 5 of 1980, Government Regulation Number: 27 of 1981, and Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture Number: 0174/0/1983, based on Presidential Decree Number 62 of 1982 On February 12, 1983, the Faculty of Teacher Training and the Faculty of Education, Udayana University was merged into the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) of Udayana University. At that time, FKIP Udayana University had four majors, namely.
