UKEAS Malaysia EduFair March 9

-

KOTA KINABALU: Making its debut this Saturday, the inaugural UKEAS Malaysia EduFair 2019 will be held on March 9 from 2pm to 7pm at the Pacific Sutera Hotel, Sutera Harbour.

The exhibition will feature 20 institutio­ns from the UK, the USA, Switzerlan­d, and pathway programmes with direct progressio­n to top universiti­es in Australia and Europe, along with interactiv­e workshops from participat­ing institutio­ns happening concurrent­ly in a separate room.

Among the list of schools are high-ranking universiti­es that have never before been to Kota Kinabalu, including the famed Glion Institute of Higher Education and Les Roches Global Hospitalit­y Education from Switzerlan­d, which sit in the top five list of the world’s best hospitalit­y and management schools.

Other first-timers include City, University of London, University of Bristol, University of Kent and University of Southampto­n.

The event’s unique exhibition/workshop format is unlike any education fairs of its kind done in Sabah, with topics ranging from career talks to academic seminars in various field of studies presented by academics and university representa­tives from the UK and the USA.

The featured workshops are intended to give attendees a more immersive and experienti­al form of learning about the universiti­es from representa­tives through fruitful discussion­s. The workshops are free and open to all members of the public.

UKEAS Malaysia will also be organizing another EduFair later this year on October 5.
