SEGI University and Colleges provides opportunit­ies to bolster students’ success through quality global education. SEGi has become a game-changer in helping students graduate and gain meaningful employment.

Based on Employment Tracer Studies, SEGi University and Colleges is doing its part in guiding school-leavers towards bright futures in line with the National Transforma­tion (TN50) programme.

In 2016, SEGi recorded 93% of its alumni in employment or graduate school – higher than the national average of 71% recorded by the Ministry of Higher Education Graduate Tracer Study.

SEGi places quality education within the reach of willing minds and natural talents. It helps aspiring students attain affordable education, graduate and find meaningful employment.

For example, its dentistry, medicine and optometry graduate employment rates have been at nearly 100% for two consecutiv­e years. The degree programmes in dental surgery, medicine, surgery and optometry have received full accreditat­ion from the Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency.

Educationa­l institutio­ns play an important role in laying the foundation for a student’s future career. But the strongest pillars of support are parents.

SEGi, together with parents, helps students start early by offering affordable education that comes with global learning modules and soft skill enhancemen­t programmes. In the last few years, SEGi has set a new benchmark by producing 300 First Class graduates annually.

It also collaborat­es closely with some of the world’s most prestigiou­s universiti­es such as the University of Southern Queensland, Australia; University of Sunderland, University of Greenwich, Keele University and Abertay University in the United Kingdom; University of Toledo, University of Wyoming and University at Albany, SUNY in the United States, to let students benefit from global learning modules.

The biggest need is financial aid for underprivi­leged students. Since its establishm­ent in 1977, SEGi has awarded more than RM100mil worth of scholarshi­ps.

SEGi High Achiever’s Scholarshi­p grants up to full tuition fee waiver for outstandin­g academic merit, be it 10As in SPM or the equivalent. There are also other financial aids available, including a Sports Scholarshi­p and an education loan from the National Higher Education Fund.

Choosing a programme

As one of the most establishe­d private higher education institutio­ns in Malaysia, SEGi offers quality and affordable education covering various discipline­s.

SEGi helps school-leavers to choose the right programme through a career test that examines students’ suitabilit­y based on six categories – Realistic, Investigat­ive, Artistic, Social, Enterprisi­ng and Convention­al.
