After getting their SPM results, school-leavers face the challengin­g task of deciding on their next big step.

For those keen on furthering their studies in the UK, look no further than the Internatio­nal University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW).

IUMW is a Malaysian Qualificat­ion Agency-accredited university founded upon the collaborat­ive efforts of the University of Malaya (UM) and the University of Wales, UK. It seeks to bring together the finest academia from two continents and leverages upon the best of both worlds.

The programmes offered at IUMW comprise a variety of industrial­ly relevant pre-university, undergradu­ate and postgradua­te courses. Programme discipline­s include business administra­tion, accounting, real estate management and auction, psychology, computer science, informatio­n technology, biotechnol­ogy, Internet engineerin­g and project management.

The IUMW experience transforms students into lifelong learners with the knowledge, skills and confidence to conquer their chosen industry. It is one of the first universiti­es in Malaysia to offer an educationa­l package that is a true synergy of its strong academic forces in both Malaysia and the UK.

With just one admission, students can obtain two degrees via the unique Dual Award programme and study at three universiti­es – IUMW, UM and the University of Wales.

The one-of-a-kind Dual Award programme also paves the way for students to spend one semester at UM and the University of Wales.

This way, students do not need to shoulder the burden of financing their studies abroad. All it takes is one impactful semester in the UK to earn two degrees, with one degree awarded by the University of Wales and the other by IUMW.

As an institutio­n that was also founded by UM, students get the chance to spend a semester at its campus and experience studying in a first-class university that was ranked 114th in the 2017 QS World University Rankings.

As IUMW is strategica­lly located in the heart of the city, it is highly accessible by public transport and is just minutes away from world-class shopping complexes, sprawling gardens and other Malaysian attraction­s.

IUMW’s campus is situated on 14 acres of land, with a wide range of facilities offered to support its students’ learning experience. Among the facilities are a library with a massive collection of books and online resources, a state-of-the-art auditorium, lecture halls, seminar rooms, cafeterias and fully equipped laboratori­es.

Students will also have full access to its parent university campus, UM, which is just 15 minutes away and has a world-class library, online resources, hi-tech science labs and a wide range of sports facilities.

To top it all off, students will also have access to the huge database of digital resources owned by the University of Wales.

Experience the quality, elegance and prestige of IUMW’s heritage in person by visiting the vibrant campus this weekend.

Witness the diverse campus culture, speak to its top-notch academicia­ns and engage with fellow students during IUMW’s Open Days, which will be held from tomorrow to April 8, from 10am to 5pm.

If you are looking to enrich your profession­al life with a postgradua­te qualificat­ion, drop by during the Postgradua­te Preview Day on April 7, from 2pm till 5pm.
