Strengthening Educational Ties: SLTC and TAR UMT Collaborate on Staff Exchange Programme

SLTC Research University (SLTC) and Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) have recently concluded a successful staff exchange programme, solidifying their partnership in the field of education. This collaboration not only strengthens the bond between the two institutions but also opens up exciting opportunities for student transfer programs, particularly in the field of Engineering.

TAR UMT, a renowned institution situated in Malaysia, has consistently ranked among the top universities in the region. Their commitment to excellence in education, research, innovation, and industry collaboration makes TAR UMT an ideal partner for SLTC.

SLTC, a leading educational institution in Sri Lanka, offers a range of pathways for aspiring engineers. The Engineering Foundation Program provides a comprehensive one-year curriculum, equipping students with essential knowledge and skills to lay a solid groundwork for their engineering journey.

For students who have completed their A/Ls (Advanced Level examinations), SLTC offers flexible transfer pathways. Option 1 allows students to study the first two years of their degree locally at SLTC in Sri Lanka and seamlessly transfer to TAR UMT in Malaysia to complete the remaining two years of their Bachelor’s degree. This pathway ensures a holistic educational experience across borders. Option 2 is designed for students who choose the Engineering Foundation Programme after O/Ls. They can spend the initial two years of their degree at SLTC and then transition smoothly to TAR UMT for the final two years, gaining exposure to international perspectives and enhancing their employability.

The successful staff exchange programme between SLTC and TAR UMT marks a significant milestone in their partnership. By sharing knowledge, fostering friendship, and promoting growth, these institutions are paving the way for a brighter future in education and industry. Students, faculty, and researchers can look forward to exciting opportunities and cross-cultural learning experiences.
