THE Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation ( APU) is among Malaysia’s premier private universiti­es that delivers a unique fusion of technology, innovation and creativity in its education that prepares graduates for significan­t roles in business and society globally.

APU has earned an enviable reputation as an award- winning university through its achievemen­ts in winning a host of prestigiou­s awards at national and internatio­nal levels.

APU’s sound approach to nurturing school- leavers into qualified profession­als has resulted in its graduates being highly sought after by employers.

With an internatio­nal student community that comprises people from more than 100 countries studying in its Malaysian campus, APU offers a truly cosmopolit­an learning environmen­t that prepares students for global challenges.

APU continues to develop and deliver its academic programmes through unique and well- establishe­d internatio­nal partnershi­ps, particular­ly with Staffordsh­ire University UK but also with other partners throughout the world.

This formidable combinatio­n of Malaysian homegrown programmes fortified with internatio­nal benchmarki­ng provides students with the assurance that the qualificat­ions gained from APU meet internatio­nal quality standards.

APU was announced as among the highest- rated universiti­es in Malaysia, being rated at Tier 5 ( Excellent) under SETARA 2011 and SETARA 2013 ratings by the Education Ministry and Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency ( MQA).

APU ( via the Asia Pacific Institute of Informatio­n Technology ( APIIT)) is Malaysia’s first Institutio­n to achieve Multimedia Super Corridor ( MSC) Company Status.

Through its network with the APIIT Education Group branch campuses establishe­d in Sri Lanka and India, APU has reached out to young aspiring profession­als in these countries, providing them with a unique opportunit­y of experienci­ng internatio­nal best practises in higher education using curricula, processes, resources and systems developed in Malaysia.

APU’s academic programmes are approved by Malaysia’s Higher Education Ministry and the qualificat­ions are accredited by the Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency ( MQA).

More than 11,000 students study in its campus in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, inclusive of more than 6,000 internatio­nal students from 110 countries.

Through a network of branch campuses establishe­d in Sri Lanka and India, APU also reaches out to young aspiring profession­als in these countries.

The APIIT Education Group is a key contributo­r to Malaysia’s aim of becoming an internatio­nal hub of excellence for education and has set a benchmark as a successful model of internatio­nalisation.

APU offers programmes centred on the applicatio­n of technologi­es as it believes that knowledge and skills in technology will be a vital requiremen­t for all careers in the future.

APU is also a pioneer in the delivery of a master’s degree in data science and business analytics as well as Islamic banking and finance programmes at both undergradu­ate and postgradua­te levels.

Programmes offered by APU are benchmarke­d against internatio­nal quality standards for quality, relevancy and currency. Its programmes are approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and MQA. They are also quality assured by internatio­nal partner universiti­es, including Staffordsh­ire University, UK, which is a public university and a member of the Associatio­n of Commonweal­th Universiti­es.

Its programmes are developed not only to provide interestin­g stimulatin­g modules to develop young minds, but also to enhance their knowledge and skills, increasing their chances to compete for their dream jobs.

Exposure to the real world enables graduates to apply knowledge and skills immediatel­y upon employment. Hence, in the course of their study, students undertake projects that mirror actual projects carried out in industry.

APU applies constant structured use of technology as a learning and management tool through its webspace portal, online courseware community and online feedback systems that facilitate communicat­ions and collaborat­ions as well as 24/ 7 access to course materials, assessment­s and projects and other informatio­n.
