Quality UK education – a priceless experience
OVER the past few years, there has been a steady increase in the number of students studying in the UK.
IDP Destination Head (UK and NZ) for Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea region, Jayanthi Thevarajah explains: “Studying in the UK for an honours degree takes a shorter time than in some countries, which can be cost effective in the long run. Most UK universities are more flexible in accepting a wider variety of entry-level qualifications.
“Professional degrees such as accountancy, engineering and pharmacy are accredited by the relevant regulatory authority, which sets and maintains internationally recognised standards of professional competence and ethics.”
The UK learning experience allows students independent thought, encourages proactive problem-solving skills, enables development of intellectual skills and empowers creative and effective thinking.
These skills are recognised by employers as the qualities needed to meet the requirements of the global economy and to succeed in a competitive job market.
The UK has been welcoming international students from over 100 countries for generations. It has one of the world’s lowest dropout rates due to a comprehensive support system for international students.
IDP Education Limited is the world’s leading international student placement provider, partnering with over 80 UK institutions.
IDP has assisted over 420,000 international students fulfil their goal of an overseas education for more than 45 years.
It has a network of over 100 international student placement centres in more than 32 countries.
Additionally IDP is also the co-owner of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the world’s most popular English language test.
At IDP Education Malaysia, specialised UK counsellors are trained to assist students throughout their journey to explore education opportunities in the UK.
This goes beyond a counsellor merely matching your choice of study with suitable institutions.
In fact, IDP, being at the forefront of the education industry, has invested in technology to help Malaysian students find the best institutions to study in.
With access to exclusive innovative software, the student will obtain up to date information on the institution of their choice.
This month, IDP Education Malaysia will be hosting the IDP Study in UK Exhibition from Nov 11 to 21 in five major cities – Kuala Lumpur, Johor Baru, Penang, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.
Students will have the opportunity to meet some prestigious UK institutions. This will be a chance to gear up and prepare these students and parents for the upcoming January/February 2018 and September 2018 intake applications.
Prospective students who visit this coming exhibition will be able to get advice and information from IDP Education Malaysia’s UK-trained and specialised counsellors along with institution representatives on career pathways, study applications, student visa and IELTS.
Participating institutions will be accepting applications for various courses and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service application fees will be waived by IDP.
