UCSI University, a Malaysian institution with a reputation for international outreach programs, will soon launch an international preparatory program in Japan for students who want to pursue studies abroad. The move is one of the steps in UCSI's overall mission to promote international education and offer students a rich cultural and academic experience.
The preparatory course will be conducted in collaboration with partner universities in Japan, giving students the unique opportunity to experience Japanese academic culture directly. Participants will undergo intensive language training, cultural immersion activities, and preparatory academic coursework aimed at preparing them for undergraduate study in Japan.
Academic and Cultural Immersion
Students pursuing the program will take Japanese language classes to develop proficiency, in addition to relevant subjects related to their prospective degree courses. The course aims to bridge the gap in educational approaches between Malaysia and Japan, with the goal of achieving an enhanced understanding of Japanese academic cultures. Immersion in the culture is an essential part, with activities scheduled for enriching the students' appreciation of Japanese customs, societal values, and ways of life.
Partnerships with Japanese Institutions
UCSI University has formed partnerships with a number of prestigious Japanese universities, making it easy for students to transition from preparatory courses to degree programs. The partnerships guarantee that the preparatory course meets the academic standards and expectations of Japanese higher education institutions.
Eligibility and Application Process
The preparatory program is available for UCSI students who qualify academically and express a strong interest in furthering their studies in Japan. Candidates of interest must apply through UCSI University's Global Engagement Office, forwarding required academic transcripts and personal statements.
