UCSI University, through its International University

with various foreign universities, to provide students
the flexibility to undertake a portion of their academic
studies at UCSI University and then complete the remaining

Kingdom, United States and Canada.
Through its innovative academic curricular, students
at UCSI University also enjoy the unique benefits of
its Co-Operative Education Training Programme (Co-Op)

classroom learning with workplace training in Co-Op
partner organisations. Students complete two months’
work experience for every year of study. They will have
six to eight months of work experience by graduation
and stand ready for full-time employment.
Besides that, UCSI University’s Centre for Research

aggressively in a quest for educational excellence.
Many of UCSI University’s academic staff, which comprise
mainly PhD and Masters degree holders, are involved
