00:00Students, accompanied by their families, flocked to the STAR Education Fair 2024 at the Setia
00:07Spice Convention Centre in Georgetown in search of suitable universities and courses on Saturday.
00:13The two-day fair drew approximately 1,000 visitors, featuring 32 institutions of higher
00:19learning occupying 52 booths.
00:22These institutions showcased a wide range of higher education courses and programs.
00:27NT International University and Colleges was among the exhibitors, offering a variety
00:33of programs from SPM-level and A-levels to postgraduate courses.
00:38We are the only institution that currently offers such programs, and the best part about
00:44this program is this program is actually equivalent to Level 7 in the UK qualifications.
00:52That will give a direct entry for students to enter into a PhD upon completing this program.
01:00He said the university has also launched the Master of Engineering in Electronics and Electrical
01:05and Mechanical Engineering in collaboration with Coventry University in England.
01:09Ooi also highlighted the institution's flexible learning options tailored for working adults,
01:15adding that INTI further supports students with merit-based scholarships for eligible
01:19applicants.
01:20Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology, TAR-UMT, introduced new programs,
01:27including a diploma in Computer Sciences and Business that provides a pathway to degree courses.
01:33We are located in Tanjung Bunga.
01:36We have a lot of space there in Tanjung Bunga, so a lot of our students, they come for TAR
01:42and they can enjoy the life, the university life in TAR.
01:48As for those who are looking into AI-driven courses, Educlus Malaysia is offering academic
01:53programs ranging from foundation, diplomas to master's degrees, with seamless progression
01:58into bachelor's programs after foundation.
02:01In this work-studies bachelor's degree, actually in terms of the benefits that a student will
02:04be able to get is not only just a bachelor's degree certificate or a master's degree certificate
02:11from UK or Italy, they will actually be able to get up to two years of work experience
02:17before they even graduate.
02:18So this is actually to help the Malaysian economy, especially the fresh graduates, to
02:23improve in terms of their chances of getting employment because we've heard so much about
02:28the current news that a lot of the graduates are not being able to get a job, right?
02:32So this is actually one of the key methods that we're doing in order to help the students
02:36to be able to increase their chance of employment and to prepare them with that two years of
02:41working experience before they even go out to the market.
02:44Peninsular College at the SHIP Campus emphasised hands-on learning to meet industry needs.
02:49Its Deputy Chief Executive in Academics, Edwin Goh, outlined its collaboration with the University
02:54of Plymouth, offering certificates, foundation studies, diplomas and degrees.
02:58Here, why we are so unique, because our flagship program is a logistic program in maritime
03:03business.
03:04And our parents' company is a logistic group, that is why the students actually stand an
03:08advantage when they are doing logistic programs over here.
03:12Goh also said prospective students who enrolled during the fair would enjoy a rebate of 1,000
03:17ringgit on registration fees.
03:19Aspiring entrepreneurs who want to turn their business ideas into reality can look into
03:24a 10-day course by 21MI Academy from Belgium.
03:28So what I have done is those 30 years experience condensed in 10 days course for international
03:35entrepreneurship.
03:37And the 10-day course has also included two days of boot camp of team building in Langkawi.
03:44Students wanting to have exposure in business and finance can consider furthering their
03:48studies at the London School of Business and Finance in Kuala Lumpur.
03:52Located near Masjid Jamek, the school offers 13 programs in engineering, business and management,
03:58accounting and finance, health sciences and English studies.
04:02We have a very modern facility, we have a futuristic classroom, which is we have hologram
04:10teachers, we pop up in that classroom.
