Agreement to open engineering options
Malaysian and Australian engineering students will be able study ‘side by side’ but nearly 5,000km away under a new agreement between UniSA and KBU International College
The agreement will provide opportunities for students who will be able to remain in Malaysia while they study the identical curriculum to the Bachelor of Engineering program offered by UniSA within Australia.
UniSA and KBU International College recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement for Malaysian and international students to enrol in UniSA's Bachelor of Engineering and complete the first three years of the program at KBU College in Kuala Lumpur and then transfer to UniSA's Mawson Lakes campus for the fourth year to complete the program.
“The agreement will give the Malaysian students and international students studying in Malaysia the added advantage of graduating with an engineering degree that is fully accredited by Engineers Australia,“ said Professor Robin King, UniSA's Pro Vice Chancellor for the Division of IT, Engineering and the Environment.
“The first three years of the engineering program will be taught by academic staff from KBU International College this will be supported by face-to-face teaching by UniSA academic staff on a regular basis in the second and third year of the program,“ said Prof King.
UniSA's School of Electrical and Information will offer the Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Systems Engineering); Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunications); and the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Mechatronic Engineering) through the new twinning program (which is subject to approval by the Malaysian Ministry of Education.) .
