Overview of the host university

UCSI University

type of stay

Examples of local classes and timetables

Classes consist of two main parts: ``Intensive English,'' where students learn English, and ``Malaysian Studies,'' where they learn about Malaysian culture. All instructors in Intensive English are experts qualified to teach English to non-native speakers, and instructors in Malaysian Studies are full-time faculty members at UCSI University. In addition to exams, students are evaluated from a variety of other aspects, including assignments, level of class participation, attendance status, and attitude toward class.
Since Credit earned by taking courses locally can be recognized as subjects at Asia University, students can graduate in four years without having to take a leave of absence. The courses that are approved vary by faculty, so please refer to each faculty's "Course Registration Guide" for details.

Intensive English

overview

This is a class to improve the four English skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking with International Student enrolled at UCSI University. A variety of materials such as English learning texts and newspaper articles can be used as teaching materials, so you can learn about social, cultural, and world events. You will also improve your English communication skills through class discussions and presentations.

Class composition

Your class will be determined by a test conducted upon arrival. Each class consists of 10 to 20 students, using the "international class" method where students study together with international International Student from other countries. There are levels from 1 to 10, and if you are taking a class and feel that the level is not suitable for you, you can change classes.

timetable

Classes are held every day, Monday through Friday, and last approximately 4 hours per day.

Malaysian Studies

overview

How to apply and the process to study abroad

If you wish to apply together with AUAP

It is possible to apply for AUASP and AUAP simultaneously. If you wish to apply for both courses, please be sure to indicate your desired ranking when applying, and details will be provided on the A-University Portal once finalized. Please note that selection will be conducted at the destination indicated in your first choice.
(Example: Submit your first choice as AUASP ⇒ Receive selection as an AUASP applicant)
 
AUAP is divided into the ``English Intensive Learning Course (ESL type),'' which has a selection process, and the ``Global Human Resources Development Course (Washington 3 University type),'' which does not have a selection process. Therefore, if you choose AUASP as your first choice, apply for AUAP at the same time, and fail the AUASP selection, you may apply again for the "English Intensive Learning Course (ESL type)" if there is space available at the university where you are applying at the same time. , students will be selected for dispatch to the university to which they apply (however, no re-examination will be conducted).
 
If you apply for the "Global Human Resource Development Course (Washington 3 Universities Type)" which does not involve selection, and you fail the AUASP selection, you will be dispatched to the specified Washington 3 Universities.
