INTI Centres of Excellence (CoE)
About the CoE
The University recognises the importance and benefits of carrying out research activities, and thus formation of CoE is a platform to plan and discuss research topics. CoE does not imply a physical set-up, it can be functional and strategic team, a shared facility that provides leadership, best practices, support and/or training in the focus area. CoE if runs well, will drive the University to remain competitive in the various fields of research, expertise and services at the national and international levels.
Objectives of the CoE
- Encourages shared learning through niche focus areas, services and research activities including research training and grants within the University
- Promotes inter-departmental or inter-varsity collaborations, and by using the best practice around a specific focus area to drive valued results in the research or service area

Research Trip 2016
Activity conducted by Physical Activity Research Centre (PARC) - Hiking on Melati Hill
The goal of the INTI Physical activity center is to research and promote physical activity among community. In that essence, to promote the physical activity among INTI students and to make them understand the different intensities of exercise prescription, a hiking activity on Melati hill was conducted. The exercise physiology subject students (23 students), who just learned the exercise testing and exercise prescription, were the voluntary participants of this activity.
