Under the MoU, students from Institut Sinaran will gain from a progression pathway that allows them to further their studies at ICS, where they can pursue the 3+0 UK degree programmes locally while also enjoying a progression discount. Initiatives that will support this includes programme promotion through various events, establishing an academic framework for the pathway and transfer of credits, and ensuring courses remain relevant for credit transfer.

While INTI’s relationship with Institut Sinaran dates back to 2020, the MoU will further strengthen the ties and encourage more collaborations in the future.

In his speech, INTI International University & Colleges Chief Executive Officer Chong Kok Wai said the collaboration with Institut Sinaran is part of INTI’s ongoing effort to grow their network of local and international academic partners that have a mutual interest in driving education excellence.
