Regular visits by link tutors from INTI College Sarawak’s partner universities abroad add a unique dimension to the overall teaching and delivery of degree programmes at the College. A recent visit by Christine Seamark, a link tutor from the UK’s University of Hertfordshire (UH), was an affirmation of the university’s ongoing commitment to support the Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Business Administration programme offered at INTI.
UH was recently selected as one of the world’s top 100 universities aged under 50 by Times Higher Education (THE) in a new addition to its World University Rankings portfolio. The rankings are based on excellence across teaching, research, citations, industry income and international outlook. UH scored highly for the citing of its academic research on a global scale and for its international outlook and mix.

Our students get the opportunity to learn from leading academics from UH and our programme manager and academic team benefit from the support they receive in managing and delivering the programme.”
