Global Experience(GE)
Global Experience Learning in universities is designed to provide students with international exposure, cross-cultural competencies, and a global perspective. It enhances their academic, professional, and personal development through various activities, including:
- Diversity/Global Learning (DGL) – Programs that promote cross-cultural understanding through discussions, collaborative projects, and multicultural engagements. These may include cultural exchange programs, global issue discussions, and inclusive campus initiatives.
- Global Classroom – Physical, virtual or hybrid (physical + virtual) learning experiences where students collaborate with peers from international institutions. This includes joint courses, online projects, and shared learning platforms facilitated by faculty from different countries.
- Student Mobility (Inbound/Outbound) – Exchange programs, study-abroad opportunities, and international internships where students can experience different educational systems and cultures. Inbound programs allow international students to study in Malaysia, while outbound programs send Malaysian students abroad.
- Talks/Conferences/Sharing Sessions – Expert-led discussions, guest lectures, and academic conferences where students engage with global thought leaders, researchers, and industry professionals to broaden their perspectives on global issues.
- Other Initiatives (e.g., Global Research Collaborations, International Competitions, Cross-Border Community Service) – Opportunities for students to participate in international research projects, innovation challenges, or social impact initiatives, fostering global networking and professional growth.
