Cost & Funding: Which scholarships and aid apply to this programme?
Deserving candidates can apply to TAZU and YAYASAN UTP. We also regularly approach and have industry engagement to showcase the talents of our potential students to secure scholarhsips.
Student Life: What should an applicant to this programme know?
This programme is not lecture based. Students will have a lot of project based learning based on problem statement given by the industry partners. Classes are NOT lecture-based. 70% of our programmes have NO final exams. In SEM 4, students will be abroad in selected universities for "mobility abroad programme". The programmes they learn in Sem 4 in university abroad will be credit transferred back to UTP (goes into their marks). This is to give GLOBAL exposure for our students. Selected students who apply for this programme will sit for a psychometric test and if selected, will be interviewed (2nd round for selection). Once they ace the interview, then offer letter will be given.
Next Intake + Application Deadline
Intake every Sept. Once a year only.
