UCSI Co-Operative Report 2009

Introduction
Building a bridge of excellence
to the future
The UCSI University Co-Operative Education Programme has been established
since 2004. It is a tradition that has given an advantage to our graduates in
enhancing their employment prospects through real-world work experience
during their academic years in major companies on both local and international
soil. Our students therefore graduate with six to eight months of working
experience in addition to their degree.
Each academic year, USCI University students are required to complete a twoto
four-month period of internship and practical training related to their field of
study in established corporations and organisations in Malaysia or abroad.
Endorsed by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), the programme puts
the theory and knowledge that students acquire in the classroom to practice in
an actual working environment, bridging the gap between present learning and
future employment.
