Articulation agreement sought by Malaysian college

A Malaysian private college is looking to partner potential UK universities to provide a pathway for their Diploma in Accounting and Diploma in Business Studies students. The Institute of Science and Management in Tawau, Sabah is seeking articulation arrangements with UK higher education institutions for the following programmes:

  • Diploma of Accounting
  • Diploma in Business Studies

Both Diplomas are approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education and accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Authority (MQA). The Diplomas are on Level 4 of the Malaysian Qualifications Framework.

The potential partner should ideally be able to offer their students entry into a related undergraduate degree programme in the UK. In addition to the Diploma in Accounting and Diploma in Business Studies, the institution also offers:

  • Cambridge A-levels
  • Foundation in Science
  • Foundation in Arts
  • Diploma in Agribusiness Management (starting January 2017)

Established in 2000, the Institute of Science and Management is a private not-for-profit college providing their students affordable and quality education. The college is rated 5-stars (Excellent) in the Malaysian Quality Evaluation System for Private Colleges (MyQUEST) 2014/2015, a testament to its teaching quality.
