Following up on the British Council's effort to better support UK institutions in opening up the UEC students recruitment market, UK institutions are now invited to submit a letter acknowledging acceptance of students with UEC qualifications to study Degree courses. With the letter as supporting evidence, Dong Zong (United School Committees Associations of Malaysia) will feature your institution on its website, for students', parents' and teachers' reference.

The letter should clearly states the following:

  • Students with UEC qualification can apply to study Degree courses in your institution
  • Subjects that the students can or cannot apply

Please make sure your letter comes with valid letterhead; stamped and undersigned by relevant colleague(s). UK institutions are encouraged to also provide a link in the letter for Dong Zong to understand the entry requirements your institution sets for the students. Please upload a scanned copy of the letter to Googledrive before you courier the original copy to British Council Malaysia.
