Global Mobility Centre

The inaugural cohort of the INCLUDE Mobility Programme, set to travel to Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN), Indonesia this May, was officially launched in an exclusive session with the Minister of Higher Education, YBM Dato’ Seri Diraja Dr. Zambry Abd Kadir, alongside the Deputy Minister of Higher Education, YB Adam Adli.

The session was also attended by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Affairs), Professor Dr. Zamri bin Radzi, and the Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International), Professor Dr. Yvonne Lim Ai Lian.

More than a courtesy visit, the session marked a significant milestone for the programme, reflecting strong support for inclusive and accessible global mobility opportunities for Malaysian students.

This launch represents the beginning of a series of impactful international experiences under the INCLUDE initiative, organised by the Global Mobility Centre with the close collaboration between Centre for Counselling & Disability Centre, 7th Residential College and AUN-DPPnet.

Happy Chinese New Year from the Global Mobility Centre! 🧧✨

Wishing all our students and friends a year filled with happiness, success, and exciting new opportunities. May this festive season bring fresh energy, meaningful friendships, and bold new adventures around the world.

Here’s to another year of exploring new cultures, building global connections, and creating unforgettable experiences together! 🌏✈️

Today, we say goodbye to our intern, Trey, after five months with the Global Mobility Centre

During his internship, Trey supported the team across a wide range of responsibilities, from office and administrative management, design and creative work, handling student enquiries, data entry, to assisting with logistics for mobility programmes and activities. His willingness to learn, adaptability, and positive attitude made him a valued part of our daily operations.

Internships are more than just gaining work experience, they are about understanding how international engagement, student mobility, and behind-the-scenes coordination come together to create meaningful global opportunities. Trey embraced this experience with dedication and professionalism, and we are grateful for his contributions to GMC.

We wish you all the very best in your next chapter, Trey. Take care, and we hope the skills and experiences gained here will continue to support your journey ahead!

On 29 August 2026, we received a visit from a representative of Chuo University, Ms Agnieszka Butajlo.

Ms Agnieszka visited the campus to review key locations for the Language and Cultural Engagement Programme 2026, an upcoming programme that will welcome students from Chuo University to Universiti Malaya.

The visit included the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, the Global Mobility Centre (GMC) office, and the student accommodation areas.

Discussions were also held to align expectations and coordination. We look forward to working closely together to ensure a smooth and well-coordinated programme for both institutions.

From 19–25 January 2026, Universiti Malaya sent five students to represent UM at the AUA–SNU Youth Forum 2025: Sustainable Cities and Living Heritage, hosted by Seoul National University, Republic of Korea.

The forum brought together students from Asian Universities Alliance (AUA) member universities for a programme centred on United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities”.

This forum examines how cities can achieve sustainable development while safeguarding cultural and historical heritage. Through hands-on, field-based learning across Seoul, students gained first-hand insights into how urban development and heritage preservation can work in synergy.

Our student representatives were:
• Lim Xin Bei (Faculty of Engineering)
• Natania Chong (Faculty of Languages and Linguistics)
• Nur Aisyah Binti Ahmad Kamil (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences)
• Foong Yin Kei (Faculty of Business and Economics)
• Hooi Qiu Yi (Faculty of Business and Economics)

Special congratulations to Nur Aisyah, who achieved 2nd Place, and Hooi Qiu Yi, who won 3rd Place for Best Presentation, an excellent achievement by both students!

We are proud of our students for representing UM with confidence and dedication, and we look forward to seeing how the knowledge, perspectives, and experiences gained from this forum will be brought back and shared, contributing to more sustainable and inclusive communities, both locally and globally 🇲🇾🇰🇷

On 28 January 2026, we were pleased to receive a visit from Liverpool John Moores University, represented by Ms Lucy Lamb, to discuss the upcoming UK–MUC Sustainable Entrepreneurship Summer Programme 2026.

Both sides reflected on last year’s programme and exchanged ideas on how it can be further improved. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and working together to ensure a smoother and more seamless programme this year.

On Monday, 26 January 2026, we received a visit from Professor Kazuhisa Shimada and Ms Kinosh*ta Yuka from the University of Fukui!

The visit provided an opportunity to share insights on Global Mobility Centre (GMC) operations, including how we manage mobility activities, coordinate programmes, and support mobility students through our buddy system. It was a meaningful exchange of practices, allowing both sides to learn from one another’s experiences.

We are pleased to share our knowledge and exchange practical insights, and we value opportunities such as this to strengthen mutual understanding and collaboration.
