Study in Malaysia (in English) - ISEP Exchange
Located only 45 minutes outside of Kuala Lumpur, the Sultan Idris Education University offers a wonderful opportunity for immersion in Malaysian culture while still providing access to the big city. As a teacher-training university, UPSI offers a broad range of courses in English and the surrounding geographical area makes it ideal for outdoor sports such as mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing and white water rafting on local rivers and reservoirs.

Course Description
As part of UPSI's internationalization plan, faculty will teach any course that international students register for either bilingually or in English. This gives students access to a wide variety of courses throughout UPSI's curriculum. Some classes may be taught in Malay with English support from the faculty, and classes more geared toward international students will be taught entirely in English. Independent study and examinations can be arranged in most fields when no English-taught classes are available.
UPSI is dedicated to providing a well-balanced educational experience. They are particularly strong in Education, Agricultural Science, Arts, Music and Performing Arts, Science, Languages and Sports. They offer many unique courses, including: Batik, Pottery, Islamic Studies, Whitewater Rafting and Traditional Dance. Because UPSI is an education university, most of its courses will bear a teacher-training component.
Students typically enroll in 5-8 classes per term, which averages to 15-18 hours in class per week. A term runs for 17 weeks.
