SEGi in tie-up with China colleges to provide English language courses

KUALA LUMPUR: SEG INTERNATIONAL BHD [] (SEGi) is collaborating with China's Xinjiang Language Centre and Linyi Normal University to provide its expertise and syllabus in intensive English language programme and foundation courses.

SEGi said on Friday, March 4 the courses would be at Xinjiang Language Centre's 24 institutions to be set up within the next 12 months in Xinjiang and other provinces in China.

'SEGi will be able to tap into the Language Centre's 20,000 student base who are eyeing quality education beyond the shores of China after the completion of their initial studies in their home country,' it said.

Under the collaboration, students will sit for SEGi's language courses and foundation programmes in the China-based institutions for between six months and one year.

They will have to complete their foundation for another three to four months at SEGi's campuses in Malaysia. The students will be assessed before they complete their studies at each level, both in China and when they are studying at SEGi campuses in Malaysia.

The students will have the option to take up various degree programmes available at SEGi including medicine, pharmacy, optometry, engineering, computing, business, accountancy, psychology awarded by SEGi University College or twinned with its consortium of global partners.

SEGi said it is also in final stages of discussions with government-owned Linyi Normal University on a similar collaboration.

The university has six campuses and more than 30,000 full-time students on campus.

Under the collaboration with Linyi, students who have completed their diploma studies or the first part of their degrees in the Chinese university, can take up business, management and accountancy degrees at SEGi University College in Malaysia.
