GLOBAL AND INTERNATIONALIZATION
In today’s interconnected landscape, opportunities grow when knowledge and expertise are shared across borders. The Global & Internationalization Unit, under the Global Entrepreneurship Research and Innovation Centre (GERIC), plays a central role in expanding the university’s global footprint through strategic partnerships and international collaborative initiatives.
The unit leads GERIC’s efforts in developing meaningful linkages with universities abroad, professional institutions, government bodies, and industry partners. Through international mobility programmes, joint activities, engagements, and global outreach initiatives, the unit supports a community that is well-prepared to operate in a rapidly evolving global ecosystem driven by innovation and cross-cultural perspectives.
GERIC has cultivated partnerships with organizations and institutions outside Malaysia, strengthening UMKEI’s global visibility and enhancing opportunities for academic exchange, leadership development, and research collaboration. Our key partners include:
• Women Leadership Foundation (WLF)
• Universitas Binawan, Indonesia
• Sohar University, Oman
• Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC)
• Akauntan Negara Malaysia (ANM)
While the unit continues to collaborate with departments within UMKEI, its main focus remains on establishing strong international linkages and expanding global engagement. Through these initiatives, the Global & Internationalization Unit positions GERIC as a dynamic hub for global collaboration, opening pathways for international opportunities and advancing UMKEI’s presence on the global stage.
