Global Partnerships & Affiliate Colleges

The University views partnerships as an important tool in building a knowledge community and to that end, it encourages different forms of strategic partnerships. These include collaborative engagements with affiliate colleges as well as international universities. Partnerships can take the form of franchise agreements, articulation agreements, credit transfers, dual awards, student exchanges, study abroad and more.

This is all spearheaded by the University's Centre for Collaborative Programmes (CCP). They are responsible for supporting and delivering the University’s programmes via our network of affiliate colleges both locally in Malaysia and globally. Services performed include managing compliance, operational support, institutional liaison, reporting and monitoring existing arrangements, and initiating new partnerships. If you are representing an institution and wish to be affiliated with or are looking into offering a UoC programme at your campus, we are happy to hear from you.

University of The Sunshine Coast, Australia

We’re the University of the Sunshine Coast. UniSC for short. A young, fresh university driven by an unwavering belief that community and culture are just as important as a world-class education, given by world-class educators. We’re not the biggest university. But we’re growing every day, and doing big things. Like ground-breaking research, championing sustainability, and producing gold-winning athletes and award-winning alumni. Being young has its benefits too. Our first campus, on the Sunshine Coast, opened its doors in 1996 (feels like yesterday). Today, our award-winning facilities span five campuses across Southeast Queensland. It also means you’re never going to be bombarded by stale traditions or hear phrases like “That’s the way we’ve always done it”. We prefer thinking that moves everyone forward. And our students, staff and researchers work hard every day to do just that. Together with our people, community, and partners, we’re building a safe, sustainable, supportive, and fun learning environment, where lifelong friends are made, and opportunities are earned.
