“Education is not the filling of a bucket but the lighting of a fire.” – William Butler Yeats
UCYP Malaysia has taken a significant stride towards advancing its international standing with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement with Beijing Information Science and Technology University (BISTU), one of the leading educational institutions in the People’s Republic of China. BISTU is a distinguished public university renowned for its expertise in engineering disciplines, along with a diverse range of programs in management, administration, and liberal studies. The collaboration, which began in 2019, has led to fruitful partnerships in publishing, research, and academic affairs.
BISTU’s active engagement in various international conferences organized by UCYP has further strengthened the collaborative ties between the two institutions. This strategic partnership has brought significant benefits to both universities, nurturing a dynamic environment conducive to academic growth and intercultural dialogue.

This dual-degree approach ensures that students gain a well-rounded education while acquiring valuable insights and perspectives from both institutions.
