Postgraduate education at UCSI revolves around one thing: smarter solutions for a smarter planet. In science, business and the arts, UCSI devotes itself to address society’s biggest challenges and prepares postgraduate students for leadership in today’s world of end-to-end responsibility. And as you obtain a defining credential, you will see how a UCSI education gives you an edge to make your next giant leap. 

Research at UCSI is vibrant as it is diverse. Postgraduate students and academics work hand-in-hand each day to create new knowledge, advance fundamental know-how and formulate solutions that address the many needs and issues concerning society, the industry and the environment.

As a postgraduate student at UCSI, you can look forward to working with research supervisors who push the frontiers of knowledge in their respective disciplines. Like them, you will enjoy avenues to publish your findings in high-impact journals, work with modern facilities and participate in international conferences.

The focus on the practical application of research underpins UCSI’s approach to research. The University’s ethos of promoting interdisciplinary endeavours also fosters the cross-fertilisation of ideas from staff and peers in our postgraduate community. This supports the immersive environment that makes UCSI an exciting place where new ground is broken on a regular basis.

UCSI constantly hosts some of the world’s most influential minds in science and the liberal arts such as Harvard’s Professor Gordon Harold Williams, former Visiting Professor at King’s College London Dr N. Sreeharan, Professor of European Public Health’s Martin McKee, and many more.

Postgraduate teaching at UCSI is delivered in a multi-mode format for full-time and part-time students. Programmes are either research or coursework-based and students are required to complete a range of core and optional courses that are supported by lectures and seminars during their course of study.

Performance in research-based programmes is evaluated by findings, the way results influence fundamental knowledge and the impact factor of one’s research. Students who opt for the coursework-based route are generally assessed through a combination of assignments, written exams and dissertations.

Presently, UCSI is home to 8 Fellows of Academy of Sciences Malaysia and the number of Scopus/ISI publications tripled from 2015 (151) to 2020 (464).
