Sunway Signature Collection: Prof. Chai Lay Ching Featured in The Edge

The following is an excerpt from an article by The Edge Malaysia:

For many students around the world, the higher education experience tends to hold many similarities. While the places and the courses may differ, many higher education institutions do tend to subscribe to similar methods and schools of thought.

However, Sunway University aims to redefine this experience with its newly developed Sunway Signature Collection — “an educational journey like no other”, according to pro vice-chancellor Professor Chai Lay Ching.

“We call it student experience reengineering. So the whole focus is on creating programmes and ecosystems that truly support students. Not just to learn knowledge and skills that are required within their programme, but also to acquire values and mindsets such as sustainable development, planetary health and entrepreneurship,” she explains.

Essentially, Chai says, the carefully curated Sunway Signature Collection student experience is the organisation’s answer to the disconnect that currently exists between the academic framework of learning and the skills and knowledge that is needed by the student to be a productive, contributing member of society.

This transformation is driven by four strategic pillars: namely personalised pathways for every ambition; industry as a classroom; global excellence, local impact; and future-proofing through sustainability and innovation.
