AIA BA (HONS) IN ACCOUNTANCY PARTNERS

ONE YEAR STUDY EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

With the AIA BA (Hons) in Accountancy you will have the unique opportunity

to participate in an exchange programme for one year, with work experience

of three months. You will gain invaluable experience of living and working in

another country and culture—whilst achieving your degree and the AIA

Professional Qualification.

This is a special study exchange programme for undergraduate students on

the programme. However, if you are an undergraduate at any university in

Malaysia or the UK, you can transfer to our programme and one of our

participating universities, without losing any of your study time and the

modules, semesters and syllabus you have already covered.

OVERVIEW

Period: 1 year (with the option to extend)

Work Experience: Three months' work experience (with the option to

extend)

Countries: Malaysia and UK

Universities: Malaysia and UK

Credit Transfer and Exemptions: Yes

Professional Qualification: AIA

You can choose to take part in the Study Exchange Programme for the

second year of your course, or you can opt for one or two semesters in

your second or third year of study.

If you’re a UK student who intends on applying for the exchange

programme in your second year—and you are taking year-long

modules—the earliest that you can expect to participate in the

exchange, would be the February semester of your second year.

Under the one year study exchange programme you will earn degree

credits and gain three months' work experience.

STUDY EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

Student exchange programmes provide you with opportunities that you

simply could not get anywhere else. Whether you want to travel in order

to earn credits, broaden your horizons, or experience a new culture,

there are plenty of benefits to be had.

EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS

One of the main reasons why students choose to participate in exchange

programmes is for the learning opportunities they provide. Aside from

simply earning credits in basic subjects, you can also become acceptant

of alternative ways to learn. You will learn to analyse the things around

you in a constructive manner and learn how to solve problems on your

own.

International learning and knowledge propels you towards acceptance

and understanding of an array of different cultural and community

perspectives.

Awareness and adoption of alternative, multi-faceted approaches to

learning.

Analytical and problem solving skills.

Enhanced interest in global issues as well as a broader general

knowledge.

PERSONAL BENEFITS

While adding to your education is very important, you can also benefit on

a personal level. By having the opportunity to discover yourself in a place

that is unfamiliar to you, you develop self-awareness and self-esteem,

you will learn the ability to confront social challenges outside of your

comfort zone and deal with problems head-on.

Self-development and awareness leading to enhanced self-confidence

and self-esteem. This is often the most noticeable change in returned

exchange students.

Maturity and social poise, fuelled by the necessity to confront challenges

outside a familiar support network and comfort zone.

A tremendous sense of accomplishment upon completion encourages

students to develop independent opinions, make informed decisions and

strive to attain fresh goals.

LONG-TERM BENEFITS

Although an exchange programme is typically only a semester or a single

academic year in length, students who participate in them learn skills that

will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Once you've finished your

university education and are actively seeking employment, there is no

doubt that employers will look favourably upon students who have

travelled around the world. The social changes that take place in

exchange students are remarkable; they are often more flexible in any

‘foreign’ situation, whether this means taking a new job, embarking on a

new course of study or speaking publicly in front of their peers.

Students find themselves more comfortable in ‘foreign’ environments.

Prospective employers in almost

every field look favourably upon

experience gained while living

overseas and knowledge

obtained of another language

and culture.

Increased pressure to

communicate and relate to others

develops an awareness of group

dynamics and personal

sensitivity towards others.

Successful programme

completion represents an

excellent measure of personal

flexibility, encompassing an

ability to reach compromise,

focus and succeed through

challenging times.
