UCSI University opens door for students everywhere. It collaborates with the world’s leading universities, engages the best minds and partners with global companies.

UCSI University stands out as Malaysia’s best private university in the QS World University Rankings 2019. It is a top six university in Malaysia – only UCSI and the nation’s five research universities made the global top 500 benchmark – and it is distinguished in the top 2% of all universities in the world. UCSI is also regarded as one of the world’s best universities, ranked in the top 70 in the QS World Top 70 Under 50 (2019) rankings that rates universities under 50 years old.

These latest milestones cap a memorable year for UCSI. The University was previously distinguished as Asia’s fastest rising university in the QS University Rankings: Asia 2018 after making a meteoric 131- spot climb. It is also ranked as a global top 100 university for performing arts in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018 – a remarkable distinction based solely on the merits of its Institute of Music. Additionally, UCSI is rated in Tier 5 (Emerging Universities) – the highest rating achieved by universities under 15 years old – in SETARA 2017, on

a par with established foreign branch campuses in Malaysia.

Long renowned for its excellent track record in teaching and learning, UCSI is quickly making a name for itself in research and innovation. The number of research publications has increased by 155% from 2013 to 2016 while the University’s cumulative impact factor score has increased by 957% over the same period. The number of UCSI’s Scopus/ ISI publications has also doubled from 2015 to 2016, reflecting the increasing focus on scholarly pursuit.

This distinction opens doors for UCSI students and staff when it comes to collaboration with the world’s best companies, research institutes and

universities. Since 2014, UCSI’s top students have been annually selected to advance high impact research at Harvard University, Imperial College London, the University of Chicago and Tsinghua University, among others. A batch of Pharmacy students also furthered research at the University of British Columbia and more endeavours are in the pipeline with leading universities in the Ivy League, the Russell Group, Universitas 21 and Australia’s Group of Eight. More than 10,000 students from over 110 nations study at UCSI, making the campus a vibrant melting pot of culture and diversity. UCSI also partners with more than 4,200 global companies to provide students with structured internship programmes and job opportunities. These tie-ups provide most UCSI students with at least two months of internship each year. 97.8% of UCSI’s industry partners state that they would like to rehire UCSI interns on the basis of their performance, capabilities and professionalism.

With these unique strengths and more, UCSI stands out as a University that offers an education few can, provides experiences others can’t and delivers life-defining outcomes for students everywhere.

SCHOOL OFARCHITECTURE AND BUILT ENVIRONMENTAt UCSI University’s School of Architecture and Built Environment, we believe that our future designers and thinkers seek liveability and right livelihood, inclusiveness, ethical sustainability, environmental and social responsiveness, conviviality and cultural robustness in our built environments. The underlying premise of our education is humanistic, communal and embedded in user-centric concerns; and in the best of examples, our teaching approaches combine abstract theory with concrete practices.

Our students frequently work alongside revered experts on undergraduate projects that address global challenges — the result of the School’s vast partnership with renowned architects both local and international. They test their knowledge and skills against their peers in the industry. And they enjoy many opportunities to explore and hone their craft. On top of eye-opening fieldworks, our students enjoy two months of Co-Operative placement for every year of study. With more than 4,000 companies in the list of UCSI’s Co-Op partners, this offers students the opportunity to pursuetheir internship with some of the most prestigious namesin the industry.

Noted for its impressive awards and accolades, the School has experienced great success but none greater than that of its students. Some have won top awards in national and international competitions. Some have gone on to top architecture firms. And some are recognised for their contributions to the community. For many, their own success story begins long before graduation.

We are as good as the dedicated and driven students who enrol in it. At the forefront of their disciplines are our faculty members, who had extensive publication and great impact on the heritage sustainability of Malaysia’s architecture. By bringing their experiences into the classroom, our academics cater to an exhilarating learning environment and learners will expand their skills and capabilities as they balance academic mastery with industrial application.

We know that the creation of architecture requires passion, intelligence and a broad range of skills — from leadership and communication to technical know-how. So we provide our students with the strongest foundations. This is simply the microcosm of a culture that nurtures excellence — one that you will experience, first-hand.

You’ll need an ideal start if you’re going to make your mark in an industry that will undergo seismic shifts in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And you’d like to delve into the built environment from day one instead of reading another general pre-university programme.

As students, you will thrive as you develop a sense of both breadth and depth through courses infused with market-driven software. These courses — from building construction and technology to the history of architecture — will equip you with creative design and practical skills. You will also benefit from yearly visits to architectural sites in Asia — Bali, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Korea, Tokyo and Beijing, for example — that complements your learning experience. Here, you join a community of students and lecturers who are passionate about architecture and share an environmental commitment. As a graduate, you will leave with a desire to make a positive contribution to the lives of people and the environments in which they live.

The students were guided by two renowned architects from Taiwan who are visiting professors of UCSI, Professor Huang Sheng-Yuan and Dr Chen Xuang-Cheng. The project caught the attention of QS Reimagining Education Star Awards 2015 and was one of the shortlisted innovations around the world.

DR AR CHEN XUAN-CHENGAdjunct Lecturer of Department of Architecture in Chung Yuan Christian University • Directors of the SWEETENEducational Foundation • Curator of THE 201 ART • Architect of Archiblur Lab

Chen's work has allowed him to be a nomad and vacillating practitioner, and therefore margins are not limits but rather the manifestations of thought. Objects can always open up to heterogeneous opposites. Chen takes the point of greatest tension from between these opposites — such as art and architecture, architectural objects and architec-tural installation, or body and perception — to carefully and concretely undertake his art practice. Chen is currently a lecturer in the Department of Architecture at Chung Yuan Christian University and has served as an art consultant and curator for The 201 Art, an architect for Archiblur Lab and a navigator for Interbreeding Field.
