STUDENTS in the northern region can now pursue the University of Wollongong (UOW) Bachelor of Commerce degree programme at INTI International College Penang.

The programme is designed to enable students to pursue an Australian degree at affordable rates.

Students can pursue the programme with major in Finance, Accounting, Management or Marketing or a combination of two majors for a double major award.

The college’s principal Dr Michael Yap said the well-received programme has been running successfully at INTI’s campus in Subang Jaya since last year.

“We have now decided to provide an opportunity for students in Penang and the northern region to enrol as UOW students.

“They will then have access to online resources such as e-books, e-journals, and e-teaching materials,” he said.

He said the content taught in the college was identical to UOW and transfer options such as 2+1, 1.5+1.5, 1+2 can be arranged for students to continue their studies in the university.

The launching of the programme at INTI Penang campus in Bukit Jambul was attended by UOW deputy vice-chancellor (International) Prof Joe Chicharo.

The first intake for the programme is next month.
