What is GOP?
Global Outreach Programme (GOP) is an internationalization program to further globalize the students
of UTM through academic visits to universities around the world. In
2009, about 100 students participated three GOPs to Thailand, China and
Brunei. This has opened up the horizon and extended students’ experience
to the higher education in other countries. The exposure of the
overseas visits and organizing the GOP helps to develop students’
generic skills and add values to their study programs.
Purpose of GOP?
By participating in the GOP, students will
have the opportunity to broaden their personal, academic &
professional horizons. Through the programme, students can :
-
Globalize their educational experience by adding an international dimension to their degree
-
Enhance academic opportunities beyond those offered by UTM
-
Establish professional & career opportunities by networking with other students, academics & professional organizations
-
Improve language skills, cross-cultural understanding & cross-cultural & interpersonal communication
-
Experience personal growth by developing self confidence, independence & social skills
-
Incorporate these new experiences into their resumes so that they stand out from the crowd in an ever increasingly global workforce
