While most private colleges in Malaysia put overseas-based and twinning programmes at the forefront of their marketing strategy, Institute Perkim-Goon (IPG) - the largest business college in Penang - has revealed that its primary focus is on its local programmes.

According to the insititute’s officials, this is grounded on their belief that local programmes are better tailored for Malaysia’s job market. While this is a reasonable line of thought, I don’t completely agree that it’s true. Nevertheless, I have to admit that their local programmes (which BTW are affiliated to the University College of Technology and Management Malaysia) are working out just fine for them - based on what some students have told me, that is.

Anyway, if you’re interested in finishing your tertiary education at IPG, give their website a look. They have a bunch of scholarships as well, though most of them seem to be distributed by The Star Education Fund.
