Achieving Global Accreditation and Recognition
Its constant achievements enabled Linton University College to progress steadfastly on the academic ladder. These achievements also include Linton’s capacity to provide quality accredited programmes to our students. By constantly abiding to strict accreditation criteria of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and other related local and international professional agencies, we are committed to work towards ensuring all our programmes are fully accredited and as such, we are proud to have one of the highest number of fully accredited programmes amongst private tertiary institutions.
Linton’s academic and quality assurance standards transcend international boundaries as our current degree programmes offered in collaboration with our UK partners namely the University of East London and Coventry University are validated in accordance to the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education’s framework. Our resolute focus in meeting international academic standards has resulted to the accreditation and recognition of Linton’s qualifications by numerous countries including the People’s Republic of China, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Mauritius and others.
Exploring Unchartered Territories
This welcoming upgrade from a reputable localised college to a University College-level institution with an international standard has undeniably boosted our confidence in striving further for excellence. Linton University College’s past successes and its new status as a University College have opened new opportunities for its Institution and at the same time, present a new set of challenges as there is a vast ocean of unchartered opportunities that has yet been explored. Making our way through each new path as we advance through this new academic year of 2010, Linton aims to use this new status as a platform for transformation as a full fledged University College, with immense passion and dedication to improve our image and ability to become a highly reputable institution in providing first class tertiary education to all generation, not just in Malaysia, but throughout the world.
Adhering closely to the nation’s mission to be recognised as Asia’s new education hub, Linton University College aims to position itself as a renowned international university college in the field of Engineering, Built Environment and Technology. We will continue to provide high standard education services to students from all around the world in these critical fields of studies with particular emphasis on practical and industry-oriented courses. Instead of becoming merely “paper qualified” individuals, we want our graduates to become “techno-preneur” professionals who are constantly prepared to explore new territories in their career fields, and have the ability and skills to explore “Terra Incognita” - the unchartered landscape of tomorrow. Linton University College looks forward to many years of uncompromising commitment to accomplish this VISION. We aim to make Linton a renowned centre of scholarship, learning and teaching, intellectual creativity and humane values. It is our mission now to elevate our distinguished Institution to become a full university within the next 5 years.
Enriching Students’ Experiences
In 2005, Linton University College took an important step by joining Legenda Education Group and relocated to an integrated campus in a university township in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan, approximately 50 km from the capital city and reachable within 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city centre.
With more than RM 1 billion invested in the development of the township, Linton University College is able to provide its students an excellent and dynamic learning environment. Now, Linton University College lies in a sprawling township of more than 200 acres, complete with high quality residential, teaching and sporting facilities, and other amenities. Within its own campus, Linton University College is equipped with modern facilities including state-of-the-art Engineering laboratories, computer laboratories, Visual Arts studios, spacious lecture theatres, and a well stocked library amongst other resources. Linton University College also provides a readily accessible advice and support services for its students under the ‘WE CARE’ pastoral care system throughout their study in its campus to ensure that all students are able to adapt well to their studies and to their newfound social environment. Our student-centric approach has always placed students at the centre of our education mission and stimulates them to take an active and effective part in their learning, and in their overall experience of our Institution. In doing so, it has captured the imagination of students from all over the world and thus, positions Linton University College as a premier education destination for students from more than 40 countries.
Internationalising Our Profile and Character
Linton University College’s excellent track record has indeed attracted many international students into its campus. At present, more than 2,500 students from over 40 countries have registered themselves as future graduates of our Institution. Linton University College has also expanded our academic human resources to include lecturers from diverse backgrounds and nations to accommodate our growing international student population.
Linton’s long-term association with the University of East London (UEL) and Coventry University provides a platform for it to function as a local tertiary institution that meets international academic standards, offering numerous internationally recognised (3+0) franchised programmes to our students. Through such synergistic collaborations, Linton University College has enhanced its international profile and character through joint development of curriculum, research, staff development and knowledge transfer with our international partners.
