From 15th until 26th January 2024, LiepU Senior specialist of International Relations Department Sintija Bruže participated on the Erasmus+ staff training exchange in the Multimedia University (MMU) in Malaysia, in Melacca and Cyberjaya campus, under Erasmus+ programme exchange project KA171 that both universities are realizing together.
MMU is the premier digital tech university in Malaysia which has specialized study programmes in Multimedia, Business, Engineering, IT/Computer Science, Law and Communication by having excellent research opportunities and close relation with the industry.
LiepU representative had various meetings with the professors and deans from different faculties: Faculty of Business, Faculty of Management, Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Faculty of IT and Computer Science. Meeting with the Director of International Relations, Collaboration and Engagement Dr. Abdul Aziz Ahmad and the Deputy Director of the Centre for Lifelong Education and Learning Innovation, Assoc. Prof. Dr Robert Jeyakumar was very enriching, as we had discussed the further goals and needs in the Erasmus+ student and academic staff exchange, because LiepU has been successfully cooperating in this project in the green human resource management field. During the meetings were discussed ideas of applying for the next Erasmus+ KA171 project proposal call, its objectives and recent topicalities, MMU international strategy and international projects, foreign full-time degree student recruitment and explored the MMU facilities, especially the entrepreneurship development centre, intelligent learning lab, etc. It was agreed to extend the Erasmus+ partnership agreement in Media Arts, as MMU has strong study direction in cinematic arts with their own cinema and different kinds of studios for the film development.
Soon one of LiepU lecturers will be visiting MMU on a teaching mobility, and LiepU is expecting to receive 2 students and 2 lecturers in the Business field.
