Student Application for Program A&B 2018-2 (1st cycle)

Dear Students who wish to apply for UMAP Program A&B 2018-2 (for Spring Semester 2019),

We are pleased to announce that the 1st cycle of student applications for Programs A&B 2018-2 (Spring 2019) has started. If you are interested in participating in one of these programs, please review the information on the website (http://umap.org/programs/a_b/ ) about the programs’ contents, length, available credits, language requirement and fees before applying.

The common application form for Programs A&B is available on the UMAP website (http://umap.org/forstudents/#application-procedure). The application deadline for UMAP Coordinators at your home institution is 25 July 2018; therefore, you need to submit your application according to the adapted schedule of your home institution.

For the acceptance of students’ applications, the following two steps must be completed:

APPLICATION — Students should complete the application form for their desired program in WORD format and submit it to the UMAP Coordinator at their home university/institution. Once the UMAP Coordinators receive the UMAP Application Form from their students, they will select which students to nominate to the UMAP International Secretariat (UMAP-IS) and send all selected application forms to the UMAP-IS by email at umap-is@umap.org

REGISTRATION — Coordinators need to register the information of each applicant at the designated page on the website (http://umap.org/members/ )

Please note;
1.  Only those students whose universities have participated in this program by sending the “Outline of Proposal” to UMAP are eligible to apply to other participating universities. Please confirm the list of participating universities by checking the website (http://umap.org/programs/a_b/)

2.  A maximum of two (2) students can be nominated by each university per semester; regardless, it may be possible to nominate additional students on a fee-paying basis depending on the policies of the host institutions. 

We look forward to receiving additional applications.

Students from UMAP Member Institutions who want to study abroad in New York State will have the opportunity to study at the College of Brockport for a semester or a full year.

UMAP 1st Board Meeting 2018

On April 25, 2018, the First UMAP Board Meeting 2018 was held at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) GSB in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

There were representatives from Brunei, China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Canada and Mexico also submitted the Power of Attorney. One of the significant decisions was to approve the establishment of sub-National Secretariats in eligible UMAP countries/territories, which will enable UMAP to expand its network and activate programs.

After the productive meeting, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) hosted Board Members to dinner and and a tour of Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

UMAP is looking forward to continuing discussions and developing further collaborations.
