Building Aspiration for Kolej GENIUS Insan with Strategic Internationalisation Plan

Abstract

As a young, gifted institution, Kolej GENIUS Insan strives to make its presence felt in the academic landscape in this country and the region. This study explores the internationalisation programs that have been conducted by the college and discovers the participants’ experience in their journey in some of the programs they joined. Their personal insights helped enlighten the effectiveness of the organised internationalisation programs in shaping their mind and understanding on cultural values of the place and people they visited. This paper analysed their individual reflections shared in the form of written journal, reports, and videos. In their own words, the students had been incredibly positive with their involvement in the programs as they valued the pristine environment, system and culture which were considered refreshing and tantalising to their conscience and awareness. This new form of learning was positively welcome by all participants as it successfully provided those lessons never imagined from their typical student’s life in school. Their experience from the programs they joined would be valuable knowledge and skills that will stay with them in the years to come.
