To support USIM’s smart innovation journey, the partnership will be anchored on three pillars, namely the co-creation of an innovation ecosystem; talent development and the sharing of insights on higher education and business trends.
In a joint statement yesterday, TM and USIM said the collaboration will help to develop USIM into a smart university.
“Developing these pillars will allow USIM to pave its way towards a more seamless digital learning experience and improve its student experience processes.
