MMU hosted delegations from Hochschule Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, Germany, and Samarkand State Technical University (SSTU), Uzbekistan, during separate visits to its Cyberjaya campus on 8 and 9 September 2026.
A delegation of 30 students from Hochschule Osnabrück and Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM) visited MMU as part of an academic and cultural exchange programme. Led by Ms Sabine Koshalt and Ms Samantha Beyerlein-Grengk from the university’s International Relations Office, the delegation took part in several activities involving MMU students and academics on 8 September 2026.
Among the highlights was an academic interactive session organised by the Faculty of Applied Communication (FAC), titled “The Power of Communication: Inspiring, Influencing and Motivating Others Across Cultures”, led by Dr Sharina Cik Ibrahim. The session explored effective communication across different cultural settings. The visiting students also participated in a Student Engagement Session with MMU students, where they exchanged perspectives on student life and university experiences through group discussions and interactive activities.
The delegation also went on a campus tour covering the Faculty of Creative Multimedia (FCM), Faculty of Cinematic Arts (FCA), Faculty of Artificial Intelligence and Engineering (FAIE) and other campus facilities. They also visited the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab to explore applications in robotics and humanoid technologies, as well as Pixljaya. The visit coincided with the launch of Unlock 2026: Mindscape, an annual student showcase featuring creative and innovative works by FCM students, which the delegation also attended.
On 9 September, MMU received Dr Ozoda Yuldasheva, Advisor of Samarkand State Technical University (SSTU), Uzbekistan. Led by Ms Nadia Mahmud, Dean of FCM, the visit provided an opportunity for Dr Yuldasheva to learn more about MMU’s academic environment and facilities, while both sides explored potential areas for future collaboration. The visit included a campus tour of several key facilities.
The two engagements provided opportunities for academic and student exchange, while introducing the international visitors to MMU’s academic environment, facilities and areas of expertise.
