Successful milestone: (In front, from left) Peninsula Higher Education president Tung Chee Kuan, Edward, Yayasan PKT patron and independent trustee Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak, Marchant, Tio, Peninsula Higher Education advisor Ian Pashby and Peninsula College Shah Alam director Cathy Edwards celebrate Peninsula College Shah Alam’s 27th Convocation Ceremony with graduates.

FOR a growing number of Peninsula College students, higher education is no longer confined to a single classroom, campus or even country.

From a “Campus-in-Industry” learning environment in Shah Alam to the University of Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom, students benefit from a unique combination of practical learning, global pathways and career-focused education.

This spirit of opportunity was celebrated as 562 graduates crossed the stage at Peninsula College Shah Alam’s 27th Convocation Ceremony, marking a significant milestone in their academic journeys and in the institution’s mission of transforming lives through education, career readiness and international partnerships.

‘Campus-in-Industry’ learning experience

Established in 1998, Peninsula College has spent nearly three decades redefining higher education through its distinctive “Campus-in-Industry” philosophy.

Located within the PKT Logistics Group ecosystem, students learn in an active business and logistics environment to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and workplace application.

This approach is particularly evident in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and Maritime Management, flagship disciplines that reflect the college’s commitment to developing industry- ready talent for sectors that drive regional and global economic growth.

Through close collaboration with industry practitioners, students gain practical exposure, professional competencies and workplace readiness that support successful career outcomes.

Supporting this educational approach is the INDUSTRY Framework, Peninsula College’s signature “Campus-in-Industry” model that integrates workplace learning, professional mentoring, industry-informed curricula, AI-powered digital tools, real-world projects, skills development and employability-focused experiences throughout the student journey.

Global pathways and international opportunities

A defining feature of the Peninsula experience is its longstanding partnership with the University of Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. This year marks 18 years of successful academic collaboration between the two institutions.

Through this partnership, students have access to globally recognised degree pathways across disciplines including Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Maritime Management, Business and Management, Accounting and Finance, Computing, and Law Enforcement, while benefiting from Peninsula’s “Campus-in-Industry” learning environment in Malaysia.

Beyond academic excellence, the partnership has created life-changing opportunities through scholarship-supported progression pathways to the United Kingdom.

Selected students may complete their final year studies at the University of Gloucestershire, gaining international exposure and broader global perspectives in a different academic environment.

The impact of this partnership was evident during this year’s convocation. Members of the 2025 scholarship cohort, Mahavighnen Nagaraj and Yan Yen Lin, returned to Malaysia to celebrate their graduation after successfully completing their final-year Business and Management studies at the University of Gloucestershire.

Their achievements demonstrate how international education can broaden horizons and strengthen personal growth. Building on this success, a new cohort of four students has begun their final year studies in the United Kingdom.

Representing Computer Science, Accounting and Finance, Business Studies and Digital Business, these students continue Peninsula’s growing tradition of international learning and global exposure.

Reflecting on the partnership, University of Gloucestershire vice-chancellor Dame Clare Marchant said, “One of the most rewarding aspects of our partnership with Peninsula College is witnessing students’ progress from Malaysia to the United Kingdom, embracing new experiences, cultures and opportunities along the way. Their achievements demonstrate the value of international education in preparing graduates for a global future.”

Highlighting the institution’s educational philosophy, PKT Logistics Group chief executive and managing director and managing director of Peninsula Higher Education Datuk Seri Michael Tio said, “By combining practical exposure within our ‘Campus-in-Industry’ environment with internationally recognised academic pathways, we empower students to develop both workplace readiness and a global outlook, ensuring they are prepared not only for employment but also for long-term success in a rapidly evolving world.”

Peninsula College Shah Alam chief executive Dr Edmund Edward added, “Every graduate represents a unique story of perseverance, growth and achievement.

“Whether their journey was completed in Malaysia or extended to the United Kingdom through our partnership with the University of Gloucestershire, we are proud to see our students graduate with the knowledge, confidence and global perspective needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.”

Complementing this approach is “Jom! Bekerja Sambil Belajar” (JBSB), which enables students to gain workplace exposure while combining academic learning with practical experience.

Crucial insight: A key element of Peninsula College’s INDUSTRY Framework, students learn directly from industry practitioners such as PKT Logistics Group customs brokerage and trade compliance senior director Balakrishnan Muthukaruppan.

The effectiveness of this approach is reflected in the institution’s graduate outcomes.

According to the Higher Education Ministry’s 2025 Graduate Tracer Study, Peninsula College Shah Alam achieved a 100% graduate employability rate, underscoring its success in preparing students for meaningful careers and long-term professional growth.

Earlier this year, the college’s innovative educational model also received national recognition through two Malaysia Book of Records achievements: Biggest Campus-in-Industry and Biggest Logistics College in Malaysia.

As the graduates celebrated this milestone, their achievements reflected the possibilities that emerge when practical learning, global opportunity and academic excellence come together.

From a “Campus-in-Industry” environment in Shah Alam to scholarship-supported pathways at the University of Gloucestershire, the college continues to equip future-ready graduates with the knowledge, experience and global outlook needed to succeed on both local and international stages.

Endearing experiences: Mahavighnen (far left) and Yan (second from left) with their University of Gloucestershire friends.

Mahavighnen: When I first began my studies at Peninsula College, I never imagined that my educational journey would eventually take me to the United Kingdom. The experience was truly transformative, helping me develop greater confidence, adaptability and a broader outlook on the world.

Yan: Studying at the University of Gloucestershire was an invaluable opportunity that challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and embrace new experiences. It strengthened my independence, broadened my horizons and gave me a deeper appreciation of the opportunities that international education can provide.

成功里程碑：（前排，从左至右）半岛高等教育校长董志宽、爱德华、PKT基金会赞助人兼独立受托人敦艾哈迈德·富兹·阿卜杜勒·拉扎克、马钱特、蒂奥、半岛高等教育顾问伊恩·帕什比和莎阿南半岛学院院长凯西·爱德华兹与毕业生们一起庆祝莎阿南半岛学院第27届毕业典礼。

对于越来越多的半岛学院学生来说，高等教育不再局限于单个教室、校园甚至国家。

从沙阿南的“工业园区”学习环境到英国格洛斯特郡大学，学生们受益于实践学习、全球发展路径和以职业为导向的教育的独特结合。

这种机遇精神在半岛学院莎阿南分校第 27 届毕业典礼上得到了颂扬，562 名毕业生走上舞台，标志着他们在学术道路上的一个重要里程碑，也标志着该学院通过教育、职业准备和国际合作改变生活的使命取得了重大进展。

“校园进企业”学习体验

半岛学院成立于 1998 年，近三十年来，它通过其独特的“校园进工业”理念，重新定义了高等教育。

身处 PKT 物流集团生态系统中，学生们在活跃的商业和物流环境中学习，以弥合学术知识与工作场所应用之间的差距。

这种做法在物流与供应链管理以及海事管理中尤为明显，这两个旗舰学科体现了学院致力于为推动区域和全球经济增长的行业培养具备行业所需人才的承诺。

通过与行业从业人员的密切合作，学生可以获得实践经验、专业能力和职场准备，从而支持其职业生涯的成功。

支持这种教育方法的是 INDUSTRY 框架，这是半岛学院的标志性“校园进出行业”模式，它将工作场所学习、专业指导、行业导向的课程、人工智能驱动的数字工具、真实世界的项目、技能发展和以就业能力为中心的体验贯穿学生的整个学习过程。

全球路径和国际机遇

半岛大学的一大特色是其与英国格洛斯特郡大学的长期合作关系。今年是两校成功开展学术合作的第18个年头。

通过这项合作，学生可以获得全球认可的跨学科学位课程，包括物流和供应链管理、海事管理、商业和管理、会计和金融、计算机和执法等，同时还能受益于半岛大学在马来西亚的“校内产业”学习环境。

除了学术上的卓越成就，该合作关系还通过奖学金支持的赴英国深造途径，创造了改变人生的机会。

部分优秀学生可在格洛斯特郡大学完成最后一年的学业，在不同的学术环境中获得国际视野和更广阔的全球视角。

这项合作的影响在今年的毕业典礼上显而易见。2025届奖学金获得者马哈维格南·纳加拉杰和颜彦林在成功完成格洛斯特郡大学最后一年的商业和管理学业后，返回马来西亚庆祝毕业。

他们的成就表明，国际教育能够拓展视野，促进个人成长。在此成功的基础上，新一批四名学生已在英国开始了他们的最后一年学习。

这些学生分别来自计算机科学、会计与金融、商业研究和数字商业等专业，延续了半岛学院日益增长的国际学习和全球视野的传统。

格洛斯特郡大学副校长克莱尔·马钱特女爵士在回顾此次合作时表示：“我们与半岛学院合作最令人欣慰的方面之一，就是见证学生们从马来西亚来到英国，一路拥抱新的体验、文化和机遇。他们的成就证明了国际教育在培养毕业生适应全球化未来方面的重要价值。”

PKT物流集团首席执行官兼董事总经理、半岛高等教育董事总经理拿督斯里Michael Tio在强调该机构的教育理念时表示：“通过将‘校内产业’环境中的实践经验与国际认可的学术途径相结合，我们使学生能够培养职场技能和全球视野，确保他们不仅为就业做好准备，而且能够在快速变化的世界中取得长期的成功。”

沙阿南半岛学院首席执行官埃德蒙·爱德华博士补充道：“每一位毕业生都代表着一个关于坚持不懈、成长和成就的独特故事。”

“无论他们的学业是在马来西亚完成，还是通过我们与格洛斯特郡大学的合作扩展到英国，我们都为我们的学生们能够带着在瞬息万变的世界中茁壮成长所需的知识、自信和全球视野毕业而感到自豪。”

与此方法相辅相成的是“Jom! Bekerja Sambil Belajar”（JBSB），它使学生能够在将学术学习与实践经验相结合的同时，获得工作场所的接触机会。

关键见解：作为半岛学院行业框架的一个关键要素，学生可以直接向行业从业者学习，例如 PKT 物流集团报关和贸易合规高级总监 Balakrishnan Muthukaruppan。

这种方法的有效性体现在该机构的毕业生就业情况上。

根据高等教育部 2025 年毕业生追踪研究，沙阿南半岛学院的毕业生就业率达到 100%，凸显了该学院在帮助学生为有意义的职业生涯和长期专业发展做好准备方面取得的成功。

今年早些时候，该学院的创新教育模式也通过两项马来西亚纪录大全的成就获得了国家认可：马来西亚最大的工业校园和最大的物流学院。

毕业生们庆祝这一里程碑之际，他们的成就体现了实践学习、全球机遇和卓越学术相结合所带来的各种可能性。

从莎阿南的“工业园区”环境到格洛斯特郡大学的奖学金支持途径，该学院不断为面向未来的毕业生提供在本地和国际舞台上取得成功所需的知识、经验和全球视野。

温馨时刻：Mahavighnen（最左）和 Yan（左二）与他们在格洛斯特郡大学的朋友们。

马哈维格宁：当我最初在半岛学院开始学习时，我从未想过我的求学之路最终会把我带到英国。这段经历真正改变了我的人生，帮助我培养了更强的自信心、适应能力和更广阔的世界观。

颜：在格洛斯特大学的学习经历是一次宝贵的机会，它挑战我走出舒适区，拥抱新的体验。它增强了我的独立性，拓宽了我的视野，也让我更深刻地体会到国际教育所能提供的机会。
