On 1st April 2012, the Penang Regional Centre was relocated from
Bangunan Wawasan in China Street Ghaut to the Main Campus. The
relocation augurs well for the future, as most students can now enjoy
the necessary support services and learning support facilities all at one
location.

Chonnam National University (South Korea)
and DISTED College
The University signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with Chonnam National University (CNU) and DISTED
College on 3 February 2012 to facilitate academic cooperation
and collaboration. The three institutions have worked out
an arrangement to enable Korean students from CNU to
pursue credit-hour bearing courses in its short-term study
abroad programme in Penang. The course credits earned by
the CNU students from this study abroad English Language
programme, will be recognised by CNU and hence qualify
them for credit transfer when they go on to pursue a degreelevel
programme back in Chonnam National University.
