ABOUT ASIA SUMMER PROGRAM
What is Asia Summer Program?
Asia Summer Program is a dynamic two-week international summer program designed to explore topics relevant to Asia while fostering global connections and leadership skills.

Core Program Pillars
Academic Diversity and Credit Transfer
Intercultural Synergy
Professional Networking
Students can enroll in a wide array of specialized courses, ranging from Engineering and Technology to Business and Liberal Arts, taught by a distinguished faculty of international professors. Credits earned are designed to be transferable to home institutions, ensuring academic progress.
ASP 2026 is more than a classroom experience. It is a melting pot of traditions. Through organized cultural excursions, traditional craft workshops, and festivities, students gain a firsthand understanding of Malaysia’s diverse heritage and the broader Asian identity.
The program serves as a catalyst for professional growth. By working in multicultural teams on real-world projects, students build a global network of peers, mentors, and industry experts that lasts long after the summer ends.
A Legacy of Collaboration
Since its inception in 2012, the Asia Summer Program has evolved into a hallmark of regional educational cooperation. Following the success of previous cycles in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia, ASP 2026 at UniMAP continues the mission of creating a "borderless campus." We invite you to be part of this legacy and experience the warmth of Malaysian hospitality while sharpening your global edge.
