SINTOK, 17 May 2026: The Othman Yeop Abdullah Graduate School of Business (OYAGSB) continues to strengthen its global academic network through international mobility initiatives with renowned partner institutions worldwide. In line with this commitment, OYAGSB is pleased to welcome Ms Sakina Goulamhossein, an MBA mobility student from ICN Business School, France, for a one-semester academic mobility programme at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM).
Throughout her semester at OYAGSB, Ms Sakina will undertake four MBA courses, providing her with the opportunity to experience the school’s dynamic academic environment, multicultural learning ecosystem, and international exposure offered through UUM. The programme also serves as a valuable platform for cross-cultural engagement and collaborative learning among postgraduate students from diverse backgrounds.
Ms Sakina was warmly received by Datuk Prof. Ts. Dr Norazah Mohd Suki, Deputy Dean (Academic & International), who expressed her appreciation for the growing international participation in OYAGSB’s mobility programmes, particularly from European institutions.
Highlighting the strengthening relationships between OYAGSB and its global partner universities, Datuk Prof. Norazah noted that such academic exchanges reflect the international community’s confidence in the school’s postgraduate excellence, particularly its AACSB and AMBA-accredited MBA programmes.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to strengthening global academic synergies and providing transformative learning experiences for students across our international network,” she said.
Both ICN Business School and OYAGSB are accredited by the prestigious Association of MBAs (AMBA), reflecting their shared commitment to excellence in MBA education and adherence to internationally recognised academic standards.
The mobility initiative is expected to further strengthen the academic relationship between the two institutions while promoting internationalisation, cultural exchange, and collaborative learning among postgraduate students. It also reinforces OYAGSB’s ongoing efforts to expand its international academic footprint and enhance global engagement within higher education.
OYAGSB looks forward to broadening its strategic collaborations with leading institutions worldwide and welcoming more international students from Europe and beyond through future mobility programmes, academic exchanges, and collaborative initiatives.
