Sunway University and Sunway College’s Open Day allows teens to imagine their next chapter at university, making the transition feel less overwhelming.
FOR many parents, the months after SPM, IGCSE or UEC can feel like standing at crossroads.
Your teen is at the threshold of young adulthood, and suddenly the academic decisions they make now begin to shape the path ahead.
It’s an exciting time, but also a nerve-wrecking one filled with questions, dreams and the pressure of making “the right choice”.
And that’s exactly why Sunway University and Sunway College are organising its Open Day on Jan 17 and 18, 2026 — to give families clarity, confidence and a chance to make informed decisions together in an environment trusted by thousands of Malaysian parents every year.
Designed for discovery, the Sunway way
While websites and brochures offer plenty of information, nothing compares to stepping into Sunway’s vibrant campus, speaking to real academics, and seeing first-hand how your child might fit into a community.
At the Open Day, families can experience what truly distinguishes Sunway:
> Lecturers who take the time to understand your teen, not just their grades.
> Hands-on workshops in real studios, labs, and innovation spaces used by Sunway students daily.
> Guidance from industry advisors who help shape Sunway University curriculum so that what students learn is what employers want.
> A campus designed as part of the wider Sunway City ecosystem — with direct access to the Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway Lagoon, Sunway Pyramid, and world-class facilities just minutes apart.
In these personal, face-to-face interactions, many parents say they finally feel reassured that their child is in the right place — and teens can start imagining themselves thriving in a university built for their future.
Pathways tailored to every student’s goals
Every student is different, and Sunway education has long been known for offering one of Malaysia’s most comprehensive pathway ecosystems.
If your teen is still exploring their interests, Sunway College pre-university programmes offer a flexible way forward.
Options such as the Cambridge A-Level, Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY), Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP), Australian Matriculation and Sunway University Foundation in Arts or Science are well-rounded pathways that keep doors open.
These are not just academic routes, they are programmes backed by experienced educators, strong track records, and global recognition, enabling students to discover their strengths before committing to a degree.
For school leavers who already have a clear direction — perhaps in business, computing, engineering or the sciences — the Sunway University foundation or Sunway Diploma pathways offer a more focused start.
These programmes streamline the journey towards a specific degree, helping students build targeted knowledge early on.
World-class American pathway at Sunway University
For families exploring an American education pathway, Sunway University partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) offers an exciting and flexible option.
ASU has ranked the No.1 Most Innovative University in the US for 11 consecutive years, and students at Sunway can begin selected programmes locally before transferring to ASU through more than 20 established pathways.
At the same time, those who prefer to stay in Malaysia can also complete the full ASU degree entirely at Sunway University, enjoying the same curriculum, academic standards, and global recognition, all within a more cost-effective and supportive environment.
Debuting in 2026, the Sunway–ASU Excellence Scholarship offers 100% tuition fees from Sunway University and 100% ASU Online fees sponsored by Cintana Education LLC.
It is available for these Sunway-to-ASU programmes: Digital Communication (Advertising), Digital Media Design, Global Management, Psychology, and Computer Science (AI). Application deadlines are April 1 April and Aug 24, 2026.
Additionally, during Open Day, parents can consult Sunway Education experienced counsellors, who will map out options based on your teen’s learning style, goals and future aspirations.
Right questions, right answers
Walking into an Open Day prepared helps you and your growing teen get the most out of the experience. A few helpful questions include:
> What kind of career pathways can this programme lead to?
> Which pre-u or foundation route aligns best with my child’s personality, abilities and ambitions?
> How does Sunway University prepare students for the future of work?
> Are there scholarships or financial support options available?
