Axiata Young Talent Programme – International Baccalaureate Pre-University Programme


The International Baccalaureate Pre-University Programme sees scholars being enrolled to complete the two-year International Baccalaureate (IB) programme at the International School of Penang (Uplands).
IB is a reputable programme tailored to provide scholars with a rounded education that prepares them for their university careers and lives ahead. We believe that the IB programme can develop young adults to be inquisitive, knowledgeable and caring, thus contributing towards creating a better world, recognising and respecting cultural differences and diversity.
Uplands has a renowned heritage with an international teaching faculty which focuses on quality education alongside extra-curricular activities that cultivate teamwork, confidence and all-roundedness. Students at Uplands have attained a consistent track record for academic results that are higher than the global average.
We will continue to sponsor their Undergraduate Degree Programme provided they are successful in obtaining placements in selected courses outlined by Axiata in the top universities* in the United Kingdom.
*The list of selected universities will vary from time to time depending on the annual international ranking system.
