The study
programme was formulated to assist students to attain the
required level and skills in Japanese Language and also to
provide strong fundamental knowledge in Science and
Mathematics so that they will be able to cope with the third
year curriculum of the NCT. The preparatory curriculum was
designed to meet the requirements set by Monbusho for
admission into NCT.
The evaluations of student performance and competency
during the course are based on daily test, weekly test and
semester examination for Japanese Language. Whereas for
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English Language, the
evaluations are based on course work and semester examination.
The passing mark for all subjects is 60%.
In addition to academic studies, the students are also
encouraged to participate in various activities held by
Japan
Cultural
Center
and also by the Japanese Community Club in
Kuala Lumpur
in order to familiarize the students to the
Japanese culture and customs. These activities are Japan
Festival Ikebana class, Origami class, Bon Odori Celebration,
Japanese Dance class, Film Shows and hosting visiting students
from
Japan
. This Center also provides the Japanese
Language classes for UTM students, translation and interpreter
services.
For future plan, hopefully a twinning programme will be
implemented to provide opportunity for UTM diploma graduates
to pursue engineering degree courses at
universities
in
Japan
.
