About ELS UPM
ELS UPM, the first on-campus ELS centre in Malaysia, is located within the north campus of Universiti Putra Malaysia in a township called Serdang, approximately 22 km south of Kuala Lumpur. This sustainable Green Campus has a uniquely conducive and calming environment for the pursuit of knowledge, with a lush sprawling panorama of tree-lined avenues, orchards, lakes and grassland.
Since 2013, ELS' Certified Intensive English Programme (CIEP) has been recognised and accepted by UPM as an English proficiency standard for international student admission. Students who complete the CIEP will significantly enhance their English and fulfil UPM's English requirements without the need for standardised tests such as IELTS, TOEFL or PTE.
