WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE ACADEMIC DIRECTOR OF ELS UPM

Welcome, and thank you for checking out ELS Language Centres, UPM! For many new international students here, ELS UPM marks the start of their higher education journey in Malaysia.

We provide a direct pathway to UPM undergraduate and postgraduate programmes through our award-winning and internationally-accredited Certified Intensive English Programme (CIEP). Since 2013, UPM students have fulfilled their English language requirements by completing the CIEP – no IELTS or TOEFL exam required.

Aside from providing quality English language training, ELS UPM is also uniquely situated to support students who are adjusting to the university environment and living away from home. While improving your English, you can enjoy easy access to the lush greenery and all the university facilities on UPM’s renowned Green Campus.

To prospective students, I wish you all the best in your application to UPM. If you have already received your UPM offer letter – congratulations! I look forward to seeing you at ELS UPM soon.
