Introduction

The JAIST Partner University Master Connection Program (JUMP) is an academic initiative between the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The official signing ceremony for the JUMP program's Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) took place on November 4, 2024, at the UKM Chancellery.

JUMP serves as a pathway for UKM students to engage in research internships and pursue a master’s program at JAIST. UKM undergraduate students are eligible to apply. Selected candidates will complete an internship lasting a minimum of one week and a maximum of three months, followed by enrollment in the master's program (October intake) at JAIST, with financial support provided by JAIST.
