Automation and Engineering
Through Bosch Rexroth Academy in Germany, UMP students will gain hands-on experience in industrial automation equipment, which would add value to UMP graduates, especially in today’s competitive job market.
UMP hopes to explore other collaborations in the long term, especially in the areas of competencies and student development programs, as well as broader reskilling and upskilling. UMP Rexroth Bosch Academy serves as a platform for curriculum programs based on industry needs.
UMP Rexroth Bosch Academy is also an advanced training center based on Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) technology. UMP's facility has been equipped with the necessary training equipment from Bosch Rexroth’s training academy, with its syllabus and modules tailored to the local market.
The certification programs offered by the center will enhance individual excellence in providing the IR4.0 workforce and extend this opportunity not only to the UMP community but to the entire country. Through this academy, UMP is also instrumental in driving IR4.0 migration among industries, especially on the East Coast of Malaysia.
