Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) Dubai Campus has concluded a series of summer initiatives designed to extend learning beyond the classroom, provide university students with international academic exposure and enable school students to explore future study pathways through practical, university-style experiences, it was revealed in a press statement.
The initiatives included a four-week Summer Immersion Programme at INTI International University in Malaysia, the participation of two MAHE Dubai students in the National University of Singapore Young Fellowship Programme 2026, and the MAHE Dubai Summer Camp 2026 for Grade 11 and 12 students.
A group of 23 MAHE Dubai students participated in the four-week Summer Immersion Programme at INTI International University, accompanied by faculty mentor Dr. Subburaj Alagarsamy. The programme combined academic workshops with cultural immersion, peer learning, industry-relevant sessions and site visits.
Cultural diversity
Sessions explored areas including business, communication, sustainability, digital entrepreneurship, strategic management, cultural diversity and global collaboration. Working alongside peers in Malaysia and engaging with different academic and cultural perspectives enabled students to apply classroom learning in a new setting.
MAHE Dubai also participated in the National University of Singapore Young Fellowship Programme 2026, with two students representing the university in a research-intensive international academic environment.
Research-incentive
The experience gave students exposure to a research-intensive academic environment and introduced them to the expectations and possibilities associated with advanced research, helping them consider future academic and professional pathways.
“These initiatives reflect our commitment to creating an education experience that is globally connected, academically rigorous and responsive to the skills students will need in the future,” noted Dr. S. Sudhindra, Pro Vice Chancellor, MAHE Dubai.
