At the Malaysian Institute of Art, the education in creative arts provided includes a conducive learning environment and the motivation for its students to drive their artistic passion in their respective course programmes. The success of their students cannot be made possible without the assistance and guidance from MIA’s academic staff who proudly possess genuine attributes from both local and abroad universities as well as their invaluable experience in the appropriate fields.  

To ensure that they can enrichen students’ learning options, MIA has formed several partnerships with other prestigious institutions that are originally located in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and China. This advantageous bond between these institutions allows MIA graduates to continue and participate in Degree programmes abroad. This can be equally applied to local universities and colleges as well.
