Strategic - Global - Excellence

Welcome to
Centre for Global Engagement

This office was established in 2009, known as the International Office and has been re-branded to Centre for International Relations (CIR) since 1 August 2019 with the aim of steering the internationalisation endeavours of the university. The CIR collaborates with faculties and various departments at the university to promote and enhance international educational efforts, with the goal of increasing global competence for the university community and beyond.

In line with the university-wide administrative restructuring effective 1 July 2025, CIR has been reorganized into the Centre for Global Engagement (CGE), known as UMPSA Global. This restructuring strengthens the university’s focus on international collaboration, while enhancing the overall support system for international stakeholders.
