Message from the Executive Director

Selamat Datang and welcome to the Asia-Europe Institute (AEI)!

AEI aspires to be a centre of excellence for teaching and learning, research and
international reference on Asia and Europe. We focus on quality academic and research
work through partnerships between Asia and Europe. We offer a variety of
postgraduate programmes on these two regions and encourage research that supports
these programmes. In addition, we run special lectures of eminent speakers, summer
schools and events that increase awareness and broaden the understanding of issues
pertaining to the two regions.

AEI is located on a serene campus, peaceful residential environment and commercial
area. The institute is equipped with teaching and learning facilities that help you to excel
in your studies. Our in-campus sports and recreational facilities will enable you to have
an enriching and balanced education. A vital ingredient for success is our staff, leading
names in their fields of expertise and dedicated to making your learning process
inspirational, enjoyable and useful. Our resource centre and IT facilities, study tours and
self-development opportunities in pursuit of advanced knowledge and skills, offer you a
wide range of options.

I hope that you will have a unique experience at AEI, enjoy the camaraderie and
friendship of people from various countries, and remain in touch as an alumni of AEI
upon graduation.
