Universiti Teknologi Brunei ranks among top tech universities in Asean
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), a university focused on innovation through education and research, is now Brunei Darussalam's leading technological university. UTB is also committed to producing outstanding talent for a sustainable, global and enterprising society rooted in the Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) national philosophy to help achieve Brunei Vision 2035. UTB's commitment to achieving Brunei Vision 2035 was highlighted by the university's Vice-Chancellor Datin Paduka Professor Dr Zohrah Sulaiman (pic), in her remarks as the guest of honour at the UTB-MIC Computing Degree Programmes and BriCOMP certificate presentation ceremony on Thursday (July 18). She highlighted that UTB is ranked among the top nine technology and engineering universities in Asean by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2026. The university also debuted in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2025, securing a position among the top 801-1000 institutions worldwide and ranking among the 23 universities in Asean. She described this as an impressive accomplishment that reflects UTB's strong focus on academic excellence and innovation. The vice-chancellor also shared a list of the top 15 highest-paying jobs in the world for 2025, which included artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning engineer at number three, data scientist at number four, blockchain developer at number five, investment banker at number seven, cybersecurity specialist at number eight, cloud engineer at number 10, marketing manager at number 11 and management consultant at number 14. She explained that 'tech-centric growth fields like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity dominate. You may be wondering whether the ones listed above apply to the global markets. They do, and it means that UTB and MIC are preparing you for the world.' She continued, 'We are proud of our accredited programmes. The School of Computing and Informatics has attained accreditation from the British Computer Society (BCS) for all its undergraduate programmes, as well as dual partial accreditation for our Master of Science (By Coursework) in Computing and Information Systems.' BCS accreditation, she added, 'is recognised in more than 200 countries, which means you can work anywhere with a BCS-certified degree.' She also highlighted that the UTB School of Business' undergraduate programmes are accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EFMD accreditation indicates that a business school has met the organisation's rigorous standards for teaching and research quality, and that its degrees are recognised as credible by employers and other stakeholders. In addition, she said, 'UTB also offers modules to develop soft skills, such as effective communication, entrepreneurship, and ethics.' The university also has facilities to support a passion for information technology, AI and machine learning. 'The Huawei Academy provides industrial training on-site, and the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AiML) Hub is an innovation hub that supports AI talent through education, training, research, and innovation.' – Borneo Bulletin/ANN

Publicis' CEO dismisses Meta threat, raises yearly growth guidance
Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe, attends a conference at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, in Cannes, France, June 19, 2018. REUTERS/Eric Gaillard/File Photo (Reuters) -French advertising firm Publicis on Thursday raised its full-year organic growth forecast following stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, as CEO Arthur Sadoun dismissed concerns over Meta's AI-powered ad creation system. "When Meta comes along and says that they can do everything themselves, I think that they are completely underestimating the intelligence of our customers, who, moreover, are not fooled," he said during an earnings call. Sadoun highlighted clients' reluctance to entrust their data to single platforms. "None of our customers want to leave their data in the world of 'walled gardens.' None of our customers want to work with a single platform," he said, adding that customers wanted to measure the impact of their spending "which obviously cannot be offered by those that do it within their own walls." Publicis said it has completed its $12 billion, decade-long tech transformation and will now focus on executing its strategy. The company highlighted its proprietary platform, which leverages in-house AI and big data capabilities to track consumer behavior and target individualized ads for over 4 billion internet users globally. "I've been hearing for nine years that the platforms are going to 'eat us for breakfast.' Honestly, I think it's time to stop talking about how platforms are going to replace us, because it's not a reality," Sadoun stressed. The company upgraded its 2025 organic growth forecast to close to 5%, up from the previous range of 4% to 5%, after reporting 5.9% net revenue organic growth in the second quarter. Publicis cited a "unprecedented new business run" in the first half of 2025, including wins with Coca-Cola, Nespresso, Lego, Paramount, and Spotify. Second-quarter revenue rose 10%, with growth across all regions: 5.3% in the U.S., 4.6% in Europe and 5.7% in Asia-Pacific. The company reported $5.2 billion in net new business wins for the first half of 2025, outpacing flatlining competitors such as WPP, Omnicom, Dentsu, and Interpublic, according to JPMorgan data.

New doors open for students in Malaysia
STUDENTS in Malaysia have the chance to begin an American degree right after SPM or IGCSE, thanks to Sunway University's School of American Education (SAE). Delivered in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), SAE offers a flexible and affordable pathway to globally recognised qualifications. Driving this forward is the school's newly appointed dean, Associate Prof Dr Woo Pei Jun, who brings a strong background in American education and a deep understanding of what students and families value today: quality, security and future-readiness. With her leadership, the school is strengthening its focus on student wellbeing, academic excellence and flexible pathways for global success. "We recognise that parents are looking for stability, quality and assurance in their children's education. Our goal is to provide a world-class education that's safe, affordable and full of opportunity — right here in Malaysia, with the option to pursue global experiences when the time is right," said Dr Woo. ASU has been ranked No. 1 in the United States for innovation by the U.S. News & World Report for ten consecutive years, ahead of institutions such as MIT and Stanford. It is also listed among the top one per cent of universities globally by the Center for World University Rankings. GLOBALLY RECOGNISED DEGREE SAE currently offers four undergraduate degree programmes: Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Digital Communication (Advertising): Prepares students for careers in branding, content strategy and public relations, using a curriculum modelled after ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology: Covers behavioural science, mental health and cognitive processes, with applications in counselling, education and research. Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence): Equips students with technical skills in machine learning and AI development for future tech-driven industries. Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Digital Media Design: Focuses on creative media production, including web design, animation and digital storytelling. All programmes are fully delivered in Sunway University, the No.1 private university in ASEAN (AppliedHE 2025), supported by ASU-certified modules and teaching frameworks. Students completing the full degree will receive transcripts and scrolls from both Sunway University and ASU. FLEXIBLE PATHWAYS Through the American Degree Transfer Programme (ADTP), students may transfer to ASU or other universities in the United States and Canada. Past students have successfully continued their studies at institutions including Cornell, New York University, Johns Hopkins and the University of Michigan. SAE's ASU Pathway is designed for smooth academic progression, with courses structured for maximum credit transfer. More than 75 per cent of students have transferred successfully to overseas universities, many with scholarships. Students who complete their final year in the United States are eligible for the Optional Practical Training (OPT) scheme, allowing them to gain up to one year of work experience in the country after graduation, or up to three years for those in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. FALL 2025 INTAKE Applications are now open for the Fall 2025 intake, and prospective students are encouraged to apply early as spaces are limited. Sunway University is offering application fee waivers and scholarship opportunities, including for students planning to transfer to ASU or other Tier 1 universities in the United States and Canada.
