Nilai University plans to work with the Outward Bound Trust of Malaysia to introduce an Outward Bound course into Nilai U’s curriculum. The Outward Bound course has been added to the offering because it is designed to develop and strengthen the inner character by allowing students to learn through experience.

Such courses are very much in line with Nilai U’s ethos of ‘Enrichment for Life’ which seeks to build students into academically proficient and socially confident young adults. This is down to the holistic approach that Nilai U adopts towards education.
