Uni Enrol, Malaysia’s largest university enrolment platform, has partnered with Cempaka International School, a leading name in Malaysia’s international education landscape known for its academic excellence and innovative learning culture. This collaboration positions Cempaka as one of the first international schools in Malaysia to integrate data-driven, technology-led counselling into its education framework, providing students and parents with real-time insights, personalised recommendations, and guidance that goes beyond traditional counselling methods.
Through Uni Enrol’s advanced Pathway Match system, an AI-driven platform that analyses each student’s academic results, interests, and financial considerations, Cempaka students now receive tailored recommendations on suitable universities, programmes, and scholarships, both locally and internationally. The system also allows parents to actively participate in their child’s planning journey through shared digital access and progress tracking, giving families a comprehensive view of their child’s goals, course matches, and application milestones. This level of transparency helps parents and students make informed decisions together, fostering confidence and clarity throughout the process.
Rickson Khaw, CEO of Uni Enrol, highlighted the importance of this approach, saying, “We’ve always believed that every student deserves access to the best opportunities, not limited by information or affordability. Cempaka’s forward-thinking approach demonstrates a clear commitment to preparing students for the future combining data, technology, and collaboration between students, parents, and counselors to help them make smarter, more confident decisions about higher education.”
Through this partnership, Cempaka students gain personalised university matches that suit their strengths and aspirations, maximised scholarship opportunities to support financial planning, and end-to-end guidance covering everything from counselling and applications to visa processing, accommodation, and pre-departure briefings. The collaboration also provides global access to institutions across the UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Europe, and Asia, while engaging parents with real-time updates that enable meaningful family discussions about educational goals and options.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, Cempaka and Uni Enrol will jointly conduct structured initiatives throughout the academic year, including university fairs, career talks, scholarship workshops, and parent engagement sessions. Hisham Hamzah, Managing Director of Cempaka International School, emphasised the school’s commitment to progressive education, saying, “At Cempaka, we have always prided ourselves on evolving with the times. Education today must not only prepare students academically but also empower them with data, technology, and insight. By partnering with Uni Enrol, we are equipping our students and their parents with a smarter, more transparent way to explore pathways and make well-informed choices that align with their strengths and aspirations.”
