Some of their partners are Kanagawa University Japan, Bahria University Pakistan, Tzu Chi University Taiwan, Prince of Songkla University Thailand, Nguyen Tat Thanh University Vietnam and Queen Mary University London.
What makes AIMST University stand out amongst their competitors is the variety of degree programmes that include computer training, writing and research in order to prepare students for work and to enhance their ability to apply technologies to all aspects of literacies. The medium of instruction for all courses is English, although the importance of the National Language will be emphasised in all activities of the University.
