Kajang, 5 February 2026 – The German University Preparatory Programme (GAPP) celebrated 122 students from Batch 2024, who successfully completed 20 months of intensive studies at the German-Malaysian Institute (GMI). The event was also attended by members of GMI Management Team, staff, and parents to honour the 2024 cohort’s academic excellence and readiness for further studies in Germany. 

Tuan Haji Ahmad Solihin bin Mohamed Yusoff, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of GMI, officiated the graduation ceremony.

Established in 2001, GAPP prepares students aspiring to pursue engineering studies in Germany. This 20-month preparatory programme follows the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CIE) curriculum and integrates rigorous academic instruction with practical training to meet international education standards.

  • Bildungskolleg Schumann, Weilheim
