ObjectivesBy 2015, Universiti Brunei Darussalam is aiming a place in the Top 50 in Asia as the first class international university with distinctive national identity (About UBD: UBD Strategies, 2011). In order to achieve this vision, UBD have continuously made concrete strategies to ensure that the students receive excellent learning experience through excellent academic teaching staffs and world-class research such as the Discovery Year programme. As part of the objective, The Spectaculars had carried out their statistical research to determine how much UBD has achieved to raise its international profile.

The Spectaculars had found that the majority of international students were from the Brunei-U.S. English Language Enrichment Program for ASEAN 2012. Why is this so? [continuation to the next slide]
“…Spearheaded by Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) and the East-West Center (EWC) in Hawaii, the Brunei-US English Language Enrichment Project for ASEAN is the brainchild of the respective governments to promote ASEAN integration.
"The language of ASEAN is English, the language of international engagement generally," said Dr Charles Morrison, EWC's president. "The purpose is to strengthen the institutions that teach English in the countries that need it the most Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam."
Brunei and the US have jointly assessed the needs of the four countries after making visits there, and the programme's first participants will come to UBD in two weeks to begin training.
After three months, they will continue their training at EWC…”(Quratul-Ain Bandial, 2012)
