Key Highlights of the Exhibitions

1. Early Application System: A new early application system has been established for the 2026 entrance examinations in response to increased applicant numbers. This initiative helps facilitate early decision-making regarding educational paths. Candidates can also apply via the “Pathway Special Selection,” which allows applicants who attend introductory information sessions about IT programs to submit their applications sooner.

2. Practical IT and AI Education: SAK University emphasizes practical learning in IT and AI to ensure graduates possess both degrees and applicable skills. All instructors are active engineers, allowing students to gain firsthand experience in modern development practices. Specialized AI courses include content that is rarely available in domestic settings, fostering an in-depth and practical understanding of AI and data science.

3. Partnership with the University of Essex: By aligning with the University of Essex, SAK University presents students with the opportunity to receive world-class education in their native language. Students can earn a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in three years and opt to continue into a graduate program for a postgraduate diploma. The pathway program also enables students to study abroad in the UK to pursue a Master’s or Ph.D.

4. English Language Support: SAK University is committed to supporting students aiming for the pathway programs by providing free English conversation training with native instructors. This is a crucial resource as students need to achieve a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 with no individual scores below 5.5 to take advantage of these opportunities.
