Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT)

Centers & i-Kohzas

At MJIIT, research is categorized into focus areas under several Centres and i-Kohzas.

Research @ MJIIT is classified into several distinct groups of i-Kohzas. Unlike typical research groups, i-Kohzas at MJIIT are formal structures for collaborative research. Each is led by a senior academic with group members comprising academics and researchers of similar interests, and students as junior members.

Within this framework, the Senpai-Kohai relationship or mentoring concept is realised from the moment a research student is admitted into the programme and becomes a member of the i-Kohzas. Junior members are nurtured and closely supported by their seniors, and there is strong collaboration and continuous guidance from professors and other senior members of the research group.
