AIMS programme, formally known as M-I-T, aims to create a vibrant student mobility programme for citizens of all SEAMEO member countries. It has emerged from the Malaysia-Indonesia-Thailand (M-I-T) Student Mobility Pilot Project which was initiated in 2009 as collaboration between the governments of the 3 countries and SEAMEO RIHED. With growing regional and international interest in the Programme, AIMS has expanded to include 9 member countries including Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan and Korea. The Programme currently covers 10 study fields, including Hospitality and Tourism, Agriculture, Language and Culture, International Business, Food Science and Technology, Engineering, Economics, Environmental Management and Science, Biodiversity and Marine Science. By 2015, it has been ambitiously agreed as a short-term goal among AIMS member countries that at least 500 students will be mobilized across the region, with expanding disciplines as well as membership.

In MFU, we offer 3 disciplines under AIMS which are Food Science and Technology, Biodiversity and Tourism. All courses are taught in English.
