MATFP Academic Engagement Day 2025

The MATFP Academic Engagement Day is a much-anticipated annual event that brings together students, academic staff of the Master of Arts in Translation for Professionals (MATFP) programme, and the management team in a relaxed and engaging setting. More than just a gathering, it serves as a platform to foster meaningful connections, inspire learning, and celebrate the vibrant academic community we are collectively building.

This year’s event took place on 30th April 2025 at the Banquet Hall, Canselori II, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), with approximately 60 students in attendance, alongside MATFP lecturers and executive committee members.

One of the highlights of the event was a heartfelt sharing session by Hussein Darw Kamal Hussein, a current student, who reflected on his personal learning journey in the programme—offering inspiration and encouragement to his peers. The event was also graced by Dr. Ilangko, a respected faculty member who is soon to retire. He shared his invaluable experiences and insights gained over the years as part of the MATFP team, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

MATFP Academic Engagement Day 2025 was truly a celebration of academic camaraderie, reflection, and forward-looking motivation. We look forward to continuing this tradition in the years to come.
