Eye Tracking applications is related to research involving information processing, such as reading, scene perception, visual searching, music reading, and typing. The basic tenet is that different eye movement measures can inform us about cognitive activities during learning, which are still not easily assessable by individuals. Over the years, eye tracking technology is believed to deepen our understanding of human behaviour and create new frontiers in fields such as psychology and neuroscience, human development, clinical research, and many more.

ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM (EEG)

The Centre is also equipped with an EEG, which provides students the with the essential opportunity to learn about human mental health states, thoughts, and imagination. The use of EEG involves placing conductive electrodes on the scalp which measure the small electrical potentials that arise outside of the head due to neuronal action within the brain. EEG is widely applied in neuroscience research, clinical research, neuromarketing, and many more. As a method primarily used to record the electrical activity in the brain, the EEG can also be incorporated into research involving eye tracking technology.

Sketching Workshop

The Industrial Design Workshops at APU is a fully equipped, hands-on learning space designed to support the development of creative ideas into tangible products. As an integral part of the design learning experience, the workshop enables students to explore the complete design process - from concept development to prototyping and fabrication.

The workshop provides a safe and structured environment where students can work with a variety of tools, materials, and techniques to bring their ideas to life. Through guided practice and project-based learning, students gain practical skills in model making, product development, and material exploration, allowing them to better understand form, function, and usability.

Equipped with industry-relevant tools and machinery, the facility supports a wide range of fabrication processes, enabling students to experiment with different materials and production methods. This hands-on approach enhances creativity while reinforcing technical precision and craftsmanship.

The Industrial Design Workshops is closely integrated with APU’s design studios and digital facilities, allowing students to seamlessly transition from digital design to physical prototyping. By combining traditional making techniques with modern design tools, students develop a well-rounded skill set aligned with current industry practices.

APU is a Centre Point to develop its students’ global competence through the integration of intercultural dimensions into the university’s formal and informal curriculum. Led by APU partnerships and standards senior director Prof Dr Andy Seddon, the Erasmus+ Friends project, which kickstarted in early 2019, is co-funded by the European Union and is built around the concept of Internationalisation at Home (IaH).This is to also support minority groups within the University to interact, engage and transform.

​Erasmus, established in 1987, is an acronym for the European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students, while Friends stands for Furthering International Relations Capacities and Intercultural Engagement to Nurture Campus Diversity and to Support Internationalisation at Home.

The project with an RM4.9mil allocation shared among four European and 12 South-East Asian partners will continue to be funded until November next year. APU is one of two universities in Malaysia supporting the programme, together with 10 other Asian higher education institutions in Bhutan, Cambodia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Erasmus+ Friends Teahouse is where members of the university’s Student Representative Council will be able to meet, discuss and organise events. It will also be a zone to promote international mobility pathways and semester break activities, as well as intercultural awareness and the Intercultural Awareness and Cultural Diversity (IACD) module delivered on campus. The Teahouse will ‘adopt’ a local community group to jointly develop a Community Development Plan.

With easy online top-ups and automated access, APSPark simplifies campus parking while improving efficiency and user convenience.

Alternative Parking - TPM Open-Air Public Car Park

In addition to on-campus parking, students and visitors can conveniently make use of the TPM Open-Air Public Car Park, located walking distant to the APU Campus. Managed by TPM, this open-air lot features a cashless payment system via the FlexiPark Mobile App and is designed to offer easy access and added convenience.

Important Parking Information

Parking rates are subject to change, and all parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to higher demand during peak hours, students and staff are encouraged to arrive early to secure a parking space of choice.

The campus is also supported by APU shuttle services and public transportation connections, providing alternative travel options during peak periods.

ACCESSIBILITY ON CAMPUS
 

Wheelchair Accessible Ramp - Main Entrance

From the very first point of the campus, a broad and spacious pathway is made available for individuals using a wheelchair or other mobility aid to access into the building. Levelled landings are also in place allowing people to rest at regular intervals. The floor surface is also designed to be slip-resistant, ensuring a firm grip on the surface and reducing the chances of accidents from occurring.



Wheelchair Accessible Ramp - Entrance @ Main Lift Lobby

One small platform at the entrance could lead to many inconveniences for a person with mobility impairment. To provide an accessible route for all, appropriate slope has been designed to provide easier movement and to remove physical barriers in the way.



Disabled Friendly Lifts

The most convenient way of access within a campus block is by lift, which is best suited for wheelchair users and individuals with mobility issues. All lifts are easily identifiable, with clear sign indicating their location from the block entrance.

Our Disable Friendly lifts are located on each major block on the campus, featuring Braille signage and lowered button panel at a wheelchair-compatible level.







Disabled Friendly Washrooms

Physically challenged individuals will have access to adequate, well-designed toilet cubicles situated on Block E of every floor. A person with physical disability will be able to use the amenities in the toilet with or without the assistance of others.

The door of the toilet cubicle is wide enough for a wheelchair to enter and has sufficient space to manoeuvre around. The handles are also in place to ensure users can be well supported while using the toilet. Most importantly, tissues and soap dispensers are refilled on a daily basis and the cubicles are thoroughly sanitised every day.



On-Campus Residence for Students with Special Needs

We welcome our students with disabilities or medical and other support needs. The Disability Team can support you to access appropriate on-campus accommodation including access to an en-suite room, with a room with an accessible kitchen. All our lifts are disable friendly. A fridge is provided in most rooms to store medication or for other disability related purpose.

We have an On-Campus clinic and 24 hours paramedics and welfare support for medical emergency.
