11 Sunway University Prospectus 2015 Sunway Le Cordon Sunway Sunway Le Cordon Sunway An Educational Partnership for World-Class Degrees Sunway University has a very strong strategic partnership with Lancaster University in the UK, which means that many of our degree programmes lead to dual awards with certificates awarded by both universities. Lancaster University was established in the UK by Royal Charter in 1964, and enjoys a world-class reputation for its excellence in teaching, scholarship and research. Lancaster is ranked consistently among the highest quality institutions in the UK featuring in the top 12 in all of the major UK league tables.

In practice this means that graduates from certified programmes receive two certificates: a degree or diploma from Sunway University together with a parchment from Le Cordon Bleu confirming that the graduate has completed a programme certified by Le Cordon Bleu as meeting its industry standards. Graduates therefore receive both academic recognition and industry recognition in the certificates that they receive.

A certificate from Sunway University and a certificate from Lancaster University each institution will issue its own degree certificate A joint transcript with marks from Sunway University and Lancaster University lancaster university is ranked in the top 1% of universities in the world & consistently ranked highly in both international UK higher education league tables. &
