Brunei International Airport, 11 February 2025 – Fifteen Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) scholars under the Joint Scholarship Programme between Hengyi Industries, UBD, and Zhejiang University (ZJU) have departed for Hangzhou, China, where they will continue their academic journey at Zhejiang University.

The scholars, currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Process Engineering, were officially awarded the scholarship on 6 February 2025, making them the 12th batch of recipients under this programme.
