It is a 100% mirror of the program with students receiving the same lecture notes, assignments, projects, test and final exams as their UK counterparts. And they receive the same awards and certificates.
Malaysian students at YPC also have a chance to graduate in the UK. They can pursue their final year in England at the LJMU main campus.
