In conjunction with its 29th convocation, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, UBD, showcased its innovative and blended teaching with emphasis on lifelong learning and entrepreneurship that embrace UBD's progressive steps towards meeting the needs and demands of the local and global population. His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam consented to view the exhibition.

The exhibition highlighted the institution's educational achievements and future goals by showcasing three initiatives: The Global Classroom, Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L) Programmes, and Entrepreneurship Education. The second exhibition focused on the latest programmes offered by the Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L) in UBD. The exhibition showcased an online learning session that demonstrated their innovative digital approach to teaching and learning. C3L uses a unique blended learning style that mixes traditional face-to-face teaching while giving students an engaging online learning experience.

In January, C3L offered 14 new short courses catered for anybody regardless of background and experience, successfully enrolling over 200 students. From August 2017, C3L launched the 'Masters in Government' which is a professional programme focusing on understanding the workings and challenges of an Islam-driven system of government.

The last exhibition showcased Entrepreneurship Education. In its aspiration to become the leading university of innovation and enterprise, UBD has pioneered an innovative learning pedagogy strategy. This ensures graduates develop solid entrepreneurial behaviour and thinking, encouraging self-reliance and independence and ultimately improving their employability.

UBD was ranked 349th in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) University Ranking, placing it among the top 1.3 percent of universities worldwide. In the QS Top 50 Under 50, UBD was placed 37th among universities founded less than 50 years ago.
