  Phang Jo Yee - Manager, Mobile Application Development company

  BSc (Hons) Information Communication Technology

  The student welfare was very good-pleasant service and communication between the students and staff. The environment and course structure were great. The highlight, however, are the lecturers. I have studied in different institutions and none of them has the warmth I experienced in First City UC. You will know they are great when time flies during classes and you still meet up for lunch years after graduation.

  BEng (Hons) Electrical Engineering

  I was among the earliest batch to enrol with KBU when it first started. At that time, KBU was operating from a shoplot in Damansara Utama before moving to the current main campus. The lecturers were very committed and sincere when it comes to ensuring the well-being of the students. They were always patient with us. Their daily effort has made us realise that education is very important and gave us a new purpose in life. This is where I built up my character and motivation in many aspects of my life.

  In 1992, KBU was one of the first colleges offering a higher local diploma with a pathway to a Bachelor’s degree and ties to British university. It had been 20 years since I left KBU but I still remember and appreciate the dedication shown by its teaching staff towards ensuring that we were well-equipped when we graduate. They played a major role in my successful career.

  The flexibility of the Master of Business Administration course offered by First City UC motivated me to study here. Through this course I am equipped with broader business knowledge and project management skills. It provided me the golden opportunity to study with working professionals in the business field. Eventually, I have successfully enhanced my relationships with other MBA students which helped me to generate useful professional networking contacts. Today, I am more confident when it comes to providing corporate presentations at work in one of the most prestigious multinational corporations (MNC) in the pharmaceutical industry. Last but not least, the combination of my MBA and ACCA achievements has significantly improved my career growth as well as my leadership expertise in the business world.

  Lim Chin Sian

  Master of Business Administration

  The pursuit for a master degree was one of my personal goals since I was starting my career life. Enrolling in the Anglia Ruskin MBA programme was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The MBA programme conducted by First City UC provides the same accreditation as the UK programme, however at a lower cost. I could continue to work full time while attending weekend classes. It provided the opportunity to meet other students from different professional backgrounds which is priceless. Most importantly, it has transformed my life and career tremendously in a manner that helped me confidently reposition my career and life. It also inspired me to think how to consistently stay competitive in the job market.

  Mah Foong Yee

  Master of Business Administration

  I have always been passionate about continuous learning and development. After working with large corporations like Maybank, Hong Leong Assurance and 13 years with General Electric, I decided to study for my Master of Business Administration from Anglia Ruskin University, at First City University College. The curriculum using case studies delivered by experienced lecturers opened my eyes to many different aspects of business considerations and strategies, especially in the current turbulent business environment. With my MBA and corporate experience and business knowledge, I am currently teaching at Monash College in Melbourne.

  Sarah Lee

  Master of Business Administration

  The assignment-based MBA course offered by Anglia Ruskin University and conducted by KBU International College, now elevated to First City University College, was workable for me. I could juggle my time management between working in Singapore and Cambodia, attending classes back in KBU (Malaysia) on weekends and working on assignments. In the first year, I commuted 10 hours every weekend from Singapore to attend classes. In the subsequent and final year, I flew back from Phnom Penh (Cambodia) to Malaysia every weekend to attend classes.The MBA had enriched my knowledge, inculcated critical and analytical thinking skills. I thoroughly benefitted from the MBA course in both personal and professional development.

  Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management

  First City University College provided me a solution to my indecision over what course to take because I was not sure what I wanted to do for the future. It gave me an opportunity to study the course I am interested in. No doubt, it was the best choice that I made. With its central location, friendly atmosphere, the quality of facilities and most importantly the quality of the lecturers and education here, I would recommend my friends to study here. In addition, First City UC gave me the opportunity to study abroad. Through its partner HTMi, I did my degree in Switzerland for a year and had the best experience meeting people from all over the world. I would like to thank First City UC for this.

  Christine, Chen Xiao Ling - Global Payroll Manager

  BA (Hons) Business Administration

  I chose to study at First City UC as it has a very conducive environment that provides students with a very comfortable feeling. The course is well planned and the lecturers are experienced. I strongly recommend First City UC to students because you hardly can find an environment that offers you a “university feeling” in the city. You can enjoy sports after study or continue reading a book in the campus to suit your preference for action or reflection. Also, the quality of the lectures is always up to expectation.

  Liu Bo - Statutory Compliance Manager

  BA (Hons) Business Administration

  I love the environment in First City UC. It is centrally located and very convenient. After class, I like to study in the library and relax at the green playground. The college staff are very friendly and helpful. The lecturers often use real-life examples in the class which has taken my learning beyond theory. I have also learnt to apply my knowledge to coursework carried out in various forms, e.g. working in teams, conducting research, giving presentations, etc. I have also made many good friends, some have become very close to me. This is a positive place to further my education and the experience has broadened my horizon.

  Ooi Yoong Fuang

  B.Eng (Hons) Electrical & Electronics Engineering

  I personally like physics and maths a lot, thus, I chose to engineering after my secondary education. KBU International College appeared to have the best engineering faculty (E & E & E & C) after reviewing information I had gathered about engineering courses provided by all the colleges in Malaysia. Hence without any doubt, I selected KBU International College to continue my tertiary education in order to pursue my dream to be an engineer. I am grateful to have chosen this college as not only are the lecturers experienced and helpful, the facilities here are excellent.

  Ye Phuong Hoang, Vietnam

  English, Higher Basic

  My name is Hoang and I’m 19 years old. I come from Vietnam where I live in Hanoi City. I came here with my mum last year. KBU had previously come to my country to introduce about its courses. After that, my mum decided to let me pursue my study here. When I first came here, I couldn’t speak English well. But now, after 6 months studying here, I can speak better English and I am enjoying it very much and promise to study hard. I live in the hostel, which is a safe and convenient place for me as I can buy everything near my hostel and can access to anywhere easily. In addition, I also like the weather here. I hope that I can pass my subjects and obtain the certificate. KBU is a good college for me.

  Nguyen Thi Thamh Lam, Vietnam

  English, Final Year

  My name is Lam and I am 16 years old. I have been living in Malaysia since April 2003. My friend in my country introduced me to come to KBU to study. When I first came to Malaysia, I was really homesick and I missed my parents and my friends. However, I’m happy now because I have made a lot of new friends here. All my teachers are very kind to me and I think I did not make a mistake when I chose to study at this college. Besides, the quality of education is good and cheap.
  
  Furthermore, I can get a degree from the UK, which is my dream. I want to get this for my parents and it will also be really good for my future.

  Ong Wen Yung

  Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Electronics & Computing

  I enrolled in KBU International College in 1998 to do engineering. My choice was influenced by the well-equipped engineering and computer laboratories. The sports facilities and large compound provide an opportunity for me to experience campus life. The syllabus and teaching style is much towards application that mirrors the real world. Lecturers are kind enough to provide me extra help in addition to the lectures and tutorials. I have also gained much valuable leadership experience and organisation and social skills in the active clubs and societies, especially in the Student Council and Christian Fellowship, under the guidance of dedicated college staff. These have enabled me to become a mature adult with the skills necessary to enter working life seamlessly.
