OUR SUCCESS STORY

  • I chose IUKL because of its choice of courses. Since it is an international university, I can meet students from around the world and know more about their country and culture.To me, the most challenging subject in this course is Programming. Some programs may have errors so we need to redo them again from the beginning, which takes a lot of time.I chose this course because Computer Science is different from other courses. It is challenging but I am up to it!Since Information Technology is used in our everyday life, I would love to know more about how it works, so this is why I prefer this course.
