I really enjoyed my time as an IUKL student. The study environment was comprehensive and competitive. The lectures, especially those who taught Quantity Surveying subjects were really nice and knowledgeable in their field of study. There was more than just teaching and learning at IUKL. I got to meet my best fiends during my study and the people that I can rely on every time I need assistance. And I would strongly advise students to come and explore the many opportunities in IUKL.

I first learnt about IUKL when I met its representative at an education exhibition in Oman. There were about 7-8 universities from Malaysia, but I chose IUKL. I read that IUKL is one of the best in the engineering field in Malaysia. I went through the registration process by myself, without consulting the agent. In IUKL I met a friendly and kind staff, who helped me with all documents. After registration, IUKL provides an induction for new students. This is a fun and informative event. There you can meet new friends and get informed about the location of the main places on campus, for example: library, labs, cafes, book-shops and so on. A new student must take part in activities, it will make your life on campus more meaningful.

IUKL is moving forward in the field of infrastructure, and quantitative survey is one of its strengths. The quantitative survey programme is a mix of engineering, accounting and business discipline, which makes this course more interesting. For our study, we not only use classrooms, but also labs and sites-study. I like the laboratory sessions the most because of the absorbing analysis and experiments that we do. One of the advantages of studying in IUKL is the tuition fee waiver for local and foreign students, I think this is a great motivation to study hard and to receive rewards.

For me, the most important subject in the Quantity Surveying course is “Measurement”. It is a core subject which is divided into 5 parts. It provides the foundation knowledge to perform the work smoothly. I am also interested in photography and videography. I am the official photographer for my faculty whenever there is an event. Being able to divert my attention into something enjoyable, is one of the ways to release stress.

The reason I chose IUKL is because I find this university very unique. It is also recognized by professional organizations such as Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM) and Board Of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia (BQSM). If you are choosing a university to pursue your studies, I recommend you to come to IUKL!

I enrolled into the Diploma in Geomatic Engineering programme and continued with the Bachelor in Quantity Surveying. The study experience here is fun and enjoyable. Though I enrolled into the programmes as advised by my parents, I grew to like what I was doing and I enjoyed it. Personally I am into music and I play the drums. That’s how I spent my free time during my study years.

I did have issues in coping and understanding the foundations of QS since my A-Levels was in Engineering. However, my colleagues and lecturers helped me a lot on this and I am grateful to them. A QS acts as a lawyer and an accountant in the construction field. There are a few documents that need to be prepared by a QS before a project starts and after a project finishes such as tender report, finance report etc. A QS is considered important since they monitor the cash flow of a project and they go for site visits to monitor the progress of the project.

My interest is in calculation and I excelled in Math in high school. Knowing my interest, my father consulted a few of his friends and they suggested that I go into the Quantity Surveying programme. During that time, QS was something new but, I still decided to give a try and go for it. At the same time, I got a letter from IUKL (previously known as KLIUC) and I checked on the programmes offered and decided to enrol in the Quantity Surveying (QS) programme. My batch was the first to start this programme at IUKL. I love the lecturers in IUKL. They are helpful and reachable anytime. I loved the old café and apart from that, Bangi is just a short distance away and it is convenient for us to get food and daily necessities. After graduating from IUKL, I worked for a year before furthering my studies in the United Kingdom (UK). Coming back from UK, I got a job offer to work as a Service Engineer in a company located in Petaling Jaya. My job scope is to conduct training and workshops for the users who purchase the QS software from my company. It has been fun so far and I believe this work is good for me to improve my skills.

I graduated from an IUKL Affiliate College in Kuching. The reason why I chose IUKL is because of this collaboration. It allows maximum credit transfer for my degree programme, thus enabling me to shorten my study period. The campus environment is really nice and equipped with up-to-date facilities. It also has a shopping mall which makes life a lot easier. I can get all my necessities within the campus.

I knew about IUKL from the Malaysia Education Exhibition held in Seychelles in 2016. If I describe IUKL in one word, worthy will be the most suitable word for it. It was a great, challenging but most importantly, an enjoyable experience. I felt relaxed when I finished the exams every semester. And the challenge was taking the last minute test or assessment the same week you have assignments to submit. I joined the CONQUEST Competition when I was at IUKL. My team won 3rd place. It was a competition organised by IUKL QS Department whereby group of students from BQS had to compete against each other in various games related to Quantity Surveying and Project Management. The competition consists of mathematical games, contract administration and construction technology 3D model. I am currently working as a Quantity Surveyor and most of my work is to calculate the cost of a project before tendering as well as supervise and the manage project. I am working mostly on maintenance projects which consists of calculating material cost and preparing the materials list. In addition, I'm overseeing the utilities section, whereby I have to supervise and manage all projects related to water, electricity and sewage services in the port areas.

All subjects related to QS are equally important, but subjects such as Measurement and QS Practice will help students to understand and perform their job well in the future. Measurement is a core subject divided into 5 parts. It is a pre-requisite and it is essential for you to pass the paper in order to proceed to the next stage. The best part about studying QS is you get to learn and understand how a building is made and the technology they use to build it. QS is really in demand in our country, since we have started to employ foreign QS for local projects. This indicates that QS is in high demand.

Life as an IUKL student was fun and challenging. This is where I learnt to be independent and fully responsible for my study. No one can forced me or asked me to study, except my self. The diversity of students and cultures was another fun side of being an IUKL student. It taught me to be open-minded and not to judge based on skin colour, race and religion. I also got to make a whole lot of new friends over the years. I was the President for IUKL Music Club back then. I is just great to remember the good old days where we used to jam at the old café and practice for the upcoming show.

I got to know about IUKL from the internet while I was searching for an institution to study. I fell in love with IUKL from the start. I received proper guidance from the beginning which was great. The process to apply for my PTPTN loan was hassle free. The flexible payment scheme is a great help for me to pay my fees each semester.

I loved Maths when I was in school hence, I decided to enrol in the Quantity Surveying (QS) programme. Moreover, since both my dad and my sister are from the construction background, I felt more confident to take up this programme. That was when I enrolled in the Diploma in Quantity Surveying programme at IUKL. After diploma, I decided to study for my degree in IUKL because of the credit transfer facility, the familiarity with the lecturers and friends, and the fact that IUKL offers affordable and comfortable on-campus accommodation. The lecturers were very supportive and understanding. I used to work part time during my studies. The lecturers understood my situation and provided assistance in whichever way they could. They were also knowledgeable in their field of study. Now, I work with a company that provides software for Quantity Surveyors. I joined the company as a Service Consultant. After that I was appointed as a Technical Executive and Service Engineer. My job scope is to conduct training or workshops about the software. I am also responsible for technical support and I liaise with the users should they face any technical issues with the software.

The lecturers are well qualified and the best part is they are extremely friendly, loving and encouraging. They are not just teachers but friends with whom I can share my frustrations and joys. Not forgetting my wonderful friends that I have met here.

I knew about IUKL from the Malaysia Education Exibition held in Seychelles in 2016. If I describe IUKL in one word, challenging will be the most suitable word for it. It was difficult to adapt to my classmates and the lectures during the first semester, especially because I joined the short semester. However, things improved from the 2nd semester with the new students joining the course. I started to know my lecturers better and became more aware of the behaviour and culture of the locals. Among my fond memories at IUKL is making close friends with the locals, and learning Bahasa Melayu although I am not that good at it. And the most challenging part was working with the classmates in doing group assignments and having to take compulsory modules that were not related to my course, such as learning Mandarin. I am currently working as a Quantity Surveyor at the Seychelles Ports Authority, in the Project Implementation Department. I can say in general I prepare costing for the construction projects and, of course, there are other responsibilities too. I am happy with my job, and since I was previously on internship at the same organisation, it is quite easy to adapt to the work environment and colleagues.
