OUR SUCCESS STORY

  • I made a comparison with other universities in terms of fees and found IUKL to be among the cheapest. That helped me a lot to manage my finances. Overall, the facilities available are good, I am satisfied with it. I did not have international students in my class but we had Malaysians from all ethnic groups. We mixed around well.
