OUR SUCCESS STORY

  • I like everything about IUKL, the class, the facilities and the lecturers. All the lecturers in my faculty are friendly and willing to help students to be better in their studies. If there is anything that I don’t understand, I will consult my lecturers or meet them after class for one-to-one consultation. Most of my classmates are foreigners but I mix around well with them. I got tuition fee waiver every semester and that made me want to study harder to maintain my CGPA.
