The main reason I chose IUKL is because of the tuition fees and the scholarships provided. The tuition fees are affordable and I received a 100% scholarship during my first semester and 60% the following semesters. The environment here is conducive. Facilities such as gym, shuttle bus service and sport facilities are provided for students. The lecturers are helpful and always willing to share their knowledge and experiences.
I chose the Foundation in Science because it offers a wide range of programmes to choose from when I proceed to my degree. I wanted to opt for the Water and Wastewater programme. But later on, my interest grew in the field of real estate and so I am planning to further my studies in Real Estate Management. Group assignments are challenging because we have to work in groups but not necessarily with the same set of people. Problems and arguments are bound to arise due to our differences, especially if it is a big group. I take part in Chinese Society activities. Recently I joined their Chinese New Year event. That was really a life enriching experience for me.
Being a graduate of its Foundation in Science (Engineering) programme, I found it to be very useful and fulfilling. I really think the lessons learnt here will help me throughout my life. I like the fact that the lecturers are knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. The environment here was conducive for studies and I really enjoyed my time here.
The facilities around IUKL are good and easily accessible. The new academic block of IUKL is just great. Everything is available for the students and the facilities are well maintained. I am staying at De Centrum and so far, it has been a great experience for me. There is a gymnasium, a swimming pool and many other. The food outlet is just below my unit and there are many choices available.
My aim is to be a civil engineer and that’s the reason why I chose to do Foundation in Science. To me, the lecturers are very professional and supportive. I know for sure that if I have any problems, I can always refer to them for guidance.
I learnt about IUKL through my cousin who recently finished his Bachelor in Civil Engineering. He was the one who recommended IUKL to me as the university is well known for its engineering course. I got to know more about IUKL through the education fair when I met the dean and lecturers who were very friendly. They explained to me precisely about the course of my choice. It’s so important to have fun during your studies. At IUKL, you get a chance to spice up your life with fun and exciting co-curriculum activities. University life would be boring if it was only about studying and attending classes.
“ I chose the Foundation in Science programme because it is the shortest pathway to undergraduate programmes. The duration of one year is compact and I need to manage my time well. I like the course because the teaching is fully conducted in English and the lecturers are very friendly and helpful. I have become more fluent in English as I communicate daily in that language with lecturers and my fellow students.
I was introduced to IUKL by my family and friends. I plan to further studies in Civil Engineering once I have completed my foundation. The best thing about studying here are the friendly lecturers. My lecturers are approachable and helpful. It is easy to consult them which I think is important, especially for foundation students who are adjusting to university life.
The fees in IUKL are affordable and reasonable. We are able to get a tuition fee waiver every semester if we reached the minimum CGPA. This would certainly motivate the students to perform better. I was grateful to study my Foundation in IUKL. Overall, I am satisfied with the Foundation in Science course.
