Our Success Story

  • I am currently in my second semester for my PhD. After I completed my masters, I decided to do Ph.D. at IUKL since I am familiar with the environment. Malaysia is a very nice country where the cost of living is not so high, and that is the main reason why I came here in the first place. I find it convenient for me to stay here. I also like to travel and visit other states of this country. The lecturers are very professional and friendly. I do not have any problems in communicating with them and they are willing to help me.
