Sneak Peek: Our new Glenmarie Campus!

KDU is now moving ahead into very exciting times. We have been officially granted the ‘University College’ status and will be known as KDU University College.

With the UC status, KDU will be offering its very own degree courses from January 2011 onwards. Our Bachelor courses offer you flexibility in choosing your subjects, as well as major(s) and minor(s), to craft the degree of your choice. However, not to worry. We will continue to offer our current pre-university, diploma and degree courses.

Our next step in moving forward is our new campus in Glenmarie set to be ready in 2014.

I was so happy to know about this as a KDU student. Now we are officially university college in Malaysia. Although I will only be able to see KDU Glenmarie in 2014 and might no longer be a student of KDU. But my heart will always be there as a proud graduate KDU student. :) All the best KDU~
