Celebrating the Class of 2010!

The convocation ceremony of an education institution is a milestone in the lives of the graduating students and the institution itself, and hence, it was certainly an important one achieved for KDU’s graduating Class of 2010 as our students celebrate their Academic Convocation at the One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya.

The ceremony, which was opened by Dato' Teo Chiang Quan, our Executive Chairman, saw a procession which included our CEO / Principal Dr. Chia Chee Fen, Vice Principal Dr. Tan Hui Leng, heads of schools, academic department heads as well as distinguished partner universities' representatives. 

Over 480 graduates, comprised of students from; School of Arts & Social Sciences, School of Law, School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts, School of Engineering, School of Communication, Multimedia and Information Technology and the Centre for Pre-University Studies, received their diploma, Bachelor degree and Master degree certificates. 

From KDU to Manchester

Written by Ida Lopez, Programme Leader, BA Econ Specialising in Accounting & Finance (1+2) Manchester University

KDU is proud to be associated with The University of Manchester in offering the BA Econ (Hons) Degree specialising in Accounting & Finance.  This is a 1+2 arrangement, where students complete their 1st year at KDU and the remaining 2 years in Manchester.  The University has a long and prestigious history, and this includes holding a remarkable track record of producing over 23 Nobel Prize laureates. Winners of two Nobel Prizes in Economics - Sir Arthur Lewis and John Hicks - held Chairs at Manchester.

In an effort to make the transition from KDU to Manchester easier, a get-together was held at Nando’s, Tropicana City Mall on 28th August 2010 to introduce the Year 1 students who will be leaving to further their Second Year study at the Manchester University (in September) to the Year 2 students who were back for their semester break.

Springboard your career with Master's Degree Programmes

With the world becoming progressively advanced and more knowledge-savvy, more and more students are pursuing a master’s degree. The increase in demand has been spurred by global shifts toward a technology-driven, information-centered economy in which the need for highly trained professionals in management, finance, information technology and health-care has skyrocketed. Therefore, having a degree is deemed as just a starting point in the quest for life-long education.

Be it for those who have just completed their undergraduate studies or those who have had working experience, a master’s degree will be the perfect feather to add to one’s cap for more rewarding career prospects.

KDU University College offers two different postgraduate degrees at its PJ Campus. One of it is the Master of Science in Business Information Technology (MSc BIT), conferred by Northumbria University, U.K., available both part time and full time. The other is the IMI MBA in International Hospitality Management.
