The Malaysia Airlines cabin crew says, 'Bonjour!'

Our French language lecturers, Alan Le Bras and Bruno Decourcy, together with representatives from KDU and Malaysia Airlines, recently celebrated their Malaysia Airlines Academy students' completion of the French Language course in a small cozy graduation ceremony, followed by dinner at Ma Maison, a French restaurant located in Jalan Ampang.

The students, who comprised of Malaysia Airlines cabin crew, underwent the 14-week course in Basic French, which taught them conversational French and also on making in-flight announcements in the language.

The programme came about because the Academy recognized the importance of communication with passengers who are non-English speakers and chose KDU to conduct these language programmes for their cabin crew.

Traditional recipes re-defined

The week has been an undeniably busy one for us here at KDU. Besides the academic convocation ceremony, we also launched a book penned by our very own Chef Darren Teoh. 

The book, RE-DEFINITION – Molecular Cuisine: Traditional Recipes through a Modern Kaleidoscope, pays tribute to our local cuisine and produce, and is the first book in Malaysia that applies molecular cooking techniques to our Malaysian recipes. 

The usage of molecular cooking techniques also means that the book showcases a modern style of Malaysian cuisine, offers an alternative perception of typically traditional Malaysian cooking and illustrates how Malaysian produce can create avant garde cuisine dishes suitable for haute cuisine restaurants.

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.
