KBU makes wave into Chinese Independent High School

The success of Chinese Independent High Schools in the nation is phenomenal with more and more students opting to study there. Recognising this, KBU embarked on a journey in creating a strong rapport with the schools.

“Our main purpose to visit the schools would be to bridge a mutually beneficial relationship between the organisations. After visiting the schools, we found that there are abundant opportunities for more strategic collaborations,” said Dr Chee.

“For instance, we would like to introduce exciting workshops, English language programmes and innovative projects which will enhance the students’ creative thinking and at the same time help in nurturing the leaders of tomorrow,” he added.

The visit was also intended to introduce the quality UK programmes,  fun-learning approach adopted by the College and the attractive scholarship schemes offered at KBU.

“We are also happy about the warm welcome that we have received in all the schools. This will definitely open the door of opportunities between the organisations as the College will soon be upgraded to First City University College,” he said.

KBU also has plans to visit Chinese Independent High Schools in the areas such as Malacca, Selangor and a few other states to forge a good relationship with them.

KBU Principal Dr Chee Choong Kooi together with a team of representatives recently visited the Chinese Independent High Schools in the state of Johor. Also present during the visit were: Marketing and Corporate Communication Manager Angela Tan, School of Design Head Siow Yin Yoong, School of Engineering and Computing Head Lye Boon Han and Senior Marketing Executive Sophie Wai Chung Peik.

Among the new programmes that the College is planning to offer in the future would be: BSc (Hons) Hospitality Management, BA (Hons) Mass Communication, BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing and Branding and BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering.
