What Our Students Say

Christine, Chen Xiao Ling - Global Payroll Manager

BA (Hons) Business Administration

I chose to study at First City UC as it has a very conducive environment that provides students with a very comfortable feeling. The course is well planned and the lecturers are experienced. I strongly recommend First City UC to students because you hardly can find an environment that offers you a “university feeling” in the city.

Liu Bo - Statutory Compliance Manager

BA (Hons) Business Administration

I love the environment in First City UC. It is centrally located and very convenient. After class, I like to study in the library and relax at the green playground. The college staff are very friendly and helpful. The lecturers often use real-life examples in class which has taken my learning beyond theory.

Lim Ching Wen - Airline Service Management

Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management

First City University College provided me a solution to my indecision over what course to take because I was not sure what I wanted to do for the future. With its central location, friendly atmosphere, and quality of education, I would recommend my friends to study here.

Sam Choon Hong - Assistant Customer Relations Manager

I like studying at First City UC. The friendliness of students from different courses created a cozy study environment. The practical classes provided good experience, and the lecturers were very professional and patient in guiding me.
