Why Choose City University?

What Our Students Say

Ahmad Farihan bin Mohamad

Bachelor of Science (Hons) (Architectural Design)

The academic approach & teaching methods applied here is very effective & almost similar to public universities standard. The lecturers are also easily approachable by the students & there is a lot of faculty activities for us to join.

Yen Yong Yi

Diploma In Human Resource Management

I’ve been here for almost 3 years where I get to experience the effective teaching method used by the lecturers. They are willing to explain deeply until the students truly understand the topic. They often give tutorials after finishing a chapter too so that we can further discuss & do revisions.

Dinesh Ramachandran

Diploma in Hotel Management

I have always wanted to explore the world, and City U provides that opportunity through this programme that I chose. Lecturers are very friendly & committed in feeding us extra knowledge – which helps me in achieving good results so far.

Mohd Rais bin Abdul Rahim

Diploma in Culinary Arts

I’d like to turn my passion for food into a career – hence why I chose this programme which comes with the right facilities & affordable fees. Thank you to my lecturers especially Chef Kevin for the priceless experiences during competitions & meeting at the Chefs Association of Malaysia.

Jeremy Chong Tien Shing

Foundation in Business

I wanted to feel a good university vibe & City U offers such an environment to me. Also, it provides good facilities for non-peninsular students. I chose this programme because I want to serve in the business & leisure field.

Narmeeta a/p Bhaskaran

Foundation in Arts (English)

I choose City U because it is one of the recognised leading institutions committed to excellence. This university also has high employability rate, provides a good approach to the course of my interest & is closer to home with convenient transport facilities.
