Student Testimonials

Miaad Ahmed Juma AlBahrani, Oman

Diploma in Computer Science, 21/2 Years

Being in this campus is definitely a great experience for me. In fact when left home, I thought that I would be homesick, however, I am having loads of fun here. The lecturers are helpful and they always make time for us and the administration staff are polite, tolerant and patient when it comes to handling our requests. Over here, I’m also involved in the International Students’ Cultural Club. This is most definitely a fruitful experience.
Poonam Naik Country, India

B.Sc. (Hons) in Computer Science, 4 Years

I had the opportunity to study in universities in the UK and USA, thinking that those places would be better. But when I landed in FTMS-DMU, my hesitation disappeared. And now that I have been here for over a year, I really know that I made the right choice. People here teach me to be independent and the same standards practiced in universities in UK and US are also implemented here. Most of all, I have been fortunate enough to experience the diverse cultures in FTMS-DMU. Unforgettable!!

I have been studying in FTMS-DMU for more than a year now and I find this campus to be a wonderful place to study as all the lecturers and staff are very friendly and supportive towards any challenges that I have had to face during my tenure here. As I journey through my studies, I feel secure knowing that this campus is as good as home.

Computer Studies, 2 Years

My name is Sydykov Ermek and I am from the beautiful country of Kyrgyzstan. I study Computer Studies at Flamingo Institute of Further Education. The reason I am here is that it is affordable compared to other colleges and the quality of education here is high. The lecturers are like my mentors. They not only coach me to be more knowledgeable in IT world, but also gave me the confidence to become an out-spoken and confident person. FIFE is also located in the heart of the city and nearby amenities such as the bowling alley, shopping complexes and cafes are essentials for students to chill out in between classes.

Liu Bin, China

Business Management, 2 Years

“Apa khabar?.” That is ‘ how are you?’ in Bahasa Malaysia, the national language of Malaysia. My name is Liu Bin, I find that life in Malaysia has made me feel at home. I am living at the hostel accommodation provided by the institute. I have learnt independence, responsibility and time management. Meeting and mingling with the locals and other international students is interesting and fun and I get to know different cultures. Business course has been very exciting and stimulating. It has combination of academic theory, business knowledge and skills development. I chose Flamingo Institute because I heard that the lecturers here give full attention to the students. It’s like having personal tutorial all the way. Flamingo Institute has approximately 20 students in one class. Therefore, the lecturers are able to give more personal attention to our learning. Some of my friends have pursued their Business courses elsewhere. Compared to them, I found that I am as competitive as they are. Personally, I think I am better than them. I believe FIFE helps me to achieve my dream. As an international student of FIFE, I invite you to join me……..us!
Francisca Augustine, Indonesia

Hotel & Catering Management, 2.5 Years

Hi! My name is Francisca Augustine, I am from Indonesia. I am proud to say that I am a FIFE student. I am currently pursuing my Diploma in Hotel & Catering Management. My friends in Indonesia recommended FIFE to me. They said that FIFE is well-known for its Hotel & Catering Management courses. When I first came to the school, I saw a hotel bedroom, hotel reception counter and a café. I went straight to the hotel reception counter, thinking that a hotel receptionist will attend to me. Later, I learnt that these facilities are only mock-ups for students to acquire hands on practical training. It is interesting to know how to make a bed and the right way to serve customers. This course has not only helped me to achieve my dream to become an hotelier, it has taught me the basic things in life, for example-the correct way of making bed. Overall, I really enjoy my studies here. There was never a dull moment for me.
