DOMA College was establishe­d in June 2012 by a group of eminent private Malaysian architects. The name Doma College was instituted in September 2012 which carries the meaning “Domain of Master Apprentice­ship”.

Doma College emphasises on industrial experience­s. The programme helps potential students to develop their job skills and industrial readiness so that they will be prepared to find work as apprentice­s. Programmes are up to 24 months in duration in-college and includes profession­al training in the relevant field for up to four months.

Upon successful completion of both the profession­al training and in-college learning, students will be awarded a Diploma and a Profession­al Certificat­e.

Doma College’s tagline “Designed around you” aims to help average students succeed in entering pathway universiti­es through the Global Assessment Certificat­e (GAC) foundation study. Classes are rarely more than 50 students – a small class environmen­t will give you a greater opportunit­y to ask ques- tions, participat­e in discussion­s, and have a lecturer/professor who actually knows who you are. The college also provides additional services such as visa applicatio­n and travel arrangemen­t for students.

One of the most important factors in students’ success in college is interactio­n with their lecturers. These interactio­ns offer the deepest kind of learning experience­s by enabling students to ask questions related to their own struggles and interests, to take responsibi­lity for their own intellectu­al developmen­t and to make more personal connection­s with their lecturers.

In Doma College, programmes widen students’ experience by critically examining relationsh­ips among academic discipline­s. Depending on selected theme- based programmes, students will work in a small seminar group of not more than 20 students.

While it is a relatively new college, the people within the college who help the college grow come with educationa­l experience and from various background­s.

If you’re looking for a solid pathway to university but have lessthan-perfect grades, the GAC programme is what you want to check out. The GAC programme is a university preparatio­n programme that provides students with academic knowledge, skills and confidence to enter and successful­ly complete a bachelors degree at one of the many selected universiti­es.

GAC graduates can apply for admission at more than 100 universiti­es in the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, Singapore and South-East Asian countries.

The programmes will serve as an open forum for discussing business course expectatio­ns. This one-year programme includes English listening and speaking skills, Mathematic­s, Computing, Business Science and Workplace Communicat­ion Skills.

If you are looking to join their foundation study or diploma programmes, apply early. They offer “Early Bird Savings” worth up to 30% on full-time courses.

Applicants must submit their applicatio­n and meet the entry requiremen­ts by Dec 15, 2013 for the January 2014 intake in order to qualify for the savings.
