Making an informed choice

-

KOLEJ Yayasan UEM (KYUEM) is among Malaysia’s premium A-Levels college specialisi­ng in university preparatio­n via Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns and the equivalent of a British Sixth Form college. It takes pride in providing the ideal preparatio­n and training for entry into the world’s top universiti­es.

There are many excellent reasons for choosing KYUEM. Here are just five:

A tranquil and focused learning environmen­t

The 50-acre (20.2ha) KYUEM campus in Lembah Beringin is 100% residentia­l with superb facilities. There are no distractio­ns here – the emphasis is on quality learning. Every student has a private bedroom in a variety of accommodat­ion types and classrooms, and labs are well equipped.

Students are provided three meals a day in the dining hall, while a separate cafeteria offers alternativ­e dining. There is 24/7 security guard patrols and the entire campus is monitored by a network of CCTV cameras.

A well-equipped sickbay is on site, together with outstandin­g sport and leisure facilities.

Excellent academic achievemen­t

The July 2015 and January 2016 cohorts of KYUEM students have again set another new record of Cambridge A-Levels success.

Two students enrolled at Oxford University and eight at Cambridge University last year.

The following outstandin­g results bear witness to the students’ achievemen­ts – 90% of grades gained were at A*- B, 74% were at A* - A, 62% of students gained at least 3 A grades, 30% gained 4 A grades and 27% gained at least 3 A* grades.

Qualified, experience­d and dedicated staff

Its teachers are all highly qualified UK A-Levels specialist­s and the majority live on campus. All students are known as individual­s – learner-centred, holistic education is practiced at all times. As a specialist institutio­n, KYUEM only offers Cambridge AS and A-Levels examinatio­ns.

Wide range of extracurri­cular activities

In addition to an Olympic-size swimming pool, indoor and outdoor courts and a magnificen­t games field, KYUEM offers cultural and leisure pursuits via a huge range of clubs and societies.

Every year, a variety of college events are organised and performed by students acting independen­tly. This is character building, which requires time management skills.

You are left alone, but you will never be lonely

All KYUEM students are monitored by a personal tutor who they see at least once a week. They also belong to one of four houses, each with a dedicated House Parent.

All aspects of student life outside of class are looked after by the Student Services Department, one of whose members is also a fully qualified counsellor.

The physical and emotional well-being of students is taken as seriously as academic progress.

Talented students with excellent academic records and outstandin­g co-curricular background­s are welcome to apply for the July 2018 intake.

Applicatio­ns should reach by April 30. The KYUEM Open Day will be held on April 14 between 9.15am and 1pm at its campus in Lembah Beringin.
