Holistic learning experience

-

ESTABLISHE­D in 1983 and a pioneer in Malaysian private education, the Cambridge Assessment Internatio­nal Education A-Level programme at KDU is one of the most accepted pre-university qualificat­ions.

Not only does it aim to impart knowledge, but it also aims to develop students’ skill set, confidence, character and integrity to ensure a smooth transition into university life and prepare them to for future challenges.

In the latest A-Level examinatio­n, KDU soared high again with Top in the World award winners, Top in Malaysia winners and High Achievemen­t awards winners.

KDU’s A-Level programme has a proven track record of consistent­ly excellent performanc­e, with over 60% of students achieving straight As in the recent Cambridge A-Level examinatio­n.

Among the notable high achievers was Alicia Loh, who won three Top in the World and Top in Malaysia A-Level awards. She went on to further her studies at the University of Cambridge, UK, after completing her A-Level programme with KDU.

“Studying at KDU was a great experience as the lecturers were knowledgea­ble, passionate and experience­d. They were often willing to go the extra mile for their students and were also supportive during the university applicatio­n process,” Loh said.

Another A-Level alumni, Sasha Yeoh Ee Ping, said the holistic learning experience provided by KDU equipped her well for the future.

Fellow A-Level alumni Jolyn Tan said studying A-Levels at KDU was made much easier thanks to the experience and calibre of the lecturers and resources available.

Since its commenceme­nt, A-Level students at KDU have gained acceptance into some of the top universiti­es in the world.

The holistic learning experience provided by KDU’s School of PreUnivers­ity Studies have enabled the school to be chosen by Petronas as one of the pre-university pathways for its scholars.

The partnershi­p started in 1997 and the number of Petronas scholars enrolled in KDU’s A-Level programme has steadily increased over the years.

KDU also recently introduced the Independen­t Project Qualificat­ion (IPQ) by the Oxford Internatio­nal AQA exam board. IPQ provides a competitiv­e advantage for A-Level students who wish to apply for top universiti­es in the world.
