First City UC’s campus expansion promises holistic student experience

IN line with its aspiration to provide the highest standard of tertiary education and to cope with its expanding student population, First City University College is increasing its facilities with the new Phase II building expected to open in a month’s time.

This development is in keeping with the natural progression from KBU International College to First City University College, a recognition awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education to University College status.

With the elevated status, First City UC is further determined to striveand thrive in its mission to offer the best teaching and learning experience as was outlined by its visionary founder, the late Tan Sri Teo Soo Cheng.

He was a philanthropist and a farsighted developer of the awardwinning urban township Bandar Utama.

Although he was not an educationist by profession, he strongly believed that education is the key to social mobility, human resource development and social construction of the community and the country.

It was his foresight and vision to provide opportunities for affordable quality education to local and international students that led to the establishment of the KBU International College in 1990.

Since then, the college has been forging ahead in offering relevant programmes in the field of business, engineering, computing, design, hospitality and foundation studies to produce employable graduates and entrepreneurs.

Indeed, success stories of its alumni and the milestones which have been planted throughout its 25 years’ journey have paved the way for further development and growth.

The new 350,000 square feet campus block – almost twice the size of its current premise – houses, lecture rooms, studios, seminar rooms, workshops, state-of-the-art laboratories, IT Centre, library and MBA Centre.

To ensure students are provided the highest standard of facilities and support in terms of convenience, the expansion includes on-campus student accommodation with airconditioned en suite rooms.

Students can truly enjoy a holistic educational and living experience by taking advantage of the indoor sports and recreational facilities such as futsal, badminton and basketball courts, along with the airy and spacious lifestyle themed cafeteria and a comfortable student lounge.
