Creating future leaders
QUEST International University Perak (QIUP) is focused on developing graduates with a strong conscience who respect the environment and get involved in society.
Nicholas Goh, chief operating officer of QUIP, says “We do not want to be just another degree. We want our undergraduates to not only excel in their studies, but also to participate in various conferences and educational competitions during their study here.
“We were very proud when one of our first year medical undergraduates was selected to present a paper at the 3rd International Public Health Conference & 20th National Public Health Colloquium, which took place in Kuching, Sarawak.”
This paper was a project by first year medical undergraduates and was titled “Prevalence of hypertension and its risks factors in an Orang Asli community in Perak, Malaysia”.
Additionally, four undergraduates of the Bachelor of Computer Science programme participated in the IBM Mobilithon 2013 competition and were crowned as champions.
The academic panel at QIUP is also nothing short of impressive. Vice-chancellor Datuk Prof Hashim Yaacob is an accomplished teacher, researcher and academic administrator who was appointed as the chair professor of University of Malaya for 21 years.
Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Prof Dr Alam Sher Malik, is a frequent speaker, organiser and facilitator for conferences and seminars in local and overseas universities.
Prof Dr Helen Nair, research professor and dean of the Faculty of Integrative Sciences & Technology, is known for her research and pioneering efforts in plant biotechnology and consults for various universities and organisations.
Throughout their time at QIUP, students will be exposed to impactful research work and work ethics delivered by a passionate panel of staff.
There are three faculties and one centre at QIUP, including the Centre for Foundation Studies, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Integrative Sciences & Technology and Faculty of Business Management & Social Sciences and offers programmes at Foundation, diploma, degree and postgraduate levels.
QIUP’s interim campus is located in Ipoh, away from the distractions of city life and offers a lower cost of living.
Registration for the September 2014 intake is on-going.
