Creating a legacy of excellence
QUEST International University Perak (QIUP) was conceptualised for the priming and development of bright students.
QIUP’s goal is to produce quality graduates who have had their intellectual curiosity satisfied and ambitions reached through excellent education.
According to QIUP chief operating officer Nicholas Goh, the university seeks to produce graduates who excel in their respective area of study.
“We do not want to be another degree mill. We want our undergraduates to not only excel in their studies but also to actively participate in various conferences and educational competitions during their study here,” say Goh.
“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 that took place Kuching, Sarawak.”
This paper, which was a project involving all first year medical undergraduates and titled Prevalence of Hypertension and its risks factors in an Orang Asli community in Perak, Malaysia, was the only paper chosen that was prepared by undergraduates among the many thousands of papers submitted for selection.
Adding to QIUP’s success is four undergraduates of the Bachelor of Computer Science programme who participated in and were crowned champions in the IBM Mobilithon 2013 competition, an event organised to build skills and develop talent among Malaysian university students in the mobile app space.
The QIUP team participated in the UTP-HAX National Hacking competition, emerging as second runner-up and winning the consolation prize at the Moto Innocup Competition (an interuniversity software competition).
The undergraduates also presented papers at the Interdisciplinary ICT Practice Conference and International Symposium on Mathematical Sciences and Computing Research conference.
Their papers have been published in the International Journal of Computer Networks and Applications.
