Quality varsity experience
“MY experience at Nilai University has changed me into a more mature and confident person,” says Kavithaa Mahendran, final year BA ( Hons) in Accounting and Finance student, who has been active in several extracurricular activities.
Kavithaa is currently the student emcee of choice, having first showed her abilities at Christian Fellowship club events.
Since then, she has grown accustomed to speaking to large crowds at university functions.
Providing unique and diverse opportunities for students to broaden their horizons is part of Nilai U’s plans to deliver a total student experience.
This is where a student’s varsity experience is measured not just by what they learn in the classroom but other factors as well, including facilities and the opportunities to learn new skills.
Aside from her involvement in the Nilai University Christian Fellowship club and emceeing, Kavithaa is also a member of the FUN club ( Foundation Union Nilai club), event manager for the Indian Cultural Society and committee member on the Students’ Representative Council. Each provides the 20- year- old with new challenges and responsibilities.
“Meeting and working with different people has taught me to view the world differently and make me more broadminded,” says Kavithaa.
Despite her active involvement, Kavithaa has not neglected her studies. She makes it a point to revise her lessons daily to keep up with her course.
The BA ( Hons) in Accounting and Finance programme at Nilai U gives up to eight subject exemptions to examinations from professional organisations such as ACCA ( Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), CIMA ( Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) and ICAEW ( Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales).
Kavithaa has decided to pursue a career in the finance sector.
She says, “One of the main reasons I chose Nilai U’s programme is to major in both accounting and finance. My education in finance will then allow me to apply for a job in the banking sector.”
Kavithaa believes that young people should take full advantage of being a student at Nilai U.
“Make new friends and try new things. There are many clubs, societies and university events and functions that you can volunteer at to help build an impressive CV. It will be worth your while,” she says.
