A sterling track record
TUNKU Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) has firmly established itself as one of the leading providers of professional business education in Malaysia as evident from its track record in The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) professional examinations.
In the ACCA June 2017 examination, Lee Jye Yong, a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) graduate achieved third top ACCA Affiliate in the World, setting a new record for TAR UC.
In the ACCA March 2017 examinations, Huang Chun Hui, Chin Jien Hua and Toh Shaw Jiun, also graduates of the Bachelor of Commerce (Hons), scored top marks in three different papers.
Huang was ranked top in Malaysia and fourth in the world for P2 Corporate Reporting whereas Chin ranked top in Malaysia and seventh in the World for P1 Governance, Risk and Ethics.
Toh ranked Top in Malaysia and 10th in the World for P3 Business Analysis. As for the ACCA September 2017 sitting, Chiew Hua King, a graduate of the Bachelor of Accounting (Hons), emerged top in Malaysia and Sixth in the World for P3 Business Analysis.
Meanwhile, Michelle Cheong, a Bachelor of Accounting (Hons) graduate, emerged as CIMA Prize Winner in Management Case Study 2016.
In the ICSA IQS Part 2 June 2017 examinations Lim Ka Way received the AmBank Group Prize for the best paper in Corporate Financial Management and Ng Kok Loong, the Telekom Malaysia Berhad prize for the best paper in Corporate Administration. Meanwhile, Ong Shu Yee was the Tricor Corporate Services prize winner for the best paper in Corporate Secretaryship.
Lee, who just started a new chapter in her life at Deloitte Malaysia said, “My lecturers and tutors were very knowledgeable and experienced. My coursework and internal examinations proved challenging but their guidance helped me tremendously in preparing for the external ACCA papers.” This young lady aspires to become a chartered accountant.
Meanwhile, Cheong shared, “I met many like-minded people at TAR UC who helped me become who I am today. The excellent learning facilities and academic teaching also played an instrumental role in my success.”
Working towards her CIMA qualification, she plans to pursue another globally recognised professional qualification in corporate finance and perhaps venture into the field of consultancy and/or urban development.
Ng offered some creative ways he prepared for the examination, “The syllabus is very broad and memorising facts is not very practical- it was more important to fully comprehend the subject matter.
One of my study techniques was to attempt past year questions and analyse how the suggested answers were worked out. I also had frequent revision sessions with my friends.”
He also emphasised that the syllabi of his diploma and bachelor degree programmes in TAR UC built a solid foundation that gave him the confidence to not only attempt the examinations but also excel in them.
The teaching and academic standards at TAR UC has firmly entrenched its reputation as the most respected institution in Malaysia in providing excellent professional business education.
