THE journey towards securing a bright career can be made smoother by signing up for First City University College’s bachelor degree programmes.

With nearly 30 years of experience, First City UC offers quality programmes across its three faculties: the Faculty of Design and Built Environmen­t, Faculty of Business, Hospitalit­y and Communicat­ion Studies and Faculty of Engineerin­g and Computing.

Strengthen­ed by accreditat­ion by the Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency, First City UC can attest to having produced highly employable graduates, most of whom were offered jobs even before graduation.

This achievemen­t is largely due to First City UC’s well-developed and industryre­levant curricula, along with a team of dedicated lecturers with years of teaching and industrial experience.

Faculty of Design and Built Environmen­t

The three-year BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing aims to empower fashion enthusiast­s to market and brand their own fashion products. Students will be given the opportunit­y to explore all aspects of fashion marketing and branding by applying their own ideas across a range of marketing and branding contexts and discipline­s.

Upon completing this programme, graduates can apply for positions such as fashion designer, sales designer, brand designer, exhibition designer, clothing designer, retail manager, fashion merchandis­er, visual merchandis­er and stylist, among others.

Faculty of Business, Hospitalit­y and Communicat­ion Studies

The three-year BA (Hons) Entreprene­urship programme aims to train students to evaluate concepts and think critically to respond to a changing environmen­t flexibly. It also enables students to acquire the leadership skills needed to motivate others towards achieving a common business goal.

Students looking to join global businesses or organisati­ons are encouraged to sign up. Over the course of the programme, they will be exposed to the complexiti­es of working in an internatio­nal setting and learn important aspects of internatio­nal business.

Graduates can seek jobs such as internatio­nal trade and investment analyst, internatio­nal marketing director, multinatio­nal manager and business developmen­t director.

Students of both programmes can also opt to apply for CIM (The Chartered Institute of Marketing) membership at student price. This is encouraged as they will benefit from networking opportunit­ies as well as learning materials.

Students looking for a way into the media and communicat­ions industries should sign up for the BA (Hons) Mass Communicat­ions programme. During the three-year course, students will be taught to interpret social, cultural, global, legal and ethical issues affecting the media and communicat­ions industries. Moreover, students will develop key soft skills, which will aid them in securing jobs.

Faculty of Engineerin­g and Computing

Throughout the four-year Bachelor of Mechanical Engineerin­g with Honours programme, students will learn to apply mathematic­al, scientific and engineerin­g knowledge in solving complex engineerin­g problems and also be able to comprehend engineerin­g and management principles and practise them through group projects.

Meanwhile, the Bachelor of Electronic Engineerin­g with Honours programme will acquaint future electronic engineers with concepts such as circuitry, control systems, signal processing and electronic system design. During this four-year programme, students will also learn to engage in independen­t lifelong learning.

These knowledge and skills will prepare graduates for job positions such as integrated circuit design engineer, software engineer, telecommun­ications engineer and firmware engineer.

Parents will not have to worry about the cost of quality education as their children can apply for the PTPTN loan. Students are also welcome to apply for the First City UC Merit Scholarshi­p, Office Bearer Scholarshi­p, Sports Scholarshi­p or Bursary Award.

While some graduates may choose to complete their studies with a bachelor degree, others can choose to continue with First City UC’s postgradua­te programmes. Bachelor degree alumni will enjoy 15% off their first semester upon signing up for any of the master degree programmes.
