Better industry prospects
DUE to the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses can only begin to brace for an economic rebound next year, and students must be willing to adapt to the “new normal” conditions of the job market.
Regardless of their disciplines, students are encouraged to acquaint themselves with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 which includes technologies such as big data and analytics, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
For over 30 years, First City University College (formerly known as KBU International College) has consistently produced versatile, highly employable graduates through its industryrelevant diploma programmes.
It has successfully done so via its well-reviewed curricula and also a team of experienced lecturers across its three faculties – Faculty of Design and Built Environment, Faculty of Business, Hospitality and Communication Studies and Faculty of Engineering and Computing.
Students with a passion for creativity or designing should consider enrolling into Faculty of Design and Built Environment (FDBE), where they will have the opportunity to use facilities such the Mac Lab, Drawing Studio, White Canvas Gallery and more. They may consider signing up for one of the following FDBE programmes.

Besides that, the Faculty of Business, Hospitality and Communication (FBHC) offers students diploma programmes that train them for local and international industries that have potential for growth or require versatility.

• Business Administration
Faculty of Engineering and Computing (FEC) prepares students with a passion for science and mathematics for the many career possibilities brought about by Industrial Revolution 4.0.
