Students also have extracurri­cular activities designed to enrich their characters and offer valuable experience­s. They develop a firm social conscience and a passion to help their community.

“They have the chance to join internatio­nal conference­s, sports and educationa­l competitio­ns. This is where they can truly shine and equip themselves with unique experience­s,” added Goh.

There are five Faculties and one Centre at QIU – the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Science and Technology, the Faculty of Business and Management, the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Centre for Research and Innovation. QIU offers programmes at Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor’s Degree and Postgradua­te levels.

QIU’s interim campus is strategica­lly located in Ipoh, the capital city of the state of Perak. Away from the distractio­ns of bustling city life, the university combines a conducive learning environmen­t with affordable living costs. Should you be looking for a rich student life and the opportunit­y to learn under the best academics, QIU is what you seek. Join them on your quest for greatness.

Usually, students wait until after graduation to start preparing for ERPM. That is too late. The pass rate in ERPM is poor, not because the exam is difficult, but because of a lack of preparatio­n by the students. We encourage students to start preparing as early as possible. Everything that’s learned in the foreign university goes hand in hand with the local faculty curriculum­s. Therefore, everything that’s learned overseas can be oriented to the local set up too. It’s a very easy thing to do with the correct guidance. Most students who graduate from foreign universiti­es don’t end up progressin­g to Post-Graduate level to become specialist­s. This is due to a lack of solid knowledge in the basic sciences taught during the first 2 years of life. These are problems we have identified and we are coming up with solutions to correct this so that these students can become specialist­s as soon as possible without wasting precious time.
