Testimonials

Mahyar Esteki- BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering

I learnt so much about professional attitude for high level job positions at Asia Pacific University. Moreover, APU taught me about respect to job commitment. I think these kind of soft skills are much more significant than any hard skills.

Noung Samboth- Bachelor (Hons) in Banking and Finance

APU has inspired me to be part of diversity. The university shows me the beauty of different cultures and equipped me with both approaches, individual and teamwork, which I found myself I am flexible enough in my career path.

Bibi Jehaan Naailah Ghaseeta- B.Sc (Hons) in Information Technology (specialism in Forensic Computing

APU has not only given me the chance to study what I wanted but it has also helped me develop the essential skills I needed to secure my dream job right after graduation! Studying and working alongside with people from all over the world was a knowledge-and-exposure enriching experience. My lecturers and other staffs were very friendly and helpful. The excellent study resources and facilities provided to us were top-notch and APU always encouraged me to think "outside-the-box" and opened my eyes into a whole new horizon. I was a also proud member of the Student Welcome Team and Student Ambassadors Team. The challenges that I went through in my student life being away from my family and beloved Mauritius had actually transformed me into the independent and responsible person that I am today. I am now working in the IT Security Team of an international company in Malaysia and I'm proud to say that I'm an APU Graduate!

Nigina Kadirova- BA (Hons) in Marketing Management

I am very grateful to APU for training me during the whole studying period in terms of finishing course works on time and preparing for exams. It has developed a very valuable skill in me which is time management and self-discipline as well as ability to close tasks/projects on time which is super important for all of the companies out there.

Darshini Nadarajan- BA (Hons) in International Business Management

University is all about learning, gaining new skills and new experiences. APIIT is a place that encourages students to develop holistically. Join different clubs/societies, or start your own and see yourself grow. Remember, hiring managers are looking for skills and experiences, not just your academic results.

Lok Chi Cheng- BA (Hons) Product Design

I am truly grateful to every academic staff of SOMAD, and the multiracial study environment. As a student, I’ve learned a lot of practical skills from classes; as an individual, I was trained to become a better and all-rounded person. Many opportunities are given to us to gain more industrial experiences. I’ve always enjoyed these workshops and events. All of these had motivate me and lead me to what I am doing now. My job is very challenging and interesting, it requires good problem-solving skills and good interpersonal skills, which is what I’ve always been trained for. I am really thankful to my lecturers that always push me to be confident in my own potential and strengths.

Teo Wai Lun- BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance with specialism in Forensic Accounting

The ultimate three words - Unique Culture, One-of-a-Kind, and Competitive, can be used to describe APU. The lecturers are very passionate, some of them really push the students beyond the limit and whatever you able to find out from the academic notes. We are trained to be efficient, effective and critical at the same time – so that we can cope with risks and uncertainties that we will face in real working life. Speaking of my current role, critical thinking is, indeed, the most exciting thing.

Yap Han Wen- BA (Hons) in Marketing Management

To sum it up in one word - awesome! The lecturers are caring and passionate of their work, willing to spend time to help their students as best they can. Studying in APU has prepared me for the challenges ahead in life and in my career. I wouldn't have gotten my current job if it weren't for APU's exposure and guidance.

Awais Farooqi- B.Eng (Hons) in Mechatronic Engineering

Whichever industry I have been to, after my engineering degree from APU I am always valued by the proficient engineers for my practical & innovative knowledge of technology, APU has given me a virtuous platform as an engineer to work independently for the course projects. This self-governing process of earning knowledge has developed me to become a best research and development assistant to any industry for its enhancement both in technology and business-sector.

Andrew Teh Boon Kheng - B.Eng (Hons) in Mechatronic Engineering

APU provided me a fabulous platform to equip myself to enter the industrial world, from organizing various engineering events to managing a team. Studying at Asia Pacific University has given me a lot of memorable and happy moments. It provided many opportunities for students to learn and explore. In the university’s engineering community, IEM-APU Student Section, I was one of the committee representatives to assist in different events such as seminar coordination, industrial visit arrangements and technical workshops to skill up other studetns and so on. It was such an honour to be enrolled in Asia Pacific University and be involved in this student section, as I could develop my management skills .The student section established a bridge between our internal communities and other universities to reinforce students’ experiences during their university life. These experiences made my student life eventful and valuable during my study at Asia Pacific University.

Tshering Deki Dorji- BSc (Hons) in Acturial Studies

APU is the completed package to what a university should be. From passionate lecturers, some of whom are genuinely interested in making the students succeed, to a campus with all the facilities required for a fruitful college life, APU has played a critical role in shaping the person I am today. The cultural diversity of the students provided a wonderful opportunity to learn about various cultures and traditions of the world. The enthusiasm of lecturers pushes each student to reach their highest potential. It is an excellent learning institution that inculcates the spirit of competition, professionalism and hard work in their students.

Yap Huey Ling- BSc (Hons) in Actuarial Studies

“As the saying goes, “It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.” The enthusiasm of APU lecturers to push their students to live up to their true potential have made the institution stand out from the crowd. Other than educating students with specific subject knowledge, some of the lecturers at APU are confident in delivering information, advice and guidance outside their own area of specialism by sharing their past experiences with the intention to motivate students to succeed in and out of the university. Meanwhile, the syllabus taught at APU do prepare their actuarial students for certain SOA professional exams. Perhaps the current actuarial program structure would have prepared their students even better for future career pathway in actuarial.”
