Kuala Lumpur, 16 February 2009 - UCSI University recently held a Study Canada Fair which gave students the opportunity to preview, under one roof, some of the top Canadian universities. The event was a platform for students to get immediate feedback on queries they may have about the country and also the universities.

Students who want to pursue their studies in Canada had the opportunity to personally meet counsellors from the University of Manitoba, University of New Brunswick, University of Winnipeg, University of Lethbridge and Laurentien University.

The Study Canada Fair is one of the many events and services offered by UCSI University’s International University Placement Centre (IUPC) which aims to ensure that UCSI University students have a smooth transition to partner universities abroad.

The centre is dedicated to providing students with choices, and the freedom to pursue an education overseas without the hassle. University of Manitoba’s Director of Admissions, Ms. Iris Reece Tougas said that studying overseas will enable students to gain a wider perspective on career avenues. “By studying in Canada, students will not only get a broader outlook on their chosen programme and career, but also get to experience life that is different from what they are used to,” she said.

Counsellors at the Study Canada Fair also acknowledged that UCSI University students are of very good quality, as they are well trained in other areas aside from their academics, such as soft skills. They are also well informed about transfer opportunities and took advantage of fee waivers offered by the universities by signing up on the spot.

Last year, UCSI University was awarded Company of the Year by the Malaysia Canada Business Council (MCBC), which attests to the long-standing and good ties the university has with various universities in that country.
