Why did I choose BSc International Business at Sunway University?

After completing A-Levels in Mauritius, choosing the right university was an uphill struggle, until I stumbled upon Sunway University. Among Malaysian universities, Sunway University is the only one having accreditation from Lancaster University, which is one of the Top 10 universities in the UK. In addition, Sunway University Business School (SUBS) is well known for its excellence in business education. The International Business degree is structured to allow students to gain an international perspective of challenges that businesses face and how to solve those using global economics theory, financial learnings and cultural knowledge. The Programme also entails key management and leadership skills within and beyond international boundaries, which will be valuable for my future career.

What do I enjoy about the Programme and the University environment?

Most of the subjects that I have done in my first year had group assignments that have allowed me to bond with Malaysian and International students from multiple cultural backgrounds. I find this a crucial aspect for International Business students due to the existence of cultural sensitivity globally. The diversity on campus molds a sense of community within students and staff.   Moreover, my previous and current lecturers at Sunway University are the most dedicated and passionate individuals that have incontestably shared their educational expertise throughout the course of their subjects. With the shift of classes to online platforms, due to the coronavirus pandemic, our current Programme Leader, Dr Shehnaz Tehseen, and the International Office constantly endeavor to uplift students and attend to our enquiries as constructively as possible.

Furthermore, there are diverse extracurricular activities for all students under various clubs and societies which are monitored by the Student Life Department. Being an active member of Sunway Student Volunteers, I get the opportunity to participate in various events, supporting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that Sunway University thrives for, in global partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). To add on, having excelled academically, I was recommended as a Peer Leader by my lecturer for the Peer Assisted Leaning Programme (PALP) – a peer facilitated student support scheme for SUBS. These extracurricular activities are unequivocally shaping my interpersonal, networking, leadership and time-management skills. 

Although, exigent and rigorous at times, I am assured that the curriculum will reward me with a breadth of in-depth knowledge and experiences that I will be able to leverage professionally.
