Millions are staking their claim in the new world of cyberspace. Here is where the world is truly flat. The web is, indeed, the future for all information and content distribution. It is also the place that connects people of like minds regardless of race, gender, age and creed. Here is where the Limkokwing University has built its niche that is rapidly expanding as more and more people respond to its vision for a new kind of education.

190 countries

The University website is providing the common ground for people in 190 countries (which is practically the whole world, considering there are 194 countries in the world) to find value and meaning in the content of the site. That it is user friendly with great graphics is endorsed by the many awards that the website has received just this year alone.

"In today's reality with eastern economies such as Japan, China, Korea and India challenging the western economies for global dominance, strictly western-centric education is no longer sufficient even for people living in the West. The East and the West are forever sealed as two sides of the same coin. If you know only one side of the world but not the other, you will spend your lives knowing only half the story, seeing only half the picture and missing out on half the opportunities.

The people in the West must want to know why the East is rising so rapidly and how this shift in the balance of economic power is going to impact on their countries and their future. To those living in the East, the ways of the West are very important because this region is home to the world’s richest nations and the world’s most innovative economies. These countries dictate whether economies around the world expand or decline."
