New chapter

The visit to the university by the reputable Danish institution is an endorsement of Limkokwing’s leadership in creative education and as a global university with campuses established across three continents in Asia, Africa and Europe.

On the global scale, Limkokwing University is home to 30,000 students from 150 countries with about 10,000 from Malaysia and 145 foreign countries studying at its Cyberjaya campus.

Best of both worlds

A trendsetter in education, Limkokwing is the initiator of the best of east and west concept, a system of learning and teaching that is gaining in popularity around the globe.

Globalization demands a new kind of graduates to power the next leap forward by organizations as they grapple with the intricacies created by people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Here at Limkokwing, students from all over the world intermingle in a cross-cultural environment that allows them to cultivate international understanding that will serve them well as they secure employment in a borderless business scenario where goodwill is as important as 21st century education in hiring new employees.

Global classroom

Soffia S. S. Admundsson from Denmark had this to say about Limkokwing University.

United we stand: The visitors from Business Academy Aarhus were amazed by the towering effigy of the 1Malaysia concept and insisted on posing by the largest indoors structure that signifies a united Malaysia.

“I am glad I came because I wouldn’t have experienced this international culture at home. I love the Asian culture. This opportunity makes an individual evolve into a well-rounded and informed person, a definite plus. This global awareness creates a new angle and dynamism to life.’

And Micheal Just Hansen who holds a Diploma in Interactive and Multimedia Design was equally buoyant about the university.

“I thought education was such a boring outdated concept of classrooms, lecturers and exams until I came to Limkokwing. I never knew learning could be such fun. I find the unique flexibility at Limkokwing allows me to acquire additional skills for my dream career. I can’t find this flexibility anywhere else.’

MoU

The exchange of understanding between Limkokwing University and Business Academy Aarhus is designed to produce several outcomes in the field of education such as dual arrangement programmes that will see students graduating with two awards, internship placements, and courses in multimedia sciences and the forging of new collegial ties.
