I know that with the help of KPU and my perseverance, I can achieve my dream for 10 years. As of now, my professors and classmates are a big help to achieve my dream because they are easy to approach to and very patient to me especially that this is my first semester in KPU.”

Regional Entrance Scholarship Awarded“KPU was the best option for me because of the experiential learning opportunities it provides and that fits perfectly with me as a hands-on learning enthusiast. I decided to pursue the Diploma in Horticulture at KPU because apart from high academic standards and its practical application, it is a multicultural center that offers an infinity of activities to develop myself comprehensively.”

Melville School of Business
Regional Entrance Scholarship Awarded"I decided to return to school after a few years working in procurement and logistics in Vietnam. At first, I was quite doubtful about my decision, leaving all behind to head for the OSCM program at KPU. After one and a half years, I consider choosing OSCM at KPU is one of the right decisions that I have made in my life.
KPU has so much to offer: the passionate professors with advanced academic degrees and proven industry experience; the well-designed course; friendly and awesome classmates [and] a great deal of supporting resources. I feel motivated and grateful for the study journey at KPU.” - Image

International Merit Scholarship Awarded“When I discovered a program that could turn sustainability into something applicable, through Business Management, I was inevitably drawn towards KPU. A university that has strong connections with industry, guaranteeing practical and vanguard knowledge. As I’ve come to discover during my first term here, it delights me to confirm not only that, but the fact that KPU goes the extra mile, caring about students’ wellbeing and success both now, and in our future careers.”
