This is not about money it’s about attitude, bias, and terrible student handling. The university advertises itself as one of the best, but my experience during the September intake period proves otherwise. I initially contacted them for consultation and was handled by Valerie Ooi, who did not respect my time, failed to follow up properly, and showed no consistency. Without proper explanation or accountability, she simply passed my case to another counsellor, making me feel like I was being pushed aside instead of properly guided. After that, I was handled by Mohan, who took almost ONE WEEK to reply. During an intake period, this kind of delay is completely unacceptable. When I asked about financial assistance, his only response was “take a bank loan” no explanation, no breakdown, no alternatives, no effort. Just a lazy reply. They clearly assumed I’m from the T20 group, as if I have RM100,000 sitting in my bank account. Completely out of touch with reality. Students from M40 backgrounds are clearly not taken seriously. What made this experience even worse was what happened later. After all the poor communication and lack of guidance during the Septembe intake, Valerie suddenly messaged me casually with “hi hi” and said “today is enrolling day”like what she trying to say ?or she making fun of me that I only ask and didnt able to Join yes because its expensive tuition fees and not a single financial assistance . At that point, it felt insensitive and disrespectful, as if there was zero awareness of how badly I had already been treated. It honestly came across like showing off the enrolment process rather than genuinely caring whether I was supported. Overall, this counselling experience felt selective and biased, where only a certain target crowd is prioritised, while others are ignored once they don’t fit the profile. Don’t promote yourself as a top university if your counsellors can’t even provide basic professionalism during intake season. I felt dismissed, undervalued, and poorly treated throughout this entire process. This is not student guidance it’s careless, biased, and unprofessional behaviour. I’m honestly glad I walked away and found another university that actually treats students fairly, respectfully, and professionally. Future students deserve to know the truth before wasting their time.

Guys, I Would like to personally special thanks to the program counselors - En.Azuan for the endless support on my various of enquiry from inception of my son's course up to nearly completion study of the Diploma course during these two years. He is really patience and very responsible guy even though the issues which he attended from me is not part of his scope of work, however, he is still willing to help out and assist for the problem arise. A VERY BIG Thumbs up to this Gentleman and i hope UOW really appreciate for having this kind of staff (nowadays) being working within the organization.

The school overall is nice the poeple were welcoming and the facility is nice but I've been playing football for a few weeks now at their futsal court which is not gated or anything an the player welcomed me and talk too me but today I was told I cant play because I am an outsider and not a student which is weird cuz I thought this university was welcoming too all and I've seen guards clapping and smiling when they see me train and play but apparently their management is complaining about outsiders? And im wondering how they knew im an outsider. I only wish too train and play football and I caused no trouble and I didn't damage or hurt anyone so i want too know if im welcome too play at UOW or not.

This university isnt bad but absolutely not great. Lectures are long and pointless, teachers are sometimes rude and the schedule is atrocious. Assignments are boring and have no use to your diploma. Never go to foundation studies here, you will just waste your time. We spent 3 months learning power poin and microsoft word, and what is a computer (but only the old computers). Thid is an awful experience. Just save your money

University centre for education. Nearly 3500 students studying here. They cafe, 7E, clothes shop n many more. Accommodation for students are in the same building. Parking for visitors are paid by debit card or touch n go. Plenty of parking, outside or indoor parking available.

Beautiful campus, though some areas are not too well lit. It is a slight distance from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, but it gets you away from some of the traffic associated with the Golden triangle. Came for the student restaurant lunch at Les Cuisinier. Great ambiance and experience. It may be a little difficult to navigate as a newcomer but just ask the guards here to help. They are quite friendly. The staff and students are equally if not more hospitable, and the beautiful interior of the restaurant takes your breath away.

This institution of higher learning was formerly KDU before the college consolidated their program with UOW (University of Wollongong, Australia) to run a full undergraduate program within the Malaysian premise here. Class rooms are nicely organised with numerous large lecture theatres dispersed around the campus building. There's a small basketball court and playing field adjacent to the main campus building.
