The combination of coursework and exams in the SACE programme mirrors the assessment methods in university, and has given me an opportunity to familiarise with this new learning style. I have also been lucky to have some dedicated and knowledgeable lecturers who never hesitated to give us extra help and guidance when we needed it. They have helped me gain a deeper understanding of my subjects at hand.
With an access to a myriad of learning resources, a supportive team of professional lecturers and motivation from my peers. I’m constantly being challenged and inspired to reach my full potential in my learning experience at DISTED,
I was the DISTED Full Scholarship recipient in 2017. I felt so honoured to receive the scholarship as it does not only reduce my parents’ financial burden, but also serves as an important stepping stone to my future success by keeping me motivated towards my studies.
Mr Kelvin has helped and adviced me in many ways throughout my studies at DISTED. This includes getting the Student Visa application and handling of all the necessary legal processes which allowed me, as an International student to study in Malaysia. He was also my mentor and was always there to assist, guide and support me and he made sure that I focused on my studies. Not to forgot, the staff and the lecturers were very kind and helpful. I truly enjoyed my studies at DISTED.
DISTED takes on the challenges to provide tertiary education for visually impaired students. It’s a great opportunity for us to continue further education and pursue our passion and dreams.
While studying at DISTED, we were offered extra consultation classes to make sure we understand our studies, completing our assignments and are well prepared for our tests and exams.
DISTED lecturers went the extra mile of arranging the classrooms to accommodate students like me who are visually impaired and used friendly teaching methods to enable us to understand and impart knowledge to us.
I like to take on new challenges and always wish to raise the awareness of visual impairment. I’m fortunate that the college, my mentor Mr Kelvin and the President & CEO of this College, Dr Seah Soo Aun was always there to support my outreach activities.
I like to spend my free time at DISTED library. The environment is so conducive and equipped with tons of study materials, journals and reading facilities for visually impaired students like me. Not to forget, the staff at DISTED are extremely helpful and warm.
First of all, I am grateful that DISTED has given me a great opportunity to complete my degree in IBM (International Business Management) course as well as widen my knowledge of the international business. On the other hand, DISTED also being supportive on the academic clubs which has given me more opportunities to practise my soft skills practically throughout the club’s activities
