KLMU-Quality and practicality sets us apart as one of the leading educator

Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College Building
In line with the Institution's "Real World Practice" principle, the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College (KLMU) has dedicated itself to help young adults to enter the workforce.

In ensuring that students are employed upon graduation, the institution has a dedicated department that provides employability training to final semester students.

Prior to graduation, students will attend a guidance programme that would increase their employability. The programme is simplified into three main functions.

The first function aims to educate students on the current industrial requirements. These include briefings on the student's role within their chosen careers, conduct as well as expectations. Students are trained to develop their communication and project management skills. They would also learn to write resumes and conduct interview with potential employers.

Secondly, the department would assist in its employment suitability through the institution's own network of companies. This includes contacting the intended company while organising the interview for the students.

Finally, upon employment, the department maintains constant contact with both students and employer. This contact enables the institution to monitor job performance on the graduates to provide graduate feedback and suitability. Employers are also provided with an evaluation form to rate the graduates based on their skills, knowledge and attitude.

Students will also receive the benefits of practical education that would enable their transition from student to employee.

KLMU Students are exposed to the real world through participation with various contest and experiential learning. Among some of the exposure students have participated include the "Inspired2011" fashion show, "DETA - Dulux Emerging Talent Awards" and frequent outdoor study activities that includes overseas travel by the Interior Design classes.

Established since 1990s, KLMU attained university status in 2006 and currently has over 6,604 students on campus. The institution grew in leaps and bounds and has removed the use of whiteboards in favour of a boardless classroom. This enabled KLMU to develop a multimedia based-learning environment with a customisable curriculum.

The institution has already invested RM350 million in the construction of the institution's Wangsa Maju Campus which is a 9.4 acre project to accommodate an increased number of students. The campus project consists of seven 10-storey Block Campus building, student apartment residences, various educational facilities and improved education technologies.
