TESTIMONIALS
I found that pursuing a postgraduate study in IIUM is
unique and motivating. The culture, people, facilities and
educational environment are wonderful as I felt like
studying in an Islamic foreign university. I feel proud to
obtain a PhD carrying the name of the university.

Mohd Fairullazi B. Ayob / G0921151 (Ph.D)

The KAED, IIUM provides a supportive and challenging
environment for learning in Built Environment. As a
student and professional in urban planning, I found
KAED to be an incredible place to interact with incredibly
intelligent and experienced professors & lecturers who
are also generally supportive people. I also enjoy the
diverse backgrounds of my fellow classmates.

Md Farabi B. Md Yussoff/ G1039369 (MSc.BE)

It is a great experience to study in KAED, IIUM. I
registered myself for MSc. BE (Master by Research)
where I undergone intensive research work making
myself independent and boosting my self confident.
Mixing myself with international students help me in
improving my English skills.

Nurul Aida Bt. Salim/ G1115458 (MSc.BE)

I entered this university and to this Kulliyyah precisely
to get a masters degree. Since I started my study I
found a new horizon which made me more motivated
to go for the PhD. This is all due to the environment of
the whole Kulliyyah. Simply, knowledge in IIUM has no
boundaries and I really value how KAED, IIUM took the
Islamic philosophy and set it into my achievements.

Mohammed Amer Younus/ G0910441 (MURP)

"It was difficult to pick up books again after leaving it for
almost 18 years. Thanks to IIUM, my dream came true. By
enrolling in the Master of Science in Building Services
Engineering, I managed to uplift my knowledge in the
building industry to a higher level and found answers to
my queries during my last 18 years of practicing life. I love
the multi-culture environment in IIUM, it made my studies
more meaningful and full of memories.
