Vision College 2nd Convocation Ceremony

       On 11th January 2013, Vision College organised a convocation ceremony in Sime Darby Convention Centre. Being part of the organising committee gives me a whole new experience in Vision College. On the day itself, the student achievements are recognised and their 3 years of hard work paid off when they received their scrolls on the stage.
   

          Throughout the process of organising the convocation ceremony, I have learnt that it is not an easy task to accomplish as early preparation is crucial to ensure the event goes well as planned. Team work is important too because the administration and admission department joined hand in hand to make this event a successful one.

         A big congratulations to all our graduates. I hope that you have a memorable learning experience with Vision College. I wish you all the very best of luck in your future endeavours

Congratz to our first batch of KKM students who have successfully completed their study!

Growing with Vision College


This is my fourth year in Vision College. I pursued my studies in Postgraduate Diploma of Medical Ultrasonography (DMU) and graduated from Vision College back in 2007. For the first two years with Vision, I was working in the clinical settings and now, I am working as a sonographer tutor. Just recently, the 4th batch of DMU students has joined in the big family. 


          
People always ask for my personal opinion about Vision College. I would say that the college is at its growing stage and has the potential to be an established college in a few years time. Of course, I think that there are some limitations in this college, in terms of teaching facilities and the location of the campus.  

Nevertheless, I have to admit that Vision College has improved tremendously since 2007. Besides, I feel proud with this college too as it is the first and only college in this region that offers Diploma in Medical Ultrasonography (Asia)

This college comprises of young,energetic and experienced lecturers who are willing to share their knowledge with the students. We are also glad to have a director who is willing to listen to us and provide us a comfortable working environment. 

Are you willing to grow with Vision College?

A Trip to Myanmar

This was my 3rd time in Myanmar. I was representing Vision College to attend the Malaysia Education Fair organized by Jenko-Rexpo. After the airport formalities, I quickly took a cab to Central Hotel. After checking in, I rushed to Park Royal Hotel for the Education Fair.

Along the journey, I have noticed that there are some changes in Yangon. More luxury cars, skyscrapers and major constructions. I believe this could be the sign of Myanmar catching up with the other cities in Southeast Asia. 

When I stepped into the exhibition hall, I was greeted by a cheerful and friendly woman, Aunty Jenny . She quickly led me to my respective place and guided me to set up the booth as the first batch of visitors were coming in shortly. There were more than 40 institutions of government universities, private institutions, vocational skill training centre as well as language training centres from Malaysia who took part in the event.

As an overall, we have received a lot of positive responses from the crowd compared to two years ago when we came for the same purpose. Through this education fair, Vision College is no longer an 'alien' to the locals in Yangon.

I am grateful that I have met Dr. Myaw Kyaw during the education fair. Initially, he and his father were visiting to every single booth in the hall to seek for academic information and they were finally led to Vision College’s booth by Aunty Jenny. I got the opportunity to talk to him and learn that he was actually looking for a programme that he could join for self-development and also to start his career internationally. After a long conversation, Dr. Myaw Kyaw finally decided to join us for the Postgraduate Diploma of Medical Ultrasonography (Asia) in July 2013.

I was lucky that I got to know the representative of KBU international college, Mr Aung. He is a Burmese and currently working in KBU as the head of business programme. He brought me to a local famous spot for dinner together with his friendly parents. I had the chance to taste some of their local food and I really appreciate the warm hospitality from all of them.

             Cheers! Its’ beer time. Before we called it a day, Aung brought me to 
try the locally brewed beers.
