Beyond the traditional and rigourous rite of passage of study provided by the faculty, the holistic university experience I had was made exciting with an array of out-of-classroom experiences from various industry network and leadership opportunities from the university platform. Ultimately, the balance between maximizing both technical and soft skills is the greatest asset provided to me by the faculty.

The three years in Sunway University have shaped me to be a better person – to understand the actuarial concepts, to think out of the box, to communicate well and to be an all-rounder. Entering my 4th year working in the general insurance industry yet I am still being utmost appreciative of the culture and training Sunway University has provided.

People always said that bad student doesn't exist, only teacher that doesn't know how to teach exist. If that's true, then no doubt that SMS staff are all professional. As a lecturer they always teach with patient, and to be honest I'm that type of student that doesn't like to study but they never once give me up. And as a elder they're always very friendly and provide a lot of meaningful suggestion. lastly, facilities wise i believe that Sunway's facilities are above average compared to other University within Malaysia.
