Carol in AU-IBT

AU-IBT is one of the most significant parts of my life

I left Malaysia and flew to Denmark in search of new life experiences and challenges. One of the most significant parts of my life was when I was studying at AU-IBT. I have always wanted to study at a university and prove to myself that I am able to excel in whatever I choose to partake in.

In Malaysia, education is not subsidized by government and therefore not everyone gets the opportunity to obtain higher education. AU-IBT gave me this opportunity and much more. Not only did I obtain my Bachelor's degree, I also received many life lessons while studying at AU-IBT.

From Malaysia to Denmark to Malaysia
Today, I am employed in a Japanese car manufacturing company named Honda. I am the HOD (Head of Department) for the Customer Relations Department here in Malaysia. It is a rather challenging job heading a department with 5 different sections. But the most challenging, I must say, is adapting to a totally different organisational culture and also to work with people from different backgrounds.

In short, it was the interpersonal and intrapersonal skills that I learnt through the years at AU-IBT that are helping me in facing all the challenges I am facing today. In essence, education alone does not guarantee you a successful life. Open yourself to the basic lessons of life and be grateful that you will be part of a land of vast opportunities.
