Successful Graduates
LIU BO -Statutory Compliance Manager
BA (Hons) Business Administration
I love the environment in First City UC. It is centrally located and very convenient. After class,
I like to study in the library and relax at the green playground. The college staff are very
friendly and helpful. The lecturers often use real-life examples in the class which has taken
my learning beyond theory. I have also learnt to apply my knowledge to coursework carried
out in various forms, e.g. working in teams, conducting research, giving presentations, etc.
I have also made many good friends, some have become very close to me. This is a positive
place to further my education and the experience has broadened my horizon.
CHRISTINE, CHEN XIAO LING -Global Payroll Manager

BA (Hons) Business Administration
I chose to study at First City UC as it has a very conducive environment that provides students
with a very comfortable feeling. The course is well planned and the lecturers are experienced.
I strongly recommend First City UC to students because you hardly can find an environment
that offers you a university feeling in the city. You can enjoy sports after study or continue
reading a book in the campus to suit your preference for action or reflection.. Also, the
quality of the lectures is always up to expectation.
LIM CHING WEN -Airline Service Management

Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management
First City University College provided me a solution to my indecision over what course to
take because I was not sure what I wanted to do for the future. It gave me an opportunity
to study the course I am interested in. No doubt, it was the best choice that I made. With
its central location, friendly atmosphere, the quality of facilities and most importantly the
quality of the lecturers and education here, I would recommend my friends to study here.
In addition, First City UC gave me the opportunity to study abroad. Through its partner
HTMi, I did my degree in Switzerland for a year and had the best experience meeting
people from all over the world. I would like to thank First City UC for this.
SAM CHOON HONG -Assistant Customer Relations Manager

Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management
I like studying at First City UC. The friendliness of students from different courses created
a cozy study environment. I had an opportunity to study very interesting subjects on Tourism
Management, Law and Marketing and gained a lot of knowledge.The practical classes on
accommodation, kitchen and event management were very challenging and provided a
good experience for me. Furthermore the lecturers were very professional and patient in
guiding me.
