SINTOK, March 30 (Bernama) -- Twenty-two students from Yemen became the first batch of graduates under a collaboration programme between the Yemen University of Science and Technology and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) here.
The students, who graduated with a bachelor's degree, either in information technology or business administration, received their scrolls at the UUM's convocation Monday.
One of them, Najah Abduljabbar Almugahed, an information technology graduate, said she was very happy and excited to be back in Malaysia to receive the scroll after studying for four years.
"(When) I first stepped foot at UUM, I noticed there was very good opportunity for education development here and the courses that were offered encompassed theory and practical aspects," she added.
Najah, who is now a manager at an information technology development agency in Yemen, said she hoped to pursue her studies for a master's degree and then a doctorate to fulfil her ambition of contributing to her country and other Muslim countries through education.
Her country mate, Waleed Abdulkader Al-Mujahed, who graduated with a degree in business administration, said he enjoyed studying at UUM and had bought an expensive suit to wear for the convocation.
"I'll use the knowledge I have gathered to improve my family business in Yemen," said the company manager of Gardenia for Drugs and Medical Appliance.
Another Yemeni graduate in information technology, Aseel Abdulla Lutf Almutareb, said the programme gave him an opportunity to learn and acquire more skills in information technology.
"I'm now a web developer, which I have always wanted to be since a young boy, at Tahseen Consulting, Sana'a-Yemen and am hoping to be an expert in the field one day," he added.
