“The International Foundation programme was the perfect launchpad for my higher education journey. I am incredibly grateful to have received the Provost's Award Scholarship, which significantly alleviated my financial pressure and allowed me to focus entirely on my academic pursuits. Building on this solid foundation, I am excited to progress to the BSc Finance & Business Management programme at the University of Reading Malaysia, where I look forward to earning a prestigious, globally recognised UK degree right here in Malaysia. “
