Welcome to KYUEM!

Assalamualaikum & a good day peeps! :D

Today I would like to talk about my beloved college.



The only way in or out, is via North-South Expressway E1
(Lembah Beringin exit)


It is Kolej Yayasan UEM, situated in Lembah Beringin, around 70 km from Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. The college offers Cambridge International A-Level programme for 24 months and the enrolment is on July/August every year. (In the past there was a January intake for an 18-month programme but starting from next year, there will be no such intake). Since the cost is quite high (RM86k/24 months), therefore most of the students are sponsored (60-70%) while others are private students/self-sponsored.
