Hi, my name is Tan Yi Siang and I am Ex- TAR college student. After I completed my Advanced Diploma (AFA), I continue my further study in SHU & BCU in UK. After I finished my Master Degree in BCU, I am now continuing my Doctorate in Business Administration in Malaysia.
   I have to say thanks a lot to SBS & SAU giving me a good opportunity to further study and explore more in England. Wow, you never know that the first feeling when I got accepted by the University in UK!  It was so excited and wonderful. I use almost one month to prepare my stuff carefully on what I should bring to UK.
   The experience in UK was so different and the way of teaching in the University was also different. We have to be independent and accept the challenge so that we improve ourselves and grow. I have to concentrate and focus in the class and try to get used to their way of teaching. In England; I spend most of my free time in the library to do research and homework. The library provides everything a student needs with great facilities.
   Apart from that, the University society also provided some affordable trips which opened for International students to join and allowed them to explore other parts of UK. I took this opportunity to explore a lot of places in the UK, a really cool experience for me. If you have a chance to continue your further study in a foreign country, please go ahead. It will open up your eyes and provide you with a lot of great opportunities to explore another country; meet new people and improve yourself.
    SAU put a lot of effort to help me with my application process to the UK University and when I encountered problem with my VISA. SAU staffs (Ms Angeline) helped me to follow up every day and this makes me really touch and appreciate her assistance. I might not be able to further study to England without SAU assistance.  Many Thanks.
   During my study in England, I met some nice English families and they invited me to stay with them almost every weekend. It was an amazing experience as this gave me good opportunity to interact with local people and learn their culture.  I tried their traditional food and spent a great time sharing my Malaysian experience with them.
   To my juniors at TAR UC, please be clear what do you want to do in the future. If you have a chance to further your study in foreign country, just go for it. You will definitely gain something from there. Just walk to Study Abroad Unit and the counsellor will always be there to guide you and give you the best advice. Do not miss the good opportunity for you to improve and learn more!
