With a passion for education and thirst for knowledge, Azwar Mehdi who was born and raised in Iraq took a leap of faith and moved to Malaysia with hopes of a better education journey and future. He has been a member of the Limkokwing community completing his bachelors and masters and is now pursing his PhD studies.

Mehdi is currently a lecturer at the Faculty of Business Management and Globalisation. “I’ve always held a fascination for teaching and wondered how my lecturers juggle their time with their studies while handling so many students at once. I’ve had the utmost respect for them growing up.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has actually tested our resilience and given us an opportunity to step out of out comfort zones and get with time. At Limkokwing University, we believe in evolving and adapting. We have been conducting online classes while also ensuring that our students gain both theoretical and practical knowledge.”

Mehdi shares with us that he has learnt so much these past few years being in Malaysia- right from culture to career. “I find teaching exciting because in the process of it, I’m also learning a whole lot from my students who come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and walks of life.”
