At the beginning of February 2024, Limkokwing University's final-year students from three faculties – Creative Arts & Lifestyle, Creative Technology, and Business & Communication – presented their graduation exhibition. This event marks the culmination of their academic journey, where students display their final year projects, demonstrating their skills and readiness for the professional world.
The projects showcased are each student’s individual efforts, highlighting their abilities in planning, developing, and completing comprehensive projects. These projects are not merely academic tasks but a testament to the student’s ability to conduct thorough research and address any challenges posed by industry experts. This practical approach ensures that students are equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
The Faculty of Creative Arts & Lifestyle exhibited various projects that showcased artistic flair and innovative thinking. From unconventional fashion designs to storytelling through graphic art, the students displayed their ability to keep up with and incorporate the latest trends in the art world.
In the Faculty of Creative Technology, the projects showcased a blend of innovation and technical expertise. Students presented software applications, games, and digital solutions to real-world problems. Their work demonstrated a deep understanding of technology and its application in developing functional and user-friendly solutions.
The Faculty of Business & Communication presented projects that effectively combined theoretical knowledge with practical application. The students demonstrated a solid grasp of business and communication principles, from marketing strategies that could revolutionise business operations to communication plans designed to influence public perception.
Dounia Bouneb from Algeria, a recent Bachelor of Business in Marketing programme graduate, shared her experience: “The diverse and multicultural atmosphere fostered creativity and provided unique perspectives, enriching the brainstorming and idea generation processes.” Her project, a social platform app called Z aimed at championing freedom of speech, reflects the innovative spirit nurtured at Limkokwing. “Through my final project, I’ve learned invaluable lessons at Limkokwing University that will guide my future career,” Dounia added.
Dounia’s advice to incoming students reflects the values of Limkokwing University: “Embrace diversity by interacting with peers from different backgrounds, participating in extracurricular activities to develop skills and expand your network.” She emphasises the importance of seeking mentorship, taking initiative, balancing priorities, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.
The graduation exhibition at Limkokwing University is more than just a display of student projects; it is an opportunity for students to showcase their talents and for industry experts to witness the potential of the next generation of professionals. As these students step into the professional world, they carry with them not just their degrees but the skills, knowledge, and confidence to significantly impact their respective fields.
