11 students from Denmark, who joined Limkokwing University three weeks ago for their Summer Camp Student exchange programme, have come towards the end of their visit.

The students from Aarhus Business Academy in Denmark were here purposefully to explore business in Malaysia. They went on research tours to F1 Sepang and automobile museum, as well as International businesses like Carlsberg in Shah Alam, which is originally a Danish brewing company.

Another insightful tour they took was to the Al Rajhi bank; Kuala Lumpur, the purpose of this visit was to expose the students to business financing, and to instill a general understanding of Islamic corporate financing.

The students learnt about the meaning of halal; an integral part of the Malaysian community. They got the opportunity to learn this during the lecture about Halal Trade in Malaysia held at the University’s Kuala Lumpur centre, in the heart of the bustling city.

It was an interesting lesson in the sense that products like Carlsberg operate in Malaysia, yet they are non-Halal. Islamic banking and finance has become a force to be reckoned with in the global economic scenario, and Malaysia is considered as an Islamic finance powerhouse; it is considered as the most attractive and progressive across the industry and across non-Islamic countries as well. The students were eager to learn about a thriving country such as this one.

In addition to that, the lovely lot got the chance to go on a research tour to muzium Negara; The National Museum of Malaysia. This tours’ objective was to expose the students to the cultural heritage and diversity that Malaysia has to offer, and the historical basis of Malaysian trade.

While Limkokwing University is known to be an industry-oriented University, it has always excelled in giving its students exposure to industry demands and business etiquette.

The business students attended classes, had assignments and projects to work on. They worked on a project called developing a business in a Malaysian market, which they passed with flying colours.

“I will really miss Limkokwing University, if I could stay I would do everything all over again, I’ll definitely miss the music playing in plaza, the friends I made from so many countries I never imagined I’d meet, sharing their cultures and being able to relax with them in between classes at Wings Cafe,” said one of the students, Elitsa Marinkova.

Elitsa added that the University’s atmosphere is so creative, and vibrant, it’s lively and so multicultural, something which isn’t so popular back in their campus at Denmark.

Limkokwing University has always been open to welcoming students from any part of the world to study, and share the Asian experience, as well as to interact with students from 165 nationalities.
