Kolej Yayasan UEM (KYUEM) is a world-class college of further education with Cambridge International Fellowship status.
Our A level results are of primary importance and they have improved with the passing years. Through 2018, 2019 and 2020 our A* to B grade achievements were 92, 93 and 96%. In this period A* and A grade data reads 74, 78 and 82%. The % data for 2018 and 2019 were achieved through examination, while those for 2020 were via CAIE Award.
Over the past 3 years of examinations, 2017 to 2019, 10 of our students were Top in Malaysia in individual A level subjects, and an additional 12 were Top in the World. The vast majority of KYUEM students then gain admission to their first or insurance choice of leading universities on the international stage. In 2020, 92 of our graduates enrolled at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Kings College, University College (all in London) and LSE. In the same year 19 of our seniors were offered places by Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, University College Berkeley and UCLA. Over the past 3 years an average of 92% of graduating seniors were given unconditional offers for higher education upon publication of their A level results.
Book learning and grade acquisition alone are not enough. Our students are required to develop an enviable skill set that will prepare them for higher education and the professions of their choice. Through frequent and rigorous assessment and a holistic approach to learning through dialogue and collaboration, KYUEM encourages its students to excel in communication, teamwork and leadership. Our wide selection of clubs and societies provides an opportunity to develop and pursue interest in sport, culture, debate and politics. Students here interact with their comparably high-achieving colleagues, all of whom have met our challenging entry requirements as strong performers at SPM or IGCSE level.
KYUEM teachers are highly experienced, with more than 80% of them having in excess of 10 years in the profession. More than half our teachers have post-graduate qualifications - PhDs or Masters degrees. We offer only CAIE International A levels, delivered by teachers of whom typically one third or more are expatriates. Our teachers are dedicated and industrious and our students benefit from a comprehensive network of pastoral support through House parents, tutors, wardens and matrons. The students can also rely on an elected Students' Council and peer group tuition. All involved share a common desire for the development of the academic, cultural and social balance that so frequently leads to success in life.
Every student in our fully boarding college has a private bedroom in a villa, an apartment or a chalet. We firmly believe that privacy permits focused study and a degree of independence. Each student may eat 3 times per day in either our Dining Hall or subsidised Cafeteria.
Our students enjoy a wide range of sports. Our Multi-Purpose Hall is equipped for badminton, squash, table tennis and weight training. Our outdoor courts are designed for basketball, netball, tennis and volleyball and our field for football and rugby. We also have an Olympic-sized swimming pool. With newly renovated classrooms, a Resource Centre, Lecture Theatres, Cyber Lounge, science laboratories and a 1000 capacity Great Hall, we aim to provide for all our students' needs. We have a Surau for the daily and Juma'at prayers of our Muslim students.
After 18 months or 2 years at KYUEM (we offer courses of both durations) our students usually maintain contact with us through our active Alumni Association Through this group current students receive advice from past students about living and studying abroad.
We are open for applications to our next 2-year study programme, beginning at the end of July 2021. For further information please contact our Marketing Department at 03-64601234 or visit the College website: www.kyuem.edu.my
