Hear from our student
Through my internship, I gained hands-on experience working in professional productions and expanded my network. It allowed me to apply classroom skills I learned in industry settings, deepening my understanding of production management and event coordination. Most importantly, it gave me the confidence to step outside my comfort zone and unlock my #GreaterPossibilities.— Noor Juhaidah Binte Noor Suhaimi, 2025 Graduate
