Testimonies

“The Mass Communication course at Life College is unlike other colleges. It has a more hands-on approach that exposed the student to a wide range of experiences. Small class sizes allow for more interaction and personal attention to be given to the students.In addition, the community culture encourage students to work in groups, to learn to relate with each other well as they work on projects, discussions and assignments. Teachers are also able to provide more personal coaching and guidance, giving personal inputs to identify the weaknesses and strengths of each student. As the students develop strong bonds, the benefits will be far reaching when they utilise their networking skills in the workplace.If you are interested in a Mass Communication program, Life College is the place you want to be”by Mr. John Beh, Lecturer, Diploma in Mass Communication
“Life College is small but effective. It is easy to teach students head knowledge but we need to impart real education. At Life College we emphasise a lot on values, morals and business ethics into our classrooms which is very important in the working world. People who do not have the values or the ethics tend to commit all kinds of white collar crimes. By teaching life values beyond the textbooks, we hope we can help our students to become good corporate citizens of this country.”by Dr. Peter Yee, Lecturer, Diploma in Business Studies
by Mr. Andrew Simon, Lecturer, Diploma in Business Studies
“You gain more than an education at Life College. It is a place that strongly believes in the transference of values and development of character which is so important these days. ”
“The Multimedia course at Life College is catered for the necessary skills in the multimedia and communication industry. They will learn cutting edge skills that cannot be found without adequate equipment and resources. Such skills taught at the College cannot be gained from classes elsewhere. The experienced trainers from the industry, applied their practical knowledge and latest know-how into their classroom engagements, transferring skills, knowledge and wisdom in a personable, caring and conducive environment. Teachers are very caring, providing good pastoral care to the students and leadership qualities”by Mr. Josiah Wong, Lecturer, Diploma in Multimedia
“ Teaching at Life College involves teaching values besides head knowledge that will help our students to find good jobs upon graduation.”Mr. See Teik Jin, Lecturer, Diploma in Business Studies

I would describe Life College as a cool place and of course it has a friendly environment as well. One thing that I have learnt from life College is that you have to be independent and of course you have to learn how to think critically and it depends sometimes on the assignments that the lecturers give you but one thing that I would cherish here is the friends that I had who actually helped me in projects and also assignments and I will never forget that.by Melissa Joan
It was a fantastic time I had here and finally I have come to this stage that I graduated. Thank you to all my friends,and especially the Mission trip People,My Time here at Life College Is AWESOME. I have totally No regrets at all. No Regretsby Jassny Martin
I have learnt a lot from Life College , I know and have met many friends,good and great friends . The friends I met here have helped me a lot. Thanks to them all for helping me that today I have graduated.What I will remember most are the administrators like Ms Elaine who helped me a lot. When I was faced with problems, she helped me out. So did the lecturers who also helped me a lotby Lim Kee Loon
I am really happy and I want to thank Life College for the internship, scholarship, and for being able to finish my study here..I am happy nowI have learnt a lot from design to everything related to multimedia and I even had the opportunity to work for a year, so this helped me learn a lot of things. Life College is GREATby Dennis Yong
The most memorable thing about life college is the friends that I have made, the fun times we had, the learning experience and the lecturers who are really very good.Life Skills is really informational for me and it really taught me a lot but I must say that life at Life college is quite good in the sense that the lecturer still kinda spoon feed but if you go to other universities out there I don’t think they will actually remind you and show you so much care and concern. Life College really cares. But it’s a good thing that they still do, I am not saying it’s a bad thing. I would say Life College Is Awesome.by Elizabeth Foo
I had fun, my learning experience was really fun and I met a lot of friendsby Abel Keng
What did I remember most about life College?Basically when we hang out in college with the guitar here and everyone will come and start singing and jamming and get scolding by one of the staff because the sound travels through the chaffs and everyone will hear.Describe Life College in one word or sentence?

It’s quite impossible to describe Life College in one word or one sentence but what I can really say is, it is life changing, it is a family college, everybody knows each other and everybody knows everything including all the good stuff but basically Life college is a small college community college where we can make friends easily

I learnt also to cultivate positive relationships with people; cope with difficult situations and apply inter- personal skills. I also learnt how to network with people and to come out of my comfort zone. It has established a break-through for me in my life.”by Melvin Ng, Graduate, Diploma in Business Studies

It really means a lot to me”by Yohan Yogaraj, Graduate, Certificate in Business Information Systems
Life College Diploma in Mass Communication covers what the workforce needs today. It helped me to understand every single terminology the organization use. It provided me with an added advantage to be better equipped as I know I will be knowledgeable and insightful in different areas when approached at work.The good interpersonal communication skills I have gathered along the way during my course of studies such as Psychology, Communication Skills and Public Speaking makes communicating information, ideas in writing and speaking easier for me in the office. Handling the media and doing follow up with the press for events and announcements also require an understanding on how the media works. This was taught during our journalism and broadcasting classes. Whatever I have learnt during my studies in Life College has helped me to cope with the workload I encountered during my internship in OSK Investment Bank.This industrial placement has made me better prepared for my future in the marketplace. As competition is going to be stiff, one needs to learn to adapt to any situation and acclimatize with the corporate culture instantly. It has taken me to a higher level of understanding the market needs and equip me to overcome possible obstacles I will face in the future. It has also shaped my personality to embrace the future whatever the circumstances may be.by Nicole Tan, Graduate, Diploma in Mass Communication on her work placement
“Before I come to Life College, I could not speak, read or write well in English. I was more comfortable speaking in Chinese. After just two months, I learnt how to pronounce well and understand the sounds of letters. I can now speak English much better and is improving everyday. The English programme here is very good.”by Lucas Lim, Student, English For Life
