The graduation of 74 students from Mauritius, who received their Diploma in Industrial Logistics from Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Industrial Technology (UniKL MITEC), marks a strengthened collaboration between Malaysia and Mauritius in the field of higher education and technical training.
The Mauritian graduates were part of UniKL’s 22nd Convocation Ceremony, which celebrated 6,872 graduates over five days at the World Trade Centre (WTC) Kuala Lumpur.
The Chargé d’Affaires of the High Commission of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr. Vishal Gansam, expressed his pride in witnessing the success of Mauritian students studying in Malaysia.
“It is a very proud moment for our country to see our students graduating here in Malaysia.
“They feel at home here, it is very similar to Mauritius. I hope to see more students coming to Malaysia to study,” he said.
A total of four graduates from Mauritius attended the final session of the convocation ceremony.
This milestone stems from UniKL MITEC’s strategic collaboration with Polytechnics Mauritius Ltd (PML), which began with the registration of 42 students for the Diploma in Industrial Logistics (DIL) programme, the institute’s first offshore partnership.
The first batch commenced classes on 5 September 2020.
One of the graduates, Aumeerun Chetan, 22, described the moment as deeply meaningful.
“It is a very proud moment for us Mauritian students to be here in Malaysia, especially at UniKL, the best university in Malaysia.
“The programme I studied has been very useful for my career, and I truly enjoy my work now. Looking ahead, I plan to continue my master’s degree here in Malaysia,” he said.
