Actually he received 2 offers to further his studies. One from there and another for a matriculation course in Kuantan. I advised him to take the matrix course but somehow he chose to go here. In UIA, you'll have to be really good in English and Arabic which I doubt not many people do. Plus if you do not perform well in the initial test, you'll be there a year or two longer than your matriculation student counterpart who will only spend a year there. Besides, I don't think it matters anyway in the end which university you graduate from, as long as you have a degree to show for.
That said, I hope he can prove me wrong and do well there in UIA. Good luck to you.
