What are some of the challenges you faced as a IRK & Human Sciences student while you were studying at IIUM?
Mmmmmmm.... can't think of any....

What are some of the challenges you faced as a fresh graduate?
Survival and getting a job. At that time, any work will do and Alhamdu lillah I managed to position myself as a better candidate for the post in UTM.

What advice would you give to IRK & Human Sciences students seeking to pursue careers using their qualifications?
HS qualifications from UIA is really a bonus. It is not the qualification much of getting a job, but your determinations and all the generic skills that you have required after years spend in UIA that will get you the best job and career in life.

What else would you like to tell the IRK & Human Sciences students currently studying at IIUM?
Be an active student while you are in UIA.
