STUDY AT SAITO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, AN AWARD WINNING UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

| STUDY AT SAITO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, AN AWARD WINNING UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE | Assalamualaikum and hi hi hi everything. Education can change the world and lives of many. In other word, education stimulates the economic growth less directly. It is done by increasing innovation, productivity, and human capital. Education has a history of fostering positive social change, by encouraging social equality, and environmental sustainability. In a summary, education spreads awareness, helps us stand up against wrong and for the right, helps progress, gives us a healthier lifestyle, helps us to be more productive, helps us connect across borders and gives empowerment.

Having said that, I am proud to introduce the Saito University College to all of you. Mr. Tetsuo Saito, the founder of Saito College, established the college in 1988. Saito College was the first institution in Malaysia to offer the Diploma in Graphic Design. Saito College have grown strength to strength since its inception and currently offers a wide range of courses in design, business and security management. In 2017, Saito College was awarded University College status by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education and now offer degree courses in various disciplines.
