Sim Shu En

Bachelor of Business (Hons) in Sales and Marketing

During the MCO, I lost my job and felt uncertain about the future. With the encouragement and support of my family, I enrolled in WOU through APEL to restart my journey and pursue my passion for business.

Returning to the classroom after three years wasn’t easy—I struggled with academic writing, English readings, and coursework requirements. But with the patient guidance of WOU lecturers and the support of my classmates, I overcame my fears and gradually found my rhythm again.

My WOU journey gave me more than just a degree. I gained practical marketing knowledge and consumer insights that I could apply in real life. More importantly, I built confidence, resilience, and the belief that lifelong learning can truly transform one’s future.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, I felt lost and unmotivated—but WOU became my restart. It gave me the confidence and skills I needed to kickstart my career as an accountant.

Vasanthi Devi a/p Subramaniam

Bachelor of Education in Primary Education

I was inspired to pursue my studies with WOU because, among all the teachers in my school, I was the only one without a formal qualification. Being in top management, this was a challenge, but with the encouragement of my Headmistress, I finally took the step. At first, I worried about balancing work and studies, but with determination and support, I successfully completed the programme.

The flexibility of WOU made all the difference. Online classes and weekend schedules allowed me to study without compromising work. The curriculum was closely tied to my teaching experience, which made learning meaningful, and the tutors—especially Dr. Sean—were always ready to guide and encourage me.

This journey has transformed me. I gained deeper insights into inclusive education, became more confident through presentations, and grew braver in my work. Most importantly, WOU strengthened my teaching, leadership, and decision-making, empowering me to better serve in education.
