KUIS To Send Students To Cairo University

BERNAMA: "BANGI, Aug 21 (Bernama) -- Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Selangor (KUIS) will send its students to Cairo University in Egypt following signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two universities Sunday.
Under the MoU, KUIS' students would have the chance to further their studies in the medical and science faculties of the university, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo said.
'The MoU is the first to be inked with Cairo University. The intake will start at year-end,' he told reporters after presenting diplomas to 610 KUIS' graduates at the university college's eighth convocation.
Dr Khir, a member of KUIS' Board of Directors, earlier signed the MoU on behalf of Selangor Government while Cairo University was represented by its Deputy Dean of Medical Faculty Prof Dr Ayman Mohamed Kamal El-Gafre and Deputy Dean of Science Faculty Prof Dr Mohamed Hamasa Abdel Latif.
KUIS Rector Datuk Mohd Adalan Isman inked for the university college.
Dr Khir said the MoU would provide an opportunity to school leavers from religious secondary schools to pursue their studies in medical and science fields.
He said the move would give a new image to the country's medical profession by producing doctors who have a deep knowledge of Islam and be role models for doctors from other universities.
