Messages From Our Leadership

“

Welcome to Laksamana College of Business.

 

Kensington College of Business (KCB) has been a very familiar institution with Bruneian students in fulfilling their needs for further education. In this on-going process we have built a good relationship with students and their parents and in appreciation of the enthusiasm shown, we take great pleasure in establishing KCB in your country under the name Laksamana College of Business (LCB). For our Brunei College, we have developed comprehensive courses which meet current need such as Academic and Professional Business Courses. There are 2 main routes for those who want to pursue a career in Business:

  • Take a Professional Qualifications, e.g. KCB Diploma, which trains the students for specific careers in Administration, Marketing/Finance, etc.
  • Take a bachelor’s degree (BA) awarded by the University of Essex, which provides a high level of education and so prepares the students for a career in any area of business.

 

Although both of these routes will naturally inspire students to achieve top management positions, the completion of education can be achieved by continuation on to an MBA or MSc in KCB London. At KCB we offer both routes and our courses and facilities have been inspected and approved by Professional Associations, Universities, Employers and Students Worldwide. Remember, this is one small step in realizing your big dreams and we are proud to have been there for you.

Laksamana College was founded in 2003 to provide the next generation of Bruneians with training and exposure to the world of business. Today, as the government is calling for diversification due to the oil price, the mandate of training the next generation of entrepreneurs has never been more urgent and significant. How has Laksamana College responded to this?

 

As YB Pehin Hapidz stated in his founding statement, since our inception, developing entrepreneurs has always been the core of our existence. At Laksamana College, we encourage students to not only consider careers with the government. We constantly challenge students to identify opportunities; to ask the question about what the market needs; and the find solutions that will fill the gaps. Regarding this, we are actively engaged with the business community through BBBF (British Brunei Business Forum) in trying to establish dialogues; and conducting sessions on our premises to share the latest practical and market knowledge with our students.

 

We are a forward-thinking higher education institution aiming to prepare our students for a quickly-changing world. We equip our students with 21st Century skills, critical thinking skills, global perspective, and respect for core Brunei values of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and compassion. Developing these skills is at the heart of the education we offer. Students will have success for today and be prepared for tomorrow.

 

We desire to create an educational atmosphere that students will love being around. Our programs are intended to empower students to tackle challenges and take on experiences that may be new to them. At Laksamana College of Business, we are constantly striving to make learning fun and dynamic so that all of our students can accomplish their goals.

Student Voices

My hospitality classes were inspirational and useful, fun and interesting and I enjoyed every one of them. The depth and detail of what we were learning was far beyond my expectations! I would say that I have learnt so much from my programme and Laksamana, from organising and managing events, entrepreneurial aspects by creating our own company and marketing our products as well as extra- curricular activities that I have followed.

I started building up my own self-motivation through attending lectures, watching how determined my superb lecturers are in teaching and making sure we were not lost in class. Indeed, they were very supportive! In addition, seeing my peers enjoying and studying smart in such a great environment in LCB gave the perfect vibe that led me to be who I am right now. To me, choosing the right circle is another key to my success. When you choose the correct circle, you will be surprised by what you can achieve.

To have the privilege of studying at one of the best college here in Brunei is truly a blessing. I am forever grateful to have studied and gained knowledge under the wings of the lecturers here in LCB who are very supportive and helpful. They have molded me to become a better person and employee by enlightening and introducing me to a variety of methods and knowledge which I can implement in my job environment. Studying and working at the same time really was a challenge especially during this pandemic but it all goes down to how bad you really want it. Having a strong will, desire and a very supportive circle is the key for this successful achievement!
