Message from the Chair and Founder

Message from the Chair and Founder

It is with pride and pleasure that I welcome you to First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities.

 

As you explore the FAITH portal, I would like to share with you our philosophy towards education, the courses we offer, our campus and learning environment, and above all else what the First Asia Institute experience is all about.

 

We at the First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities believe that the choice of what school to attend should ultimately be based on two criteria: first, on the soundness of the courses that the school offers, and second, on the quality of student experiences that it presents. It is our belief that the sort of education you will receive at First Asia Institute will meet both these criteria bar none.

 

In this website you will find all the information you need to know about FAITH. I hope that by learning all about the Institute you will appreciate that the opportunity to study at FAITH is one not to be missed.

 

Ad Astra First Asia!
