PurpleTrain student excels in the corporate world!

Our graduates or students come from all areas of the world and thrive in global multinational companies. This is partly due to the useful stint that they spend with us and to their hard work in pursing their higher education online. Mr Devan Vanniasingam, now IT Head - Internet Banking Systems, Saudi French Bank, one of our UOP graduates wrote to us recently to thank our colleagues for making his study an enjoyable and fruitful experience.


Dear Sir,

Hi. How are you doing? Hope that you are well and in the best of health.

I would like to formally take this opportunity to thank you personally and PurpleTrain lecturers (especially Miss Thara Ravichandran) and the Operations staff for making my study a memorable and interesting one. My gratitude goes beyond my expression to you and the lecturers who have been very patient and at the same time extremely supportive to me during my course of study for the BSc (Hons) with UOP.

Also, many thanks to Miss Victoria Ward from the Graduation Office in UOP who was very kind in making final arrangements for me to graduate in UOP last August (something I had waited for many years in my life to achieve that day!) The warm welcome and arrangements made by her when my family and I arrived in UOP, in addition to the superb Graduation ceremony, and the continuous support from you throughout my studies made me realize how professional and dedicated both organization have been to me, thus giving me the interest to pursue my further graduate studies once again with UOP and PurpleTrain. In addition, I would appreciate if you could kindly advise me on what are the best postgraduate degrees in demand by employers today, and that is being offered or will be offered by PurpleTrain in future?

Once again, please extend my sincere appreciation to PurpleTrain & UOP who I am immensely grateful to, and I hope to hear from you in the near future.


Thanks & best regards,

Devan Vanniasingam,
IT Head - Internet Banking Systems,
Saudi French Bank,
PO Box 56006, Riyadh,

Well done, Mr Vanniasingam, you have done us proud by proving that an online education can reap the same rewards as any other mode of study can provide. We hope you will continue to excel in your career and strive for the sky! At PurpleTrain, we are encouraged by feedback from students such as Mr Vanniasingam to give us the encouragement to do even better in our services and introduce more online courses for our students.
