Bachelor degree at USM
11 years of school is not enough to get into USM. Since students study longer in Malaysia, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.).
During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. The university has many opportunities for sports. There are sports grounds and various clubs.
