Bachelor degree at NUM
It is not possible to enter an undergraduate program at NUM after the 11th grade. In Malaysia, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so applicants need to complete one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.), or study for a year at a university in their home country.
The suburban campus of NUM combines features of an urban and rural campus. It is located outside the big city, which allows you to focus on your studies. However, it is also not too far, opening up access to more types of recreation, both outdoors and in the city (theaters, museums, restaurants). The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. Foreigners who come to NUM through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
