During a session with parents and guardians of the new Foundation Studies in Management students, Prof. Dr Ahmad Martadha Mohamed assured them that UUM remains committed to prioritising student welfare through the provision of 16 forms of assistance for students in need.
The assistance includes financial aid, learning equipment such as laptops, living support assistance, early study assistance and various other forms of support initiatives to help students focus on completing their studies at UUM.
“We are truly proud that many of the parents present today are UUM alumni who have once again chosen this university as the preferred educational destination for their children’s higher education. Their decision reflects their confidence in the quality of our academic programmes and the university’s continuous growth.
“UUM’s Accounting and Law programmes are among the best in Malaysia, while disciplines such as Accounting, Finance and Banking are also recognised among the world’s leading fields based international subject rankings,” he said.
