Hi! May I know whether a non-bumiputra can enter this local university? Must I be Islam to enter?
Anyone (non-bumiputra) enter before? What are your experience?

Yes, there is one Indian girl who already graduate from there and she not muslim.. you can apply for it.. ^^

u dont need to be a bumiputera nor a muslim to study in UIAM.

Yes..u can study here w/o being a bumi...ONLY uitm needas b a malay..

It is an "International" university. Which part of International that you did not understand, TS?

Oh "Islamic", that must have confused you alot, eh

And thank you for the trolled answers here too

I wonder if there's any difference with other public universities ?
Such as if we compare the environment of USM and UIAM ?

I mean...the world "Islamic" does that conclude that most of the students there are Islam ?

most of the student are islam...

Well with IPTA and their unofficial quotas mostly any IPTA you go would have majority of Islam students ^^" It's just you will see more of the Islamic elements in UIAM compared to other universities and the students have a more strict dress-code than other universities probebly ^^

IIUM all can enter
there like boleh land
all can
huahuahua
hav a friend enter Law degree there
chinese guy

not really .....

can wear sexy2 mehh
just need to wear tudung only...

there are few opposition politician who are from there as well..google for it then...one example is fong po kuan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fong_Po_Kuan

truth spoken

nothing wrong if TS wanna pursuit stadi in UIA

i saport u
if u go there call me

As far as I know, non-bumi can study in uia too. And you don't necessarily need to be a Muslim to enter uia. Few of my friends are non-bumi (Indian, Chinese and some from other countries). We (since I was uia-ans before ) call the students as 'Direct-Intake' students coz they're either STPM-ers, Diploma students or foreigners.

If I'm not mistaken, non-muslim here need to take some islamic studies as well like other students. And don't worry, it's not a 'pecah kepala' kind of subject. In my opinion, it's more like ethical issues in which that if you goreng during exam, sure can get marks lah

One more thing I like is the environment. I mean more like the location of where all the kuliyyahs, office buildings are situated. Everything is like in the centre of uia. And outside the centre boundaries are the hostels. You don't have to run around the campus just to get from one place to another which to me is wasting my time and only make me all sweaty by the time I arrive to my next class, haha.

And the hostels are superb I think. Very selesa and not like the school hostel type. Each room will have 4 students and each of the students will have their own compartment. More privacy lah. Do naughty thing also ppl don't know

Whatelse..?? Ugh, the international students are very kind and very comfortable to work with. I don't really have issues with most of the international students that I worked with before... well, some of them might be a bit 'konon-konon sangatlah pandai in everything but they're actually not' but most of them are very down to earth, so easy to work with.

One thing to be berjaga-jaga is the pak guard. They can be very 'kejamlah' sometimes, fining ppl, especially when PTPTN or the scholars are out.

Aaah, and don't be all 'terkejut' once you start studying there and suddenly if you go outing and take the train from Terminal Putra, you'll see some students who go with you inside the bus to the LRT all wearing very ayu and then by the time they reach Terminal Putra, they'll take off everything and walla, here comes the skinny jeans, sleeveless tops

It's probably better than government controlled IPTAs.

hell?? lol~

anyone can enter IIUM...from my personal observation, most non-bumis pursuit their studies in IIUM for law degree. non-muslim girls need to wear scarf and proper cloth to class and if im not mistaken the syllabus for muslim and non muslim slightly different.

uia no hell la
lot of people with good manners there
dun make statement like that....

Really need 4 witness? I don't know abou this eh..cool

Is it true? really have to wear scarf? Can wear jeans? Aiyooo, i think i should forget it.

just wear ur scarf la....cute meh =p

scarf yes...there is a rule that prohibiting the student from using jeans but if u come to UIA, u will see most of the students(especially engineering and architecture) wearing jeans to class..lol
there no strict implementation on the jeans rule

yes to jeans
but need scarf

non-bumi can apply UIAM meh cause i last time calling UIAM need syarat khas like pendidikan islam spm .

are u sure? what course did u look into?

there's been numerous non-muslim/bumis studied and graduated from UIAM since ages ago.

errmm...i dont think there are any such requirement. i'll try ask any IIUM admission officers and will confirm about it later...

is it strict there? do all the muslims there have to pray? how bout 'pergaulan bebas'?

there are rules that i can say normal for an education institute with additional rules that portrayed the university as an islamic university. however, there are no strict implementation. pray is a religious duty, thus all Muslim need to pray. there is 'pergaulan bebas' at UIA but it is in control...there is student's club that actively monitoring the issues. frankly, not all IIUM students are devouted Muslim

it's an international skol, islamic but all use english medium, am i right??

Got some courses there use the arabic language =)

Hey everyone, I went to see around UIAM. All wear tudung and no chinese/indian, black people got lah a few i saw. I don't want to go there le...

haha , but too bad MSIA we got no choice. WE're like the fillers only.....everything also quota quota...

how long did u spend in UIAM and where did u go to?

you would expect that in a university with 'islam' in its name, no?.....

at least they have an open door policy, they welcome everybody irrespective of race or creed.......

that is more than uitm, which is ONLY for malays.....

mind to clarify sth? all female students need to wear scarf? or only muslim?

for non muslims wear scarf 'so-so' enough laa....wear something like selendang....tutup kepala sikit je bagi cukup syarat....but have to wear maa...

muslim students have to wear proper scarf.

o.... so it's a must for non-muslim also lah, juz not strict... thanks for ur ans

Added on March 12, 2010, 9:28 pmhi, i enter the iium website edi, but i m so blurr
i know there's gombak campus and kuantan campus... but where's the center of foundation studies located? btwn the 2 campus?

can someone please tell me what does this paragraph actually means? is the center for Foundation studies in petaling jaya?

BTW, can chinese enter the asasi?

yes i do think he meant in putrajaya.

mayb i think its an OR?
because how do you explain the non muslim guys and girls there?
this is my opinion tho..not very sure bout it.

Thanks for reply~
hmm, need to look into this matter or give them a call

Hi /k/ , eh Friends , im a IIUM student taking economics now , let me answer some of your question


yes , need to wear scarf


lol , its in Nilai , the campus is for Art student , and btw the rule there is different with PJ students , i mean jauh berbeza

be careful , sometimes if lecturer or pak guard buat gila 1 offence can cause you RM50 bro
cfs days i almost kena saman RM50 for not wearing tie on wednesday

well , kinda strict , in my perspective its just ok , there is a club that is monitoring it , lupa dah nama club tu lol

btw Solat is Wajib in Islam so you have to solat

pergaulan bebas? if you want to do assignment and stuff ok lah , tapi if dating or makan together memang kena saman RM50 la

wow, my god, got so many saman eh....

let me describe iium:

well iium is established by the govt under companies act not auku so that it can use english in all medium of communications to reflect its internationality. some courses are conducted in arabic.

they want to create an islamic environment for study thus the rule of tudung etc. as this is part of the education policy adopted by IIUM. it is enforced however the authorities there feel that its better to have more campaign run by students then enforcement. The saman is part of the enforcement.

you need to study arabic + some islamic studies so that you can understand the culture and it can be done there.

ehhh, non muslims need to wear scarf?
I thought can free hair there?

no lah. non Muslim can, not wear tudung/hijab/veil/scarf whatever. it is only that most of them at least wear scarf to comply with the islamic dresscode in the attempt to better mix with the larger crowd. However, the written dresscode for non-Muslims is not the same as the one meant for Muslims. They can wear anything as long as it's decent. And the rules are not that strict too, mind you.

IIUM the only IPTA that can accept my bro for foundation studies. 15 y/old kenot enter uni meh? finished matric and currently in nottingham college.. later he wan to take master, but ipta loh., nottingham very2 expensive liao

they have accepted a 12yr old before (but did not turn up). the younger one will be interviewed

so is UIA soo strict in terms of dress code for MUSLIM students?

oh gosh, somehow IIUM scares me.

To fellow ex or currently studying in uiam students.. I've got a question.

The islamic studies... Are they tough? Will they be much of a burden in your opinions? And what is it about? Do you have to take up arabic as another language?

easy la..dont wori..easy to get A ma..but u need to take arabic..but dont wori again..it only simple arabic..everyone can learn..

oh yea,in terms of rules yea its strict. but,u know rite usually uni's rules nowadays just on a piece of paper
theres not really applying it. seriuos i said it

i hate dat<_<

agreed..the rules is strict..but u still can wear jeans n shirt to go to class..

is asasi in PJ great? i meant, is it conducive? comfortable? good facilities?
good people?

why IIUM is good in LAW? is there any good courses that in IIUM. i mean..specialise

every course sure got perbezaan with other uni one
like IslamicFinance etc

looool so many misconceptions about iium. im currently in the iium foundation center in nilai taking english^^

honestly, the arabic is really easy. i have a friend who has never learned arabic before but during final exam she managed to get an A while i only got a B >.< (eventhough i had learned arabic for nearly 10 years lol. the bits that i learned in secondary school are very complicated for me to comprehend. and im really lazy so yeah )

and the foudation centre is like 1087363 times more strict than the main campus. my sister is taking econs in the main campus so she told me a lot of stuff goin on there yes, you can wear jeans to class, nobody would care really. even the lecturers. i went to the main campus a few times and i saw the students wearing skinnies and leggings and that sort of clothing to class. the kind of clothing you can never wear in cfs nilai

for the female non muslim, you have to wear at least something to cover your head. a scarf wouldnt be necessary. just a bandanna would do the important thing is to cover your head. and oh yes, dress modestly! i think the only thing you cant wear to class are minis and tank tops XD but to be on the safe side, just cover the major parts of your body^^

the pak guards in the main campus are so much better than the ones in the cfs. i got fined rm50 because i didnt wear an anak tudung once >.< thank god i got it reduced to rm10 at the principal's office.

and their system is a bit fgrkivgffrv la. the staffs in the offices always seemed pissed somehow and they're really not friendly. if you ask a lot of questions they might just tell you to piss off or smthng XD

Fren's brother, chinese, graduated there.. but mostly all malays there.

sendiri buat salah , cakap pak gad salah

booo , no wonder u ppl kena spotcheck kaw kaw

im just juxtaposing the pakguards in the main camp and the pakguards in the foundation centre. the pakguards in main camp wouldnt care about things that small.

btw is this your last sem? btw for me , most ben students are quite kepoh you know ,lagi2 teh girls

lol no i have another long sem in nilai before i can go to the main camp. initially i only have to do one year of foundation studies but because i got biosc in the first sem and i cant change the bloody course that sem, then i've sort of wasted that one whole sem doing biosc T_T

HAHA tell me about it. the majority of the ben students very kepochi summore gedik-gedik wan.even the boys :swt: i think i fall in the normal ben student category^^

perghhh , last time your AGD gila grand , see picture from friends phone macam pergi night club lol

at the end of the day , some of the girls kena simbah air LOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

gedik? hs and ben students most of em is like the students from taylors who take hospitality or communication yo

I KNOW RIGHTT. all the gedik girls were dancing in front of everybody with flirty body movements and stuff
i left when everybody started dancing. nothing like uia ady HAHA i was told about the splashing incident. when the dinner finally ended all those girls were making such a ruckus outside the hall that they got splashed by the boys from their upper level dorms. serves them right lol

and i wholeheartedly agree on your last sentence. and most of them likes to have so-called intelligent sounding conversations in an american accent with each other i mean, they're both malays right so why dont they just speak malay to each other. wanna show off their super english skills i suppose

but BEN and HS girls are most likely pretty

true story

lol. but pretty with rjfhukrgrtf attitude oso cannot pakai what course are you taking btw?^^

ECONS

ohhh my sister is taking econs too^^ so are you in your 2nd year or what?

1 more long sem in Nilai , shud be graduating this sem snce im 6english arab1

thank for maths 2

next sem taking one subject only

oh awesomee. give my love to the main campus lol. i have to bear with one more bloody long sem -__-

my chinese fren (finished STPM) planning to apply for law degree in UIA this year...but when she read this:

https://online.mohe.gov.my/upu/emas/index_s...A&carian4=00197

MEMENUHI SYARAT AM UNIVERSITI
DAN
SYARAT KHAS PROGRAM

3. Mendapat sekurang-kurangnya 6C/C pada peringkat SPM dalam mata pelajaran berikut:

Pendidikan Islam / Tasawwur Islam / Pendidikan Al-Qur'an & As-Sunnah / Pendidikan Syariah Islamiah

Mathematics /Additional Mathematics
Sejarah

Mana-mana tiga (3) mata pelajaran lain termasuk Bahasa Melayu; ....


How ar? she never take Pendidikan Islam / Tasawwur Islam / Pendidikan Al-Qur'an & As-Sunnah / Pendidikan Syariah Islamiah for SPM..then cannot enter ?

And, do they provide free bus shuttle from certain location to pick up students from KTM station or monorail?



This post has been edited by iamkid: Mar 22 2012, 12:48 AM

Some non bumis/Muslims took Tasawwur Islam because they knew they had to take it in order to enter UIA if I'm not wrong. I was exposed to Tasawwur Islam.. looked kinda easy.. ended up not taking it though.

when i did my law degree there back in late 1990's there were several non muslim ladies took the course. when i continue my master degree in 2006, one of my classmate for islamic criminal law class is a christian.

ok....tat means tat the race or religion doesn't matter....

so is it a MUST to take Pendidikan Islam / Tasawwur Islam / Pendidikan Al-Qur'an & As-Sunnah / Pendidikan Syariah Islamiah to enter UIAM ?

KuzumiTaiga...did u enter UIAM without Pendidikan Islam / Tasawwur Islam / Pendidikan Al-Qur'an & As-Sunnah / Pendidikan Syariah Islamiah ?

i think its a must. it also applied to other islamic university like uni sains islam msia

regarding this, there is lrt station,gombak that provide rapidkl bus that will stop inside the campus

sorry dude I ain't in UIAM.
