I'm going to study in UKM for this coming September, Bachelor in Architecture, nice to meet you all. Just wondering can I just skip the orientation week? Any bad consequences if i fail to attend it?

Hi! Welcome to Ukm! Why would you want to skip it? It is a great and memorable experience for all new enrolled students.

Btw, it is not advisable to skip it sice we have to register the course during orientation week and familiarize ourself with the environment. Unless you have a reason to skip the orientation.

Actually my situation is like this, I already got my architecture degree (part 1) in another Uni and going to study part 2 architecture( 2 years course) in UKM. I'm from Sabah and currently working in Sabah, will work until end of Aug and is quite rush for me to join the orientation. And I plan to stay outside of the campus as well, because we might need to do our work without day and night ( if you have architecture friend then you will know what I mean), so its not a good idea for me to stay in hostel and sharing room with others. Is there any possible for me to skip the orientation week and not to pay the accommodation fee to staying in the hostel? Write a letter to the officer?

How about actuarial science? Do they teach in BM or Eng?

I see bro. Let me tell you, the orientation is actually managed by student's own hostel senior students. If you are not planning to stay in hostel, you have to call up to your hostel office and let them know. Yes, you may not need to pay if you are not planning to stay inside. But you have to inform them earlier before the sem starts. Ask for their direction.

Actually accommodation week can be skipped, regarding to the courses registration would not be a problem as long as you have the Internet. Just that during the orientation they will teach you all the basics including courses registration.

Btw, what hostel did you get?

Anyhow, regardless of they are teaching in BM or BI, if you prefer to use BI, you always can do your own study or research using English material. There is no fix textbooks anymore when you are in university.

As for me, I use both Malay and English materials though some my lecturers taught in English some in Malay.

Hi, new student to Ukm?

There are lots of rooms or houses for rent nearby Ukm. You can also apply to stay inside the hostels. So no worry about it. Lots of flyers around the bus-stop promoting for their house and room out for rent.

they are teaching in "BM" + English

perhaps that help..

Hi,

I got accepted for a year long non-graduate program which starts on February 2013. So basically i'm taking a student exchange from Finland. I wanted to ask about the medical check-up report needed for the UKM student pass. What kind of examinations do they do and I wonder if it was possible to do the examination before arriving to Malaysia?

I'd be really glad if someone could help me. For some reason International student centre won't return my e-mails.
