[Malaysia] University of Malaya – Students Exchange Program Spring 2021

Greetings from the University of Malaya, Malaysia!

 

The University of Malaya, or UM, Malaysia’s oldest university, is situated on a 900-acre campus in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The varsity is proud to claim the title of the country’s premier university and the origins of the university can be traced back to 1905 with the founding of King Edward VII College of Medicine and its subsequent merger in 1949 with Raffles College (founded 1929) in Singapore to form the national university of the Federation of Malaya under the name of University of Malaya.

In 1954, the government put forward a proposal that the University of Malaya should rightly have two branches, one in Singapore and another in Kuala Lumpur. Through an act of parliament in 1961, the University of Malaya as we know it today in Kuala Lumpur was established on 1 January 1962 as the first university in this country.

We would like to inform you on our current planning for Semester 2, Academic Session 2020/2021 (Spring 2021). With the current Malaysia Immigration directive to suspend the processing of all new student visa applications until further notice, it has become a great uncertainty for all higher learning institutions in Malaysia to plan for a physical mobility program as student visa is mandatory for any study purposes in Malaysia. Hence, the Semester 2, Academic Session 2020/2021 (Spring 2021) semester is currently expected to be a virtual semester with all classes conducted online. We will keep you posted if we are able to resume the mobility program physically or in a hybrid mode.

However, we are pleased to inform you that the Application for Students Exchange Program at the University of Malaya is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
